That bill would impose tariffs of 500% on countries that imported Russian oil, Barrot said.
"Russia has found ways to circumvent the blockage imposed by Europe and the United States so closing the tap would grab Russia by the throat," he said.
Ladies and gentlemen, the euros still have it in them. If you ever doubted the comedic prowess of the intellectual titans of the 4rth reich, think again.
Beta Trump: "240% Tarrifs!"
Alpha EU: "500% Tarrifs!"
Sigma China/Russia: "did you hear something?"
"Russia has found ways to circumvent the blockage imposed by Europe and the United States
No man, people found ways to circumvent that blockage because your countries need Russian oil or your population will freeze to death.
Cutting off my nose to spite the convenience store owner who recommended a box of tissues
Wow Trump taught European neoliberals a new term called "tariff"
That bill would impose tariffs of 500% on countries that imported Russian oil
So EU would sanction basically every EU country?
I really hope they go through with this because the main countries importing oil from Russia China and India. Will EU really cut trade with both?
And aren't there still a number of EU countries that are buying Russian oil through proxies.
Because otherwise thousands of people freeze to death
But they'd be freezing for democracy and the rules based international order which would keep them warm.
oh yeah Russian oil is big business in EU
I can hear the EU American-loyalists like:
"We're not losing! We're not losing!"
Neolibs have only one solution to any given problem and refuse to consider other ones. Country doing something we don't like? Sanction. Budget not working out? Cut benefits. Fascism rising? Vote.
Try something else for ones nerds
good news, they were trying to normalize nuclear war!
Moscow in shambles, they really outdid themselves on this one. /s
sanction lever no work? no more iodeas sory
A strategy inspired by the battles of Isonzo.
Double secret sanctions!
