    Without looking at posters history, he is kinda right (about the gas guzzling, not fear mongering)

    EU had years to start to diversify/start goverment run energy supply from a) polluting and b) “come on, look what laws they were implementing at home” Russia.

    Could have put two and two together and realise that funding Putin might not be the best idea…

    But no, let’s just keep buying things from obvious dictators…

      This, above-me, is more important than its score is indicating:

      “unconscious at the wheel” is humankind’s default “governing”, evidence now proves.

      NOBODY’s been doing proper dimensions-by-dimensions orthogonal-sets of scenario-planning,

      & that means nobody’s got actual strategy.

      Just moderating the status-quo isn’t strategy, it is committee-negotiating.

      There are people who played the Risk boardgame…

      having a MMPORPG ( or whatever the hell they’re called ) with the correct divided-by-dimensions representation of our world,

      & using it for scenario-planning, could really put a dent in the wildcard-dictator-sadists of this world’s plans!

      Simply by discovering their leverages, & systematically-extinguishing them, more-moderate-path could be enforced, strategically…

      Mind you, it’d also discover our weaknesses, which we’ve ignored-too-long, & … to great political-difficulty … suddenly now have to be dealing with, of course…

      but better to have a shored-up immune-system ( at the national level ) before a pandemic hits, than to have a rotted-out one in the same pandemic, isn’t it?
