They weren't outright stopped, but there were attempts to drastically cut down on the purchases.
Tangentially related, since the sooner the conflict ends, the sooner the sanctions end. Seems like one of the only ways that happens is if Russia runs out of warm bodies to send to Ukraine.
Nuclear energy is a very good idea regarding production of energy with a very low impact on the environment. It can also help to avoid dependency on other countries for energy.
While true, it's better to have a centralized target than something like a big ass pipeline that you can sabotage. The threat of an international incident from hitting nuclear power plants imo is more discouraging of hapless bombings of civilian areas than pipes getting hit by crossfire or intentional crippling blows.
To be honest I don't see Russia or Germany gaining anything from this, so in any case I don't really think this would be an intentional act committed by any of those two countries. In the other hand I can see incompetence coming from any of those two parties, and from others too.
Yeah, the thing this war has shown is that so many sides in it are beyond fucking dumb, and I think that's the real tragedy in this. Millions of lives can easily and irreparably snuffed out for good purely because of the egos and moronic tendencies of tyrant leaders.
I don’t either but seems like everyone involved does have some vested interest in blaming someone else. Maybe it’s not the intention to go to war but there’s definitely an intention to avoid the possibility that it was human error or some non-malicious incident
With an incident like this no one is going to take responsibility for it anyways, even if forced to. This whole situation just pisses me off.
It’s tragic really. This will just be used for political gains and that will hide the truth if it’s ever found.
God I hope someone shoots Putin in the street for causing this.
You don't have to have a vested interest to not wanting to be caught in the act. It's an act of war no matter who did it and for whatever reason.
That’s true as well. I kind of more hope that it was an accident but know that it doesn’t matter
