I am not condoning this trade, but.

The Euros are in trouble regarding energy. They are refusing Russian gas. Germany has closed down their nuclear energy business in favor of windmills!!!! Other than Norway, Holland, England/Scotland there are few indigenous petroleum deposits. Europe is an energy desert and they have to get it from somewhere.

North America no longer needs to import foreign oil. If Saudi Arabia et al cease production, the price will go up, but we will have enough for ourselves. Europe and China are the ones who should be confronting IS.

And Russia has cut the supply to some EU countries. Besides, ISIS is selling at a discount. I don’t think there is any good reason to support terrorists.

What EU country is refusing Russian gas?

Maybe someday but it hasn't arrived yet. We still import more oil and refined product than we export.
