Embargo Better

"You know how I'm always trying to save the planet? Here's my chance."
--David Levinson (Independence Day)

Intuitive thesis about the real reason behind the EU/NATO drive to embargo Russian oil. Build Back Better zealots will stop at nothing to reduce fossil fuel production and (especially) consumption. Regulation has morphed into more extreme measures such as pandemic lockdowns and even war--perhaps of the nuclear variety.

The Russian oil embargo fits right in. Heck, if these folks could enact a law that banned all fossil fuel tomorrow, they would surely do it.

It doesn't matter how many people are destroyed in the process. In the eyes of the BBB crowd, it's all in the interest of the greater good.
