Use of energy as a weapon would not work if an independent supplier Yukos existed. Any attempts by Gazprom to blackmail Eastern Europeans would be suicide in that situation.

Maybe Israel would be founded a few years later in that case, but it would be founded as the colonial system collapses. You only find defenders if you fight for yourself, and the only way a nation can fight for itself is having a state.
