Russia knows that when it comes to conducting a serious foreign and security policy, Europe is all mouth. Russia has pushed Europe around for years on energy issues, cutting bilateral deals with the bigger countries and opposing efforts to create a common European energy policy.
俄国人明白，当欧洲人要真正实行一项外交和安全政策时，他们只是在嘴上咋呼而已。俄罗斯历年来在能源问题上控制着欧洲，他们与欧洲大国谈判双边交易，并反对建立欧洲统一的能源政策。
