    it’s effectively funding Russia’s war effort more than it’s funding the opposition to it in Ukraine

    Is that what you meant? If so, that’s not true either.

      It’s hyperbolic, but the EU still pays Russia for tens of billions of dollars worth of fossil fuels every year, even with the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, and even recent initiatives to reduce that have ended up in internal EU squabbles.

      I don’t mean to excoriate Euros, especially considering that I’m living in the most transparent and fragile of glass houses at the moment. It’s just that that’s… not fantastic.
