What Imperial will if you dont mind asking? That they stoped buying gas from country that attacked europe and tries to overthrow democracy in other EU countries? Their delusion was in turning off nuclear... and it was exactly what russia wanted. By funding anti nuclear protests in EU, and selling more and more gas to make Europe attached. So when Russia does something bad, it is harder to sanction them. What happend in Germany is real political failure in seeing this, maybe even treason.
