Whoever did that, did Germany a solid by speeding up its decoupling from a murderous dictatorship.
> I wonder when countries on the macro scale stop acting like fifteen year old boys fighting over the same toy. Not in our lifetime for sure.
Maybe it would help if we properly sanctioned the countries who are starting the wars. By, I dunno, no longer sending them Billions of dollars for their stuff. And by helping the victims to defend themselves.
Incentives matter.

- cassepipe 3y agoYes but how long your democracy is going to hold russia-backed far-right populists when the prices of everything spikes The explosion on the other hand forces all the previously change-averse industries to quickly find out new sources. And politically, no rival can tell that you should lift sanctions and buy russian gas again for the people
- konschubert 3y agoYea, agree. And that's exactly what happened: German gas is now cheaper than it was before the war.
