Given some of the Putin bootlickers in the EU parliament though, like Hungary, I wonder if that would’ve even been possible.

True, they didn’t immediately seize all trade, but within a month already imposed sanctions like bans on imports and exports (particularly related to weapons and energy), restricted Russia’s access to the EU financial markets, SWIFT bans on several Russian banks (I don’t understand why not all of them) and a lot more.

Since the start they’ve imposed 17 sanction packages. Should they have done more in the 1st month though? Absolutely. I read your comment as if you were saying they did nothing at all, hence my response being what it was. If I read that wrong, I apologize.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. Are you saying the EU has imposed no sanctions before this? If so, that’s objectively false. The EU has imposed many sanctions against Russia already since February 2022 on top of existing sanctions because of Crimea.

I dislike Reddit too, but why would you want to ruin a subreddit just because you want to stop? What’s the problem with finding new mods? This logic seems similar to Reddit’s by thinking it’s your property, when it should be the community’s
