Russia has vast oil and gas reserves as well as strategic metals which is seen as a threat to the US, both because it can finance their military but primarily there is the fear that Europe will soon become energy dependent on them and therefore less inclined to side with US interests in the future. Ukraine is being used as a pawn in this gambit to perpetuate antagonism between Russia and Europe so they stay at arms length and never get too cozy with them economically.
And President Retard purposely harmed US energy production resulting in world wide price increases in oil to fuel the Russian’s money train 🤪
