Russian ‘babushka’ is the real threat, not fossil fuels?

You can find hundreds of cases online detailing how the EU continues to work with Russia and indirectly supports the war.

The hypocrisy of Europe’s sanctions is staggering.

I work in Finland, I’m learning the language, and the tax amount I pay yearly is close to the average salary here. I have never encountered any legal issues, deeply appreciate the country, and have never claimed a single cent from Kela’s unemployment allowance.

Yet, if I were to lose my job, the new government regulations would require me to leave Finland within 3 months. Additionally, starting today, my parents cannot visit me by car.

Russian propaganda consistently portrays the EU as an enemy — and I believe there was probably a celebration in the Kremlin following these new restrictions. No one aids the Kremlin as much as the EU does.

On the other hand, EU narratives often suggest that all Russians are enemies, while still engaging in trade with Russia worth billions of euros.

How do you feel about this?
