very funny prank to stoke anti-immigrant sentiment up to a fever pitch and then trick a bunch of boers to emigrate here

No gas through Nordstream and Russia is still getting money from Europe for Russian gas. The point I am making is that cutting Russian gas delivery off from Europe has already been done and all it means is Europe pays even higher prices for Russian gas because they’re still buying it through middlemen. Cutting off direct petroleum supply to Europe has not and would not stop the war, that is exactly why the USA blew up Nordstream and forced Europe to sanction Russian petroleum.

As Europe is finding out, you can’t win a war by fucking your own economy voluntarily.

Why would that have stopped the war? Europe is still buying Russian oil through intermediaries despite more than a dozen rounds of sanctions.
