They’re not even going to stop buying Russian gas & oil lol.
They can’t, the economy would drop into a sinkhole.
It’s been kind of hilarious to watch Europeans talk smack and their leaders pretend how Europe is now independent from Russia, while the only thing that allows European economy to continue to hobble along is buying Russia energy at a markup through third parties.
The US has already demonstrated, by seizing Russian central bank assets denominated in USD, that the USD isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on and can’t be trusted further than you can throw it.
The Euro is already getting hit hard by the growing trade and balance of payments deficit with regards to the USD, showing the world the Euro isn’t a safe and trustworthy currency by unilaterally seizing the assets of a sovereign central bank would only make the problem worse and add longer term consequences.
