Europe has committed suicide. It has permanently weakened itself.

Huge amount of European industry will be moved to the USA

“Selling more weapons “? Just who is paying for them?

The biggest point of tension in recent weeks has been Biden’s green subsidies and taxes that Brussels says unfairly tilt trade away from the EU and threaten to destroy European industries. Despite formal objections from Europe, Washington has so far shown no sign of backing down.

I'm all for ending that yesterday.

They’re going to think long and hard about who destroyed those pipelines, who is shelling a nuclear powerplant, who is executing prisoners, who interferes with diplomacy, who put them up to it.

And who their real enemy is.

Guess the Euros are learning the hard way about how “ten percent for the big guy” works. Sorry, little sympathy. They all hated Trump, so they got what they wanted.

Why are the Europeans surprised? Since WW II America’s business is war and business has rarely been this good.

US is not making huge money from the Ukraine war. The weapons are being given away and a huge amount of money also to pay for the weapons and keeping Zelinsky fed. The money being made is US politicians who are getting kicked back a significant percentage of what is given away by those politicians and their influence on American government.

US weapons and money ==> Ukraine government
Ukraine money ==> US politicians (-10% for Big Guy)

European politicians are jealous of US politicians in how they get their kickbacks.

Ministers and diplomats based elsewhere in the bloc voiced frustration at the way Biden’s government simply ignores the impact of its domestic economic policies on European allies.

Started here first.

Biden’s government simply ignores the impact of its domestic economic policies on Americans. Biden screwed us over first.

Amazing how fast the MIC found another 50-billion-plus-per-year money fountain, exactly right after the Afghanistan money fountain was turned off.

See 13. That Mauldin cartoon is most of a century old. Nothing has changed. Eisenhauer spoke the truth.

The process of liquefying natural gas, shipping it, then regassifying it is costly....much costlier than sending natural gas through pipelines.

Of course, the Europeans were warned over and over and over again by American administrations going back to the 80s about the danger of allowing themselves to become too dependent on Russia for their energy needs. They just laughed. Well, they’re not laughing now.

“..Europe accuses US of profiting from war..”

Definitely not the US taxpayer - Americans are suffering greatly from high inflation and in other ways from this Biden caused war. Yes, military equipment manufactures are profiting, energy companies with higher pricing on reduced amounts are profiting, but the citizens are paying a terrible cost thanks to the no-good, no-count democrats and their lousy policies and wars.

I agree. We just foot the bill for war and for illegal invaders and every other Democrat agenda.

“Huge amount of European industry will be moved to the US”

The globalist plan is NOT to send business to the U.S. Our business and financial oligarchs don’t want that. We’re slated to become the third world.
