> That is very far from the truth - please check the recent events

You are forgetting or ignoring Russia's bigger guns. If Russia wanted to use NATO methods, it would be over in one day with hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties.

> For multiple decades Russia was using energy as a way to corrupt EU.

"Interesting" narrative.

> If Ukraine falls, Russia will invade Europe in a decade with Ukrainian military on its side.

If Russia wanted to attack NATO and start WW3, it would already have done so. Why would it need to attack Ukraine first?

Please try to think logically.

> Europe need to remove its dependence on the Russian gas completely for its own safety.

The same as above applies. If Russia wanted to conquer Europe as you seem to believe, independence from Russia's gas isn't going to help in any way to prevent that.

What methods?

Carpet bombing? Burning cities with napalm? Using depleted uranium? Burning children with Phosphorus? Planting mines for civilians? Supporting terrorist organizations that bombs people, or even directly bombing people directly? Starving thousands of hundreds of people and openly admitting doing that... Do you need more?

Just curious - like what?

Only it's difficult to actually use them without getting getting preventative strike yourself. NATO had tactical nukes as well, they only declared it after ruZZkies threatened to use it.
