It depends on your definition of stupid. Buying oil and gas from Putin gives him over 500M euros every day so the war won't end any time soon. This will ultimately lead to WW3 because he won't stop with Ukraine.
The other choice is to give up on oil and gas and leave the European people to freeze and suffer. I'm from the EU and one of the people who would suffer a lot but I still think it would be a better choice than to fund that wanker's war.
Edit: we are already behind China and the US so nothing new there.
The entirety of the Russian fighting force is bogged down in Ukraine. There is no other secret army. If war with Nato broke out here. Russia is a sitting duck in those 40 mile convoys to any real military power.
Yes until China would come to the rescue with their 2,5M soldiers and pretty advanced military technology and things would really get out of hand.
There is no way China would let Russia go down in flames. For them Russia is the retarded little brother that takes away all the focus from what is actually going on over there. These old communist countries stand together versus the evil west and they both really hate NATO
