The second the war ends Europeans will go back to buying Russian gas and shit.

It will be so embarrassing for liberals

They've invested everything on the cope Ukraine will win

I think Europe has gone to far down the war rabbit hole to buy directly from Russia agai . I maybe wrong, but Europe is gearing up for a new world war.

Europeans have viewed Russians as worse than the Nazis since Soviet soldiers took Berlin.

They still bought billions in Russian gas before the war

The European population will not notice or care, and the EU will never actually go to war against Russia.

Was russiophobia really that common pre euromaidan? I don't remember it that way.

It's in the background radiation of western political discourse for probably several centuries (especially the last one), but it has definitely gotten worse over the last few years. It's obviously just an extension of the European fear of "barbarians" (AKA the disgusting racism and xenophobia which justifies their constant genocides), which has been there for as long as Europe.
