I don't even know what you're referring to. I suppose by 'Energy weapon' you mean Russia leveraging out countries via oil? Sorry to burst your bubble bud, but that did and is happening, even with Norway's involvement. I haven't believed that Russia would simply roll through western Ukraine since NATO started sending them armaments.Let's not forget that ultimately, it isn't Ukraine fighting this war. It's NATO. NATO simply views Ukrainian lives as something to be exploited. Without the combined support of NATO yes, this war would have been finished in about 3 months. It would have been better for the entire world. NATO doesn't want negotiations. It's a bureaucracy composed of psychopathic, incestuous elites who have no qualms whatsoever about destroying the lives of its member citizens so long as they can make fuck you money in the process. The net loss of life would have been significantly less on both sides with negotiation. As it stands the death tally is horrific and mounting, and Russia is on track to complete its objectives anyway. It's not going to stop. Meanwhile Europe bleeds at the bowser and the checkout whilst Blackrock, Lockheed and the usual suspects rub their hands with glee.
It's amazing to me that you can't see what these forever wars are really about. You never ask cui bono.
