That's the thing, Wharfie. Whatever happened to Brandon's warnings about World War III? Even you were worried about Cold War 2.0 turning into Hot War 1.0 (which in turn would lead to Civilization 2.0).

No matter what, we're gonna have to deal with Russia like a rogue state now. I see the EU has finally built up enough courage to call for a complete embargo on Russian oil:

That's a BFD, given that the article mentions how 25% of Europe's oil comes from Russia.
“I think what should be clear now is that (the time) for half-sanctions or half-measures when it comes to sanctions is gone,” Kuleba said, arguing that the EU can no longer support Ukraine on one hand by imposing sanctions, while continuing to pay Russia for oil and gas and support their “war machine.”
Golly, it only took over two months to come to that conclusion. Better late than never, at least.
