Yea I get that they can't cold turkey overnight and are still going to be lining up to buy Russian gas transiting through Ukraine tomorrow. German's had 8 years to prepare for this day and didn't just do nothing, they made themselves more reliant on Russian gas in that time. Its stupid to just call it a drastic measure.
