🇷🇺🇪🇺 Sanctions? What sanctions?
In 2024, the EU... after all its moral posturing, 18 rounds of sanctions, and empty threats, was still one of Russia’s top 3 trading partners, right behind China and India. You couldn’t make it up.
Despite lecturing the world about “values” and “isolation,” the unelected technocrats in Brussels have quietly kept their pipelines to Moscow humming. While farmers riot and Europeans freeze under soaring costs, EU trade with Russia hit $67.5 billion and Russian exports overall jumped 18% to $330 billion, according to Bild and the EU Commission itself.
Strip away the sanctimony, and what do you find? The same old European addiction to cheap, reliable Russian commodities... energy, fertilizer, raw materials, disguised behind a PR smokescreen of ‘stand with Ukraine.’ The same EU that cuts off its own nose in public is cutting quiet backdoor deals in private.
This is the real European hypocrisy: publicly vowing to cripple Russia, privately fueling and forced to do business with the very country they tried to break.
