  It Depends©. It's possible that Russian oil was always the better short term option despite being the worse long term option, and this will kick short term profit focused corporations into actually making the better long term move.
context: Pity South Africa  is still arse creeping putin and by buying Russian oil,,,  we are supporting the massacre of the Ukrainians  and Putins war crimes >
  
  South Africa isn't a rich nation. I don't expect much from them.
  What Russia needs to be classified as is "state sponsor of terror" where nobody in the west can do business with them. And anybody else who does business with them, is cut off from the west.
  I know this is a last resort, but Russia is getting awfully close to having that hand played against them >
  
  Gotta give countries time to wean off the Russian tit and find alternative sources of energy >
  
  Wouldn't that increase prices for Europe?
