@mmeier yeah, but something went wrong with your country, and you have a lot of politicians who prefer making money with Russia, no matter the cost
@stfn Yeah. That was one massively failed 20-year bet on the entire "When we trade with them there's not going to be war" idea, and now we're paying the price for that after being rather rapidly cut off from cheap energy. I'm still rather relieved that the Scholz admin at least had enough fortitude to swallow the sanctions instead of running (too much) interference...
@mmeier yes, it's still much better than for example Orban, the best friend of Putin in the EU. And speaking of energy, another upside, if we call it that way, of the war with Russia is showing the world how fragile is dependency on fossil fuel, and how quickly we must switch to renewables
