Today, the European Union contributed $1 billion toward Vladimir Putin’s war machine. Tomorrow, the EU will contribute another $1 billion to the Kremlin’s ongoing carnage of Ukrainian citizens. And $1 billion the next day too.
The payments will continue to pour into Russia until, we are assured, but hardly comforted, the EU cuts that amount by a third by the end of 2022. By the year 2030, just eight short years from now, the EU hopes to wean itself off of Russian energy sources.
By that date, if Europe has not ceded Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Georgia, Finland and other nations to Russia, Putin will finally be taught a lesson.
