Everytime they do this a nato country has an energy crisis and a new third world country gets a new very reasonably priced supply of oil.
Now if the Europeans could stop reacting to those energy crisis by electing people who want to power their homes by pressing immigrants into oil we'd be all set.
Because they are. I mean first few packages were likely aimed at both Russia and enriching west oligarchs, but after 13 didn't worked against Russia, the reason they keep doing it simply must be the other aim.
After ww2 Germany should've been abolished. Stalin had too much humanity and wasn't able to make the hard but necessary decision to push on past Berlin.
Edit: I can relate. I'm a softy and would've done the same thing.
When WW2 ended the unification of Germany was still in living memory. It would’ve been so reasonable to split it up. Like not into West and East Germany but into multiple actual separate states.
