What's the other option? Telling daddy America to stop their most recent incursion in a far away land for the sake of profit so things can go "back to normal"? Do you think they'll listen? Thank God someone might be able to provide us with cheapish oil, that's all we can say now.

Because of course oil is just a luxury no one actually needs in the day to day

the other user asked for possible alternatives, and you are still miserably failing to give any.

should EU just not buy any oil from anywhere, and preemptively hand over elections to the growing far right parties? is that what you say? if so, please state it clearly next time, so that instead of farming upvotes with "the obvious superior solution", the actual consequences could be discussed

Pull out of Ukraine, including Crimea, and then we'll talk. Until then, you can fuck right off.

And this, along with Epstein distraction, is the real reason Trump launched this war of aggression.

Maybe he can get out of Ukraine.

I didn't even think of this angle until earlier today... I would not bet against the EU totally folding to Russia if the war continues through the week. Garbage timeline

Maybe that was Trump's goal all along. Russian asset and all that

This Iran war is a win-win for Putin. What other actions will he make his puppet do?
