      Part of the problem there is that they’re vassals of the US so unless they change that relationship somehow, they’re tied to US foreign policy. And the US loves making enemies. Makes it easier for politicians to give juicy contracts to their buddies who make bombs. Plus if European gas imports get disrupted, it just makes them more dependent on imports from the US. As the empire declines, the vassals are just going to get more and more fucked.

      It’s not that easy. E.g. Europe was on good terms with Russia. It is not like Europe decided to become an enemy of Russia, Russia attacked an European country. Of course we should question ourselves if we should have trusted Russia in the first place.

      The only way out is to become more enery independent by using more renewable energies.

        Russia attached a European country

        Mf Russia is a European country. You ask if you can trust Russia and yet most countries in the world wouldn’t trust EU and NATO for shit.
