    Europe’s leaders have forgotten the lessons learned by French and Russian monarchs. I mean, the virtue-signalling sanctions against Russia were bad enough but at least they could source gas through China or from the US. If they sanction China, there’s nowhere else with the production capacity to replace what will be lost. Maybe we’re watching a live show of state-Darwinism, where Europe accidentally degrowths itself out of existence and saves the world from climate change.

      Europe has already had to buy Russian oil from India, because sanctions kept them from buying it directly. All they’re doing is making fools of themselves by following orders from the US and imposing sanctions.
