    You understand the EU is a humongous entity with a load of moving parts and actually a democracy without a dictator Donny? It takes time to coordinate you know?

      This isn’t a matter of “getting all the parts moving”…it’s a matter of even starting to move in the direction they say they are.

      It’s like watching an alcoholic saying they’re going to quit this time, for real…and then watching them drink even more the next day.

        You know your example works very well. An alcoholic will die if he quits cold turkey is he is really addicted. The EU member states are quite addicted to Russian energy and finding alternatives will take some pain. Its a multi step process like quitting addiction is.

          It was temporary, and they quickly found a solution to continue it. That mental agility could be applied to energy supplies, too.

        That has been backdoored, which happens in the US daily. Its angering a lot of people and I hope it won’t stand. This has some Donny qualities and the responsible CSU politician will hopefully get a beating for that.
