    You’ve made a massive rhetorical blunder here, friend.

    Your comment here in context clearly means “Europe shouldn’t buy heating fuel from America, just like it shouldn’t buy from Russia”. But 6 hours ago, here, you said the opposite, that if Europe must buy fuel (and indeed it must, I hope we all agree), then they should get it from America in preference to Russia

    Edit: oh, actually, what might have happened is that you changed your mind in the intervening upon learning new information! That is admirable and I withdraw my comment if it’s the case. (Although from a rhetoric standpoint, mentioning you’ve changed your opinion would probably be a good idea)
