I can't believe that the EU is actually talking about embargoing Russian oil and gas. It's suicide. They get 27% of their oil from Russia and 41% of their gas. It would completely destroy the European economy and shut down thousands of factories. It would be the instant end of Europe as a first-world economical zone.

Then think of the collapse in food, eating, and energy production due to a lack of oil and gas. Russia can survive without export money, they have the resources and industry to fully feed and warm themselvs. Europe will simply die without oil and gas.

It's like Eurocrats are making policies based off of twitter threads about Russia being a gas station with nukes and Putin's oligarch masters who'll kick him out if you take their yachts.

It just proves once again that the United Snakes of Jewmerica is in charge. Our leaders -- with the exception of Macron, to be completely fair to him -- can't get enough of sucking Uncle Shlomo's cock. When the US says "Spread your legs, bitch!" our leaders answer "How wide?!". Michael Hudson has been writing excellent articles about this insane vassalage for weeks now. He said that the only people in the EU who are serious about European independence from the US are radical rightists, which he thinks is unfortunate because he's a leftist. He thinks the left in the West is an embarrassing collection of useful idiots for the CIA, which is obviously true. He only sees revolutionary potential on the right, particularly in Germany. Nothing will make that insight a reality faster than embargoing Russian oil and gas. Perhaps our leaders think the CIA will come in with Black Hawks to save them from their own people? Could they really be that delusional?
