Sure you could say that Europe’s own domestic energy policies contributed to the situation, but that doesn’t excuse the US blowing up a gas pipeline that leaves them in a seriously vulnerable position. That is normally something you would consider an act of war, not the action of a “friendly” nation.
Now of course the US is forced to lie about it, but it’s unlikely those Euro countries will believe such a flimsy lie. It was strictly a self serving action by the US, intentionally severing their ability to access cheap energy from Russia and forcing them to become dependent on the much more expensive LNG from the US.
“Contributed to”??? Their Gaia worship CREATED this vulnerability. It would never exist but for the idiotic Gaia Worship that left them with no viable alternative. Of course, they could fix this problem in the long term anytime they wanted to. They just need to get serious and do the things they know from past experience actually work.
Besides....wasn’t the pipeline not pumping any gas anymore anyway?
You want to talk about “friendly” nations? How “friendly” is it to freeload off of another country for generations to provide for your defense even though you’ve long since had the money to provide for your own defense?
How “friendly” is it to buy energy from the very country you say you need to be protected from militarily - rather than buying your energy from allies?
How “friendly” is it to go around the world seeking to undermine the foreign policy of an ally for your own financial benefit (Iran, Saddam, Cuba, etc etc)?
How “friendly” is it to seek to unite Europe under your own hegemony by means of demonizing another country that is supposedly your ally and which has been providing for your defense for generations - not to mention a country which allowed grossly unequal trade terms to help you rebuild your economy after a world war you started and lost?
By the way, European countries don’t “have to” become dependent on US LNG. They can frack and drill their own oil and gas. They can mine their own coal. They can build nuclear power plants. They just have to stop destroying their economies and their security and their people’s standard of living in order to worship Gaia.
