Literally the only one who better at this besides Russia was the USA, cannibalizing European industry and exporting natural gas at exorbitant prices.
I'm beginning to wonder if that wasn't the US's goal with the sanctions all along? They were less concerned about "stopping Russia" and more concerned about making their European vassals more dependent on them.
why not both? stopping Russia from further ingratiating into the European supply chain and subsequently forcing them to rely on the US are two wings of the same bird to me
