Nah, fuck us. The EU managed to not get to this point in over two years of war. Pre-Trump, a complete embargo on all Russian fuels (oil, gas, uranium, maybe even wood) would have been welcomed by the US government and Trump would have had a much harder time trying to roll back sanctions. Now that we fucked the dog on that issue, everything is much harder because the more fickle among EU government leaders will have two influential voices in their ears trying to avert further sanctions. I also think this war could have been over already if Europe had given more weaponry much sooner, sanctioned fuel imports much harder, and done anything at all to protect its societies from the influence of Russian propaganda (even RT is still easily accessible, just not at the same web address).
Fuck you, America.
