This entitled attitude is at the root of Europe’s issues. No other society is obligated to give the West any oil or gas. Maybe it’s a good idea to treat trade partners with respect?(especially if they deliver essential resources)
Even if you generate all your electricity from renewables, you still need natural gas for non-electricity uses like fertilizer or chemical manufacturing.
Sure, but creating the infrastructure to tap into these energy sources takes a long term commitment, and a lot of energy. Europe is clearly isn’t capable of committing to such a project, and now it lacks the energy needed to do so.

Sorry, but i have no respect for dictators and murderers, even if they sell oil and gas to us.

Then go find someone else to sell you gas.
I dont need to respect people to buy from them.
Thats the simple problem. Most of the countries which have what we need are run by assholes.
Well we should just stop using gas anyway, no? Why are we continuing with this insanity when the world is literally burning?

Maybe because a high amount of people are heating their flats using gas and it is not possible to change that short term.
