I wonder if you mean UK or Germany (Reform or AfD, both are sponsored by extremely suspicious actors ... and Russia). But in either case you funded an adversary that wanted to attack you with oil money, Russia, to the tune of 20 billion euros per year (Germany) and 5 billion euros per year.

That's money that was used to attack Ukraine, and millions used to destabilize US and Western Europe.

> It's easy to poke fun at the US while downplaying our issues but in the long run, unwise.

But it's slightly cheaper too.
