The fun part is how this is sabotaging our economy.
You can't sanction a country if you're depending on importing critical resources from them...

EU effectively ended up sanctioning itself. This is a great illustration of how materialism once again beats idealism.

you evidently can!

what you have to realize is that these arent materialist sanctions, they're idealist sanctions. which is good news, since the clowns "in charge" of europe are idealists.

You can if you're building out technology to wean yourself from that critical resource at the same time.
