I'm glad Europe is uniting.

While still buying a lot of natural resources from Russia.

At least half of Europe is the very definition of hypocrisy the last few years.

Zelensky is impresive not because of what he says but because of what he does, I think the European Union isn't demonstrating anything but talking a lot.

Shit like that takes years to wean off, can't just throw the breaker on that without building up its replacement and infrastructure first and gradually transition

Sanctions started around 2014-2015. Even Spain buys gas from Russia.
