> The European reliance of course. Expecting a KGB agent turned warlord to sell key resource for a good price forever without any strings attached is just crazy.

The moment when Europe got screwed was Russia and China signing the $400B contract in 2014. Until then Russia needed Europe and Europe needed Russia.

Europe alienating Russia and China at the same time is Europe in trouble.

I think US foreign policy has created all of these problems for the EU. There would never have been an expansion in the direction of Crimea without four waves of NATO expansions in the direction of Russia, while after the collapse of the Soviet Union it was promised that NATO would never expand in the direction of Russia.

Without the invasion of Afghanistan, the Taliban crossing the border to China and the massive radicalization in Xinjiang in the early 2000s, there would have been no camps in Xinjiang. Please do not forget that the terrorist militia "East Turkestan independence movement" founded in Xinjiang was led as a terrorist organization by the EU, the USA, Russia and of course China after it was founded. Also do not forget that tens of thousands of these Uyghurs, radicalized by the Afghan Taliban, joined the Islamic State and fought in Iraq and Syria against the US - always openly with the aim of bringing jihad to China. China reacts the way China reacts, but it is wrong and naive to discuss the issue without discussing the trigger.

Thanks to the US, we now have enemies instead of friends. And I ask you - is it easier to fight our common enemy, global warming, with friends or with enemies?
