A good, balanced answer.
Just one point, don’t club all of Europe in the same basket when criticising about using Russian energy
I’m well aware the Poles and several other Eastern European countries were inoculated against the global socialism and Gaia worship of the Western European elites.
When you’ve had socialism imposed on you for 40 years, you don’t romanticize it. When you’ve had to fight and scratch and claw to get your national sovereignty back, you don’t give it up lightly. When the socialism imposed on you for 40 years has left you behind economically, you don’t tend to indulge in wasteful Gaia worship. I told my Hungarian friends back in the mid 90s that in some ways, they were better off/further ahead than Western Europe. They didn’t know what I meant. I’m pretty sure they understand what I meant now.
