“help us”
They are the ones who need help.
The US can be energy independent and can afford to let the middle east go to hell.
But the Europeans have a problem. The Russians want control of the natural resources so tbey can blackmail the europeans into a accepting their incursions into the Ukraine, etc.
“But the Europeans have a problem.”
That’s for sure. The Europeans are sitting on a 400 year supply of coal, while Britain has a minimum 100 year supply of gas under its feet, energy that can be extracted with today’s fraking technology. However, the Europeans have been so brainwashed with the global warming propaganda that they are paralyzed in fear about extracting those energy resources.
