Personal Remarks
Putin is right on this one. Europe has no shortage of politicians, yet we still seem to take every possible wrong turn. From a geopolitical and geostrategic perspective, the consequences have been disastrous for Europe.
We have allowed Ukraine to strike Russian gas infrastructure that once supplied Europe — using weapons financed with EU taxpayers’ money. Even the Nord Stream pipelines were sabotaged and that should have been treated as a direct attack (act of war) on Europe’s energy security.
What I struggle to understand is how European politicians allowed this to pass without serious consequences or accountability. Sometimes it feels like more than simple incompetence. At times it even looks like deliberate sabotage.
I question whether leaders like Ursula von der Leyen are truly acting in the interests of European citizens.
Many people also argue that Europe has inherited the consequences of policies from the Biden administration and the broader US Democrat’s pro-cold war strategy toward Russia.
This is what I believe: the origins of the Russia–Ukraine conflict involves the gas pipelines that cross Ukraine. Ukraine diverted part of the gas transit (+/- 20%) and used it to build up their gas sector. Hunter Biden (son of previous US president) served on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
