Umm… nope. The Europe is in crisis because many countries made poor decisions, relying in cheap energy when knowing the possible risks.

Relying on cheap energy from Russia is what allowed Europe to become economically successful. This was recognized even back during USSR times. The stupid decision was to create an enemy out of USSR and then Russia instead of seeking peaceful coexistence.

It has nothing to do with being “pawn” for US or some other propaganda you claim.

It has everything to do with being a pawn of the US, and volumes of literature have been written on the subject. US has dominated European policy since WW2. The fact that you think this is propaganda shows just how ignorant and intellectually impoverished you are.

The people are protesting because goverments made decisions to rely on Russia and didn’t left any other doors open.

People are protesting because their standard of living is collapsing due to Europe starting an economic war with Russia. That's a simple fact that propagandists like you continue to deny. You can keep on screeching all you like, but that won't change reality of the situation.

People surely are not protesting to get cheap Russian energy back. I

They literally are protesting to get cheap Russian energy back.

Europe has a lot of other choices. Someone are just wishing that bending the knee is the only option. It’s easy to see who those people are.

It does not. over 60% of Russian energy imports have no replacement. Anybody with even bare minimum understanding of how energy markets work knows this. You can keep spewing your nonsense here all you like, but by the time winter rolls around you'll have hard time convincing anyone with your bending the knee speeches. Might even get your ass kicked.
