Lmao why would anyone be willing to commit economic suicide by not buying Russian energy? That would be 100% retarded (yes just like the EU)
Because the money we send to Russia to pay for it is used in ways that end up costing us more money than we save by not buying the gas somewhere else.
Even if you are ok with overt acts of aggression, the economic argument is not hard to make.
