“I hope this lesson sticks”
The lesson that needs to stick over there is that dependence on unfriendly nations for your supply of essentials must be ended. We’ll see what the Western Europeans do.
As an aside, we and them all gobble too much energy. Having said that, I’m not at all worried about CO2 or global warming.
I just hope conservatives, military, and anti-greens do better in European elections because of this.
The "elites" have a plan for that. It involves a much smaller number of us and them.
Events usually go off in directions that differ from plans.
