      So does India and so does the EU itself?

      (In 2024, EU countries collectively purchased approximately $25.5 billion worth of Russian fossil fuels.)

      Well, could is the word of the union. Could this and could that. We haven’t done shit to end the war. We walked nicely on the American leash until it was no longer Mr Nice Guy Biden in the White House and now we’re grasping in complete darkness. Half the union doesn’t want to lift a finger for Ukraine, if it’s out of their pocket, and the other half are too scared to do anything.

      People always say that the solution is more EU, we need a federal EU, that will solve it all. Really? We always have a roadblock or two in the union to make sure we can’t do anything meaningful. That roadblock is called Hungary. Federalizing this piece of crap means we bake that Hungary shaped feature into the union and make sure we can never accomplish a single thing.

      It’s time to grow up and be nation states that can do things on their own and take some fucking initiative instead of waiting for Trump or the EU or Walt Disney to do something first. Because nobody else is going to do it for us.

      Hahaha who is the EU to dictate to China. That is a thing of the past. The EU has long since lost its place as an economic leader. As has America.

      At this point its just embarrassing to read, really. I get that the EU strongly despise the fact that countries still continue to trade with Russia – but who do these people think they are?

      China is a primary source for laptops, cell phones, LEDs, circuit boards, ***98%*** of rare earths and magnets [[1](https://pie.net.pl/en/98-of-eu-demand-for-rare-earth-elements-is-met-by-china/)], magnesium (used for light weight metal alloys, e.g. in cars) and more than half of all antibiotics and painkillers. If the EU goes through with this they should ask themselves where else we are supposed to source these things from or how they plan to build up these production lines quickly in Europe, because without them, the economy and health care systems will be in huge trouble.

      And if they were serious, they should have started building these supply capacities BEFORE talking about sanctioning China.

      Did someone told them that we still buy russian energy trough various proxies and Russia itself? And i don’t really understand why China would give a fuck about Ukraine. Europe needs to grow some balls, instead of sanctioning the whole world for things we do ourselves let’s start fight Putin seriously, instead i only see stupid declarations, and spineless attempts of posturing like ”we will send troops but only if conditions X, Y, C, B are met”, meanwhile Ukraine keeps getting attacked by Russia.

      Nice to see Europe have some backbones for once. If only it is consistent and principled, and doesn’t just selectively show backbone to some and be spineless to others.

      The worst characteristic of Europe is that how tough it treats others very much depend on how safe it feels from the retaliation. The Chinese are civilized and can be reasoned with, so Europe has always been consistently VERY tough on China, taking every restraint as weakness and every retaliation as aggression. Trump is mad and malicious, so Europe is all too eager to submit, please, and placate him for fear of another tantrum. Despite styling itself as some kind of highly cultured civilization, Europe as a whole has not even wean off the basest form of subhuman instinct (i.e might makes rights).

      Doubt US and EU will take any action against China !!
      If they wanted to take any actions they would have taken it already, instead US Targetted India for domestic politics.

      What did US achieve by this ? Neither they succeeded in achieving any trade deal , neither they were able to stop them from purchasing oil from Russia .

      America already got humiliated by China when US had to lower the tarrifs from 200% to 30% when China retaliated .

      Nobody in US is talking about Russia China Oil and Gas deal which is the biggest ever in the world. And on top of that they have ditched the Dollar for the deal .

      Fuck off with the whole sanction bullshit already.
      China isn’t your bitch, and they can buy from whoever they want.

      Good luck with that!

      I only read the headline to be fair, but if this is what they are even thinking, then the level of delusion is insane.

      Oh! The EU is going to impose sanctions on its own citizens! Higher cost of living!

      Maybe sanctioning everyone and their mother isn’t the best strategy. You can sanction weak countries but not strong ones and definitely not everyone. That’s just asking for isolation. The Europeans also didn’t behave better than them in regards of international law.

      I am angry at the Europeans for many things but I will give you this advice.

      We should just admit that our international order has failed. We need a new beginning. Maybe a world government (world federalism) ith world army and world courts can finally make sure those laws can work?

      Trying something different for a change.

      There is plenty of evidence that sanctions do not really work in the modern age. Too many built in loopholes for profiteers while the average person suffers.
