And how did the entire world allowed itself to depend on China for... pretty much everything? Middle-eastern oil too.
It is globalization, which, in principle, is a good thing. Maybe nor for climate change since we are talking fossil fuels, but if a country has an abundance of resources, it would be a shame not to trade. If Russia needs the world and the world needs Russia, there is more chance for the conflict to end with diplomacy than by killing millions.
