Europe never learned a thing from WWII.  Again!  They were done in by Russia, from allowing them to invest too much. Compare it with the US. They knew better than to get financially involved that much with Russia. That's why their sanctions were able to be more stringent than those from Europe.

A good example which Europe should follow is, when China wanted to buy Unocal Oil. The US refused. If the US would've, they would be in the same position as Europe is currently in with Gazprom. You live and you learn. Europe doesn't.

This is a great way for the Kremlin to build their supposed empire they want to build. Then it will be Hungary, Italy and who knows what else. Almost a repeat of the past. Blame it on the US? That's a laugh.

Bottom line, European leaders and the EU, just a big joke. Nuff said?
