Yes, it is, in my morality. You are not the arbiter of morality.
There’s a reason why, in regular civilian law, someone who takes out a hit is viewed as equally culpable as the actual hitman.
Also Russia gets its money from selling gas to the EU, right? And the EU would freeze without Russian gas? It’s a bad situation but not equivalent to US dumping money into the fake Zionazi state solely for their shared imperial aims.
EU gets something like 5 % of its gas from the Russia.
It used to get about two thirds, but that was changed during 2022 and 2023, and now our gas comes from other sources by ships.
But there’s still much oil that we either allow to pass through our waters on ships that are not in the condition to traverse them legally, or by outright buying the oil through some intermediaries.
And then there are a lot of companies that merrily operate in the Russia. First two companies to come to my mind that have expanded their activities in the Russia when other companies left it, are Pepsi and Nestlé, and while neither of those is from the EU, they are good examples of what is going on. The billions that Pepsi alone pays in taxes in the Russia are extremely necessary for the Russian war effort.
And in one thing you are wrong: A murderman’s landlord does not get the same punishment as the murderman, even if he has had a strong hunch that his tenant might be up to no good.
Pepsi has oddly had ties to Russia forever, and as a result, briefly had the world’s six-largest Navy. Mostly obsolete shit-ships that were sold for scrap, so “superpower” in the headline is misleading, but “6th largest maritime fleet at the time” is accurate.
Anyway, capitalism is evil and major corporations are evil, and their CEOs and chief stakeholders should be tried for crimes against humanity in many cases. You’ll find no argument from me there.
But EU businesses (none of which you were even able to name as chief contributors) doing business with Russia does not seem remotely equivalent to the actual government of the United States providing weapons, logistical support, and in some cases, boots-on-the-ground for the Zionazi entity’s holocaust against Palestine.
For the reference, I’m American, I have no vested interest in arguing in defense of Europe lol. It’s just what I see as the truth.

Good thing that’s a completely inapplicable analogy then. A landlord doesn’t usually pay their tenant’s rent, and self-defense budget, and healthcare bills, and…
Israel is not America’s tenant, it is America’s child. Or if you prefer, a metastasized cancer from the same malignant source: white supremacy, colonialism, and capitalism.
Anyway, even if you somehow refuse to condemn the American Empire for their clear complicity in Pissrael’s ongoing genocide, America itself was founded on genocide on a scale greater than most other genocides being named here. And they still profit from it, and still have not paid reparations for it, and still have the remaining descendants of the victims largely living in poor conditions.
The Russia’s money still comes mainly from EU. Funding a genocider is not equal with committing a genocide.

On that note, add Belgium to the list too.
