The reason why Russia is able to continue the war against Ukraine is not that Trump is a Russian spy, as leftist prattlers think. And it’s not that Ukraine doesn’t want peace, as their rightist counterparts believe.
The real reason is that Russia’s warmongering has been aggressively and consistently funded by the EU. Europe has been buying enormous quantities of Russian oil and natural gas while sending large yet still smaller quantities to help Ukraine. So basically, the EU has been funding both sides of the largest European war in decades. Nobody is conspiring to make that happen on purpose. It’s simply what the EU is like.
Well, it looks like Trump finally found a way to have the EU buy US oil instead of the Russian. That the war was allowed to go for 3,5 years without anybody doing this shocks every sensibility.
By the way, in the early stages of the war, the EU did try to end its dependency on Russian natural gas and begged Canada to sell theirs to Europe. Trudeau said “there’s no business case for it” because he was suddenly very into business. The EU had to go back to Russia for its energy needs, and the war continued.
Later, Mike Johnson begged Biden to let US producers to sell oil to the EU. Biden refused. The EU had to go back to Russia for its energy needs, and the war. . . yes, it continued. So let’s not blame the EU alone for this. Europeans spent years trying to solve the problem, and nobody wanted to assist them.
This is truly a great achievement for Trump and an excellent deal for both the US and the EU. Very impressive.
