Every country scrambling to make sure their own interests are protected when it comes to Sanctions on Russia. Take Germany, although warned by Trump and I'm sure others within their own Government, they allowed themselves to become dependent on Russia for oil and Natural Gas (LNG) look below at chart 32% of LNG from Russia AND they let their storage capacity go down. So they don't want sanctions on Russian oil & gas. Worth noting we have had 25-40, 000 troops in Germany for decades to protect them from............Russia.

Then yesterday at a time when Poland is taking in an unprecedented amount of refugees nearly 1.5 million, the European Parliament a body that represents the EU member states and is largely very LIBERAL votes to BLOCK FUNDS FROM POLAND and HUNGARY for RULE OF LAW VIOLATORS. TO WITHHOLD FUNDS TO THOSE COUNTRIES WHO FAIL TO RESPECT THE RULE OF LAW>
Poland had to call on the body "to immediatley disburse COVID relief funds withheld by the Parliament" so they can deal with the refugee situation.
In the resolution adopted today – with 478 votes in favour and 155 against – the European Parliament welcomed the recent decision by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to reject an attempt by Poland and Hungary to prevent EU funds from being made conditional on respect for the rule of law.
The parliament declared that it was now “high time” for the European Commission to “react to the ongoing violations of the rule of law in some EU member states, which pose a danger to the European Union’s financial interests”.
It called on the commission to initiate use of the conditionality mechanism by notifying the concerned member states in writing. The measures should be applied to both the general EU budget and to the EU’s Covid recovery package, said the parliament.
Yesterday, the European Conservatives and Reformists – a group in which PiS is the dominant force – had tabled an amendment calling for the rule-of-law mechanism not to be applied due to the war in Ukraine and the pandemic. It also called for the EU to unblock Covid funds, which have been frozen for Poland over rule-of-law concerns.
After that amendment was rejected, its author, PiS MEP Bogdan Rzońca, said that “the left-liberal European Parliament has shown Putin that there is no solidarity within the EU and that he can harass and scare the countries that border Ukraine”, reports TVP Info
So the message to Russia is that the EU can not even get along. Please note CONSERVATIVES in the Parliament wanted all of this tabled due to the War but just like AMERICA the LEFT WING LOONS over there voted to sanction Poland and Hungary and holdback sorely needed funds.
Of course, they will now call America for more money.
I say, LET EUROPE PONY UP!!
They haven't learned a thing.
Factbox: How dependent is Germany on Russian gas?
Russia has warned it may shut off its main Nord Stream gas pipeline to Germany after Berlin halted approval of a second line across the Baltic Sea in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
