Meanwhile Putin has Europe by the balls as he extends Russia's natural gas network west through France. France and Germany have been shutting down nuclear plants and ceding energy independence to a hostile foreign power.

They'll do nothing. They have hundreds of billions of dollars worth of LNG infrastructure built to funnel natural gas from the arctic and Siberia throughout all of Europe.
