I like how you sidestep my question.
My question is, do you want the alternative and do what Russia want just because they gave you low cost oil and gas?
Sure, let's not shut off Russia gas, and then what? Let Russia took Ukraine. What if Putin don't stop there? Then what will you do? Let them take the Baltic and Finland? Then what? Where does it ends?
You do know if you keep the current arrangement, then you are always going to be restricted by the "Cheap oil and gas" because Putin will threaten to cut you off if you don't do what he said. To keep the current situation is not only unfeasible, but borderline stupid, and I am sorry it come down to this before Europe realise it, that the shortsightness of Europe on putting Money before National Security is not a good idea and it's Europe own making, so the question is, as I asked before, do you want the alternative?? Or you want to quit now instead of in a more dire position 5 years or 10 years down the road??
Bear in mind Ukrainian is like Brothers to the Russian. where a lot of Ukrainian have relative in Russia and vice versa, and Putin would do this to its "brother", do you think he will go easy on the Brits or French??
