They claim Russia is the baddy, but they have been buying Russian oil this whole time. Libs think nothing suspicious is happening here. Weird. Incredibly misleading. You forgot to mention: Gas exports from Russia to the EU shrunk from 45% in early 2022 to 13% today Oil imports from Russia to the EU shrunk from 27% in early 2022 to 2% today. All Russian coal exports have been totally banned. In early 2025, the EU agreed to phase out purchase of ALL Russian oil and gas by the end of 2027. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rusty with his "I was a journalist!!!" @Ron_Artest with his "TRUMP!!! " @MDC with his telling strangers on the internet "you never been with a girl " @thegeneral with his last word guy shlt, @squistionwith his outrage.... These guys are the loneliest people in the world looking for companionship with strangers online. They can't function because they can't get along with people in person. So they feel a sense of community with other angry lonely strangers online. The only thing that keeps them going is to find a single common focal point of hatred. But they all have their own individual deep seeded issues that come out daily. Liberals are really stupid. These guys are completely stunted in their emotional and mental growth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Russian oil imports now down to 2% and declining... proclaiming "Europe is still buying Russian oil !!!" is meaningless and misleading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Laundering Russian oil has been a problem, and the EU has had a difficult time stopping it (though they've tried). At the very least, it still prevents Russia from getting market prices and they still sell at a steep discount. It would all end tomorrow if the US would invoke secondary sanctions on any country (mainly Turkey, India, and China) from even buying Russian oil in the first place. Then it's game over. The Senate is about to pass the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025 and put it on Trump's desk over the next few weeks. Whether Trump will actually sign it is questionable considering he's never needed a bill from Congress to do it. He could've invoked secondary sanctions the day he took office, yet he's been reluctant to punish Russia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
