Quoting Obama about foreign policy is, um...well, hello Jack! Obama's view was those of isolationists before and in the early stages of World War II. Isolationism is back! Who says Obama isn't MAGA in his own way ;)

For me it's pretty simple. Europe wants to pay 'X' for Russian natural resources and Russia wants 'Y'. To me your argument is that Europe should pay 'Y'. Maybe they should. Beats me! It's up to you how much you want to pay for your gas over there ;)
