I agree, and what they do not seem to understand is that threatening countries with energy and cutting it off simply means those countries will never put themselves into that situation again, so when this sh*tstorm eventually blows over and sanctions ease, their chances of resuming those energy sales that prop up their economy will have gone.
Yes they can flog it to the likes of China and India, but no longer being able to play the price structure off against the likes of Europe to get the best price means those remaining markets may say will pay this or go elsewhere.
