Western Europe has been dependent on Eastern Europe's resources for a very long time, as Siberia is [..]

But Siberia is not Eastern Europe, is it? It lies fully in the Asian part of Russia. Why are you labelling this an East/West thing?

I'm not labeling it as an East/West thing, the comment I replied to did, I replied in their context.

In practicality it's not an "East/West" thing as Eurasia is one continental mass, the colloquial distinction between Europe and Asia isn't one based on geography, but mostly politics.

That why "It's not in Europe but Asia" might be an interesting technicality, but doesn't change the geographic proximity, or how we are very much still talking about Russia.
