#3 Russian oil and gas are out of the European market now (or soon will be as the deadline approaches). I am genuinely shocked that the Europeans went ahead with it. Especially the Germans who will take the brunt of the winter this year.

Russia gambled that Europe wouldn't put themselves into hardship if they tried to punish them for the war. That gamble has failed.

#4 Ever seen "Occupied"? It's a Norwegian TV series about the events after Norway declares they won't drill any more oil, but will mine, refine, and help build thorium reactors. The Russians take offense -- because they want to keep Europe addicted to hydrocarbons.

The US comes off as villains (of course), but the Russians come off even worse.
