The House Foreign Affairs subcommittee chair invoked nearly $200 billion in U.S. support as attacks around Kazakhstan’s principal oil-export route forced production cuts and sharpened questions about Europe’s response.
Representative Bill Huizenga has warned that further strikes affecting the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal will not be tolerated, explicitly linking Ukraine’s obligation to protect legitimate allied energy exports with the scale of American support for Kyiv.
Huizenga, a Michigan Republican who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on South and Central Asia, was asked by The Times of Central Asia what immediate diplomatic steps the administration should take to safeguard Kazakhstan’s principal oil-export route and civilian vessels carrying its crude.
He responded:
“The Administration must be clear with the Ukrainians: Targeting the CPC Terminal poses a risk not only to civilians, but also to US interests. Ukraine has an obligation to steer clear of any legitimate allied energy exports and infrastructure that contributes to global energy security and economic stability. The generosity of the American people, nearly $200 billion in direct support to the Government of Ukraine, is not charity. Further strikes will not be tolerated.”
Huizenga was warning that U.S. support for Ukraine is not unconditional. By linking American aid to Ukraine’s duty to avoid striking allied energy infrastructure, he signaled that further attacks on vital facilities like the CPC terminal could put that support at risk....

“Huizenga, a Michigan Republican ... “
An endangered species.
Ukraine allowed Russian gas to be piped across their country, which aided the Russian war against them. This was so that the countries buying the gas would have time to transition to other sources. For the most part they did nothing as the Russian gas was cheaper...kept so for political reasons. When the contract ran out, Ukraine cut the pipe. This is what they told everyone they would do. Ukraine has been extraordinarily helpful at great cost to themselves. The problem with the Kazak pipeline exports is if Ukraine allows them, the Russians will piggyback on that and ship their own stuff. Ukraine has found a pressure point that could collapse the Russian war effort. Who can blame them for pressing it as hard as they can?
On the other hand, if all American support to Ukraine is cut then the Europeans will be forced to make up for it. While this is a good thing for all parties, the Europeans don’t have the necessary production capacity. They’re trying to build capacity rather than buy from, say, Korea. “Hey, we want to keep this money in our economy.” The Europeans have some hard choices to make.
Thanks. Your explanation makes a lot more sense than what’s contained in this article, at least as much of it as I read.
“More news our MSM will not report.”
I remember again where you posted news that the MSM wouldn’t print.
