Yes. Who could possibly have foreseen that announcing you're stopping imports of gas from Europe's biggest supplier, in the run up to winter, might lead to... er... a shortage of gas supplies.No-one in the corridors of power in the EU or UK, apparently.
The whole conflict is just the other party calling bluff. But both the West and Russia have invested so much neither is going to settle. So they up the stakes and get dragged downwards. The only thing left is to complain that “it’s unfair the the US is profiting”.
But we need electricity and industry.
