Quote joke referencing Obi Wan Kenobi…
Spaniard
We all have a choice. To stand, not kneel. To oppose, not obey. To live, not just exist

An elegant port for a more civilized time
1·5 months agoFirst you doubt the claim. Then you attack the source, now you find excuses.
Did they or didn’t they increase almost 200% the acquisition of energy from Russia in 2023? Is the Russian Federation a major provider of gas and oil for Spain (and other European countries) or not?
If you notice I am here only to point the hypocrisy of Europe, which they undoubtedly are and Spain is no different.
I don’t know if you work for a company with business in Russia, I did when this whole thing started and contracts didn’t matter much when sanctions came but I guess we weren’t big enough to make excuses.
Attacking the source instead of disproving the article.
You have hands, you can sources of your favorite side of the political spectrum, or ask an LLM.
But here are morejust because it’s Saturday and I like the apple I am eating for breakfast and I am trying to make lemmy a better place than reddit: https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/5168224/0/espana-pais-ue-que-mas-gas-natural-compra-ahora-rusia/

Sure but they are in Spanish. Murcia today is for the local brit community.

The same stuff over 200% increase in 2023 so others can say we dont buy stuff to Russia we buy it to Spain (who bought it to Russia). This source even points out the liquid gas that arrived by boat from Russia wasn’t sanctioned.
As we say in Spain “hecha la ley, hecha la trampa”
Says it decrease 25%, but it’s 25% from that almost 200% in 2023.
The European Union hypocrisy is lovely, ain’t it?
As they article points out it’s all maskerading by the fact that they heavily increased the import in 2023 and now is “reduced”
Are they democracies? No. Do they respect human rights? Also no.
I don’t care as much about them as I care about pointing out the hypocrisy of my people. I have a thing against islam but that has nothing to do with this conversation.
The European Union regulates the market so much it’s hard to call it capitalism, the biggest european companies are basically EU projects like Airbus (every government funds it) or too big too fail like Siemens and/or they would use: “strategic industry” and be done with it.
Edit oh and I almost forgot it, or they are like Inditex, basically not European it’s just an European getting rich while exploiting poor people all around the world, but I think this is actually capitalism and that guy isn’t exactly appreciated by ruling dictator, I mean party, in Spain.
I don’t know about the whole Europe but Spain is buying more energy from Russia than before the war and sanctions.
Don’t get me wrong, I hope that would be the case but Europe is also Corporativist.
Other countries like that and Europe deals with are: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia and of course, China.
I am a debian person but when I tried EndeavourOS i relegated debian to my homeservers only.
Almost 1 year in EndeavourOS, I fucked it up once and was very easy to recover.

Piss on carpet.
Why end? I think it’s a great way to start a conversation.
Poop on the celling.
Thunderbird already works.
You boycot american products because you think you are american.
I don’t because America is a continent not a single country.
“Starting over” is how we learnt Windows in the 90’s too
I know hot plug is a path to many abilities some considering to be unnatural!
