Europe's Uranium Vulnerability - Another Unintended Consequence of Sanctioning Russia
Europe has come to the sudden realization that it is highly susceptible to the cessation of the transmission of Russia's seemingly endless reserves of natural gas.

In March 2003 the decision was officially made in London to go to war.
