The European Union has banned the import of Russian coal in the latest set of sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine, but the 27-nation bloc has — so far — stopped short of an immediate ban on Russian oil and natural gas, even though Ukrainians have been urgently demanding it and the action could prove far more damaging to the Kremlin.
The main obstacle to such a move within the EU has been Germany. The country depends on Russia for more than 50% of the natural gas it uses. The government in Berlin claims that an instant embargo would plunge its economy into recession and put tens of thousands of its citizens out of work.
When Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the German parliament by video link recently, he berated lawmakers over this issue. In effect, he accused the Germans of willfully allowing themselves to become hooked on cheap Russian gas while ignoring the danger of becoming dependent on an autocratic regime, solely for commercial benefit. He suggested that Germany had put its economy above every other consideration.
Well, just try a lock-down. That worked over here.
“He suggested that Germany had put its economy above every other consideration.”
Duh. Mega DUH!
Why should Germany bankrupt itself for the sake of Ukraine?
Why should Western Europe bankrupt itself for Ukraine?
Bearing in mind that Germany and Western Europe are nihilistic shitholes of depravity, collectivism, and Satanism – inundating themselves with Satan-worshipping ragheads – should they offer themselves as sacrifices for the the money-laundering, corrupt, Biden-affiliated, anti-Semitic criminals of Ukraine?
Put it to a vote! Hold a plebiscite. Follow the will of those most effected.

I’m sure Biden, Obola, and Clintons can hook them up with other sources, like China, Iran, or Venezuela.

The hand wringing, navel gazing and bumper sticker posting re: Ukraine in Seattle has replaced the Covidaramma as the most popular virtue signaling circle jerk. Not my circus and those ain’t my monkeys. What this is all about is that it threatens the Pelosis, Kerrys, Ronneys, Bidens and the rest of the usual suspect’s One Stop Money Laundering Shop.
So much of the solution to this is just common sense. Either the pols are wildly dumb getting paid off, or both.
The reality of it is, it’s not that Trump is that smart, it’s that they are that Fing stupid.
And maybe that the Biden crime family makes the Clinton’s look like amateurs. (Although, it’s still possible it’s the other way around with the Biden family taxes unable to hide all crimes over 50 years…)
Oh yes!!! Let’s lock down again and watch the elites still have their parties, beaches, clubs, hairdressers, restaurants and, ivermection while the rest of us peons sit on the side lines and watch.I WON’T DO IT!
I was at the store today and a man came in wearing a cowboy hat and a black mask! I thought it was the Lone Ranger!
