Good - it was dumb to take a dependence on them anyway.

More generally, we should be looking to eliminate technological dependence on autocratic countries across the board (China, Russia, et al).

A good way to lower possibility of conflicts is to deepen interdependencies between countries. This is how EU works, for example.

Loose ties on the other hand lower the barrier for countries to initiate a war.

This conflict would have been simpler if the EU wasn't dependent on Russian Gas.
