So what do you think? Is Europe serious about damaging their standard of living or are they just bluffing and virtue signaling?
Maybe we shouldn't be so shocked about millions of people unnecessarily hurting their own standard of living. Look at all the centuries they turned over land and wealth to established churches. And the 20 years of slaughter during the Napoleonic era. And the world wars in the 20th century.
Of course the current mutual suicide pact seems to be based on such a lame excuse. Really now, 'democracy', the sovereignty of Ukraine, etc.?!
Is there something about the European peasant that makes them naive about -- and blindly obedient toward -- their own elites?
At any rate the people who should be happiest about the current suicide are the Environmental Elites. It won't be long before the European peasants start losing interest in Ukraine. But by then, a good test run has been done on them. The precedent has been set. They will be ready for a lower standard of living from the Climate Crisis Lockdown. And that is an eternal issue as was Salvation and Damnation during the Christian era.
If that transition is done smoothly and skillfully, the peasant masses won't even know exactly when it happened or who is responsible for it.

But, even more I admire your courage to include a painting by a RUSSIAN artist. With 'sanction everything Russian' being obligatory you have thumbed your nose rather than yield to virtue signaling pressures. I might add that the painting selected was perfect for the posting.
