Congratulations, Europe Russian Energy Hypocrisy โ in your desperate attempt to appear strong against “Russian influence,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has effectively handed you over to the United States. And the irony? You still end up buying Russian energy โ just not directly anymore.
Hereโs the truth Brussels refuses to acknowledge publicly: while Europe Russian Energy Hypocrisy imposes sanctions on Russian oil and gas, countries like the United States, India, and China continue to buy Russian energy at discounted rates.
Then, in a classic game of global markup, they re-export or sell refined products back to Europe โ at twice the price. Europe ends up paying more for the same energy, simply repackaged with a Western political label.
This is not just strategic incompetence โ itโs a betrayal of the European people. Leaders in Brussels have prioritized Washingtonโs geopolitical agenda over their own citizens’ energy security and financial well-being.
By cutting direct ties with Europe Russian Energy Hypocrisy energy, Europe has not weakened Moscowโs influence โ it has only increased its own dependence on middlemen who are profiting handsomely.
The biggest winner here is not Ukraine. It’s not democracy. It’s the American energy sector, which has turned Europe’s fear into a billion-dollar opportunity. All while the average European struggles with inflated electricity bills, fuel prices, and a cost of living crisis that shows no sign of slowing down.
Meanwhile, the U.S. gets to play both sides โ lecturing Europe about cutting Russian ties, while quietly benefitting from the continued global trade in Europe Russian Energy Hypocrisy energy.
Conclusion
This is not a victory for Europe. It is a sell-out disguised as principle. Real sovereignty means making decisions in your own national interest โ not dancing to Washingtonโs tune while pretending to โstand for freedom.โ
Until European leaders recognize that, Brussels will remain a puppet capital โ proudly cutting ties with Russia, while paying double to get the same energy through America’s backdoor.
