Why doesn't France just buy them directly from Russia?Is it because Russia bans LGBTQ+ ?
>>544604810it's because Russia is not democratic
Ok you can have oil but you have to take in more refugees
>>544604810Because European elites hate Putin and russia. Don't ask why ,I dunno. I have never met a brit that hated Russia or Putin. Also gulf can't get oil passed Iran so macron is shit out of luck. and he won't beg Putin for oil, he would rather see French die from cold
>>544604810They aren't ready to cross that bridge yet. Not until everyone has abandoned Ukraine and a symbolic victory for Ukraine has been established. After a few years there will probably be some bullshit token cooperative effort between Ukraine and Russia for energy and Europe will buy from Russia again. Going through the middle east is the most politically neutral option they have.
>>544604919This is hilarious, Russia just held elections and unelected Zelensky continues to refuse to do so.

Why buy, when you can just take in a couple of years.
