In an astonishing display of European folly and stupidity, the EU has hit a new peak of idiocy by importing a staggering 837,300 metric tons of Russian LNG in just the first 15 days of 2025. This comes despite the EU's loud, empty threats to cut energy ties with Russia after the Nord Stream 2 fiasco and the broader geopolitical chess game.

The end of the Ukraine gas transit deal has only deepened Europe's dependency on Russian seaborne LNG, with countries like Slovakia and Hungary now leading the charge in this embarrassing reliance.

The reasons behind this self-inflicted energy crisis are laughably predictable: a cold snap, lackluster wind power, and the EU's own damn long-term contracts. These elements have ensured that Russian gas keeps flowing, not just keeping Europe warm but also pouring billions into Moscow's coffers.

This scenario paints a picture of European policy as nothing short of a circus of contradictions, where bold declarations of independence are quickly overshadowed by the reality of dependency, highlighting a policy so foolish it borders on self-sabotage.
