Please explain to me the logic of EU sabotaging its own economy in response to the war in Ukraine. The sanctions have had pretty much no effect on Russia. In Particular, Russia is making record profit from energy sales right now.

The only country that benefits from Eurozone collapsing economically is the US. Much of European industry is already moving to US, there's a capital flight from Europe to US, and Europe is now dependent on expensive LNG coming from US. The only thing this fiasco achieved was to turn Europe into a vassal state of the US.

So, you believe we're not stupid enough to crash our economy on our own, but are stupid enough to let the US convince us?

I believe that without pressure from US, Europe would've made better choices.
