@kravietz@agora.echelon.pl @solar_chase@mastodon.green The US isn't an unrelated 3rd party. It was until recently supposedly an ally and the co-guarantor of European security. Yes, the EU should use its own geopolitical power as it sees fit, though this hard to do given the nature of the entity. German purchase of Russian energy was always questionable but the effort to integrate Russia economically given German moral debt wasn't. It failed. That was not Germany's or the EU's fault and will accelerate decarbonisation.

@samueljohnson@mstdn.social @solar_chase@mastodon.green Funny that you use the old Steinmeier’s “moral debt” fallacy in a way that is very favourable for Putin’s Russia while completely ignoring the numbers that indicate that the actual largest “moral debt” Germany owes to Poland, Belarus and Ukraine, the countries Germany had traditionally been throwing under the bus whenever it comes to pleasing Putin.
