Yep. I'm seeing almost exactly what you see, regarding Germany also.
I say that Russia would not have invaded in this case because the invasion would have only caused the EU to drop all Russian energy imports
My only argument with your assessment is that I can't so casually separate "annexing" 2014 Crimea from "invading" 2022 Kharkiv. Both are invasions into the same nation by the same other nation. Only difference is the more recent one met resistance.
