Germany is nothing, i agree. Italy already is more dependant on Russian oil than Germany, France only marginally (as they rely quite a lot more on nuclear power). UK, Netherlands and Norway are "uncrackable" as they export themselves really.
And - which of course has to be said - certain German companies are at the forefront in this, some closely cooperating with Gazprom e.g. in Downstream operation, others themself exploiting oil/gas fields in Russia - a growing industry, despite Russian control attempts by tying them to Gazprom. Other European companies - BP, Shell - haven't even started on that yet.
