Putin, but cutting off the gas without any warning, only showed everyone that relying on Russia's gas so much was pure insanity in the first place. Now, Europe will pay the price for that stupidity. Hopefully, it won't be that high and things will come back to normal in a couple of years.
BTW, I wonder if US is paying attention. It's no longer 1940s when the US manufacturing output won WWII, now the US are mainly people sitting in offices, managing production that happens in China. What happens when the tensions between US and China get really serious? If China decides to cut off US's corporations from their manufacturing base, the US is just a bunch of people in offices sending slack messages to each other... That does not win wars.

- wbsss4412 4y agoThe US is still has the second largest manufacturing output in the world. This also isn’t the 1940s anymore in the sense that, while the world and the US are particularly dependent on China, China is also dependent on the rest of the world. Supply chains are global and span multiple countries for even basic items.
