My theory: The U.S. provoked Russia to attack Ukraine because it wants to sell gas to Europe.
The Ukraine war happened, but Europe was not willing to buy expensive gas from the U.S.
The U.S blew up Nord stream 2 to force Europe’s hand to buy its gas.
US’s entire policy in Ukraine since leading up to the 2014 crisis has been to prevent Russian economic expansion and maintain EU dependence on US economy and keep it from slipping into Russian sphere.
This is the only way that US maintains its global hegemony. The Ukraine war is a symptom of that – a proxy in that battle. So it’s not so much that they wish to keep EU from moving away from supporting Ukraine as it is that they must keep their own economy afloat using EU as a buoy which necessitates that EU get its natural gas elsewhere – from US or Canada.
No one actually cares about Ukraine’s sovereignity. Ukrainians don’t matter to either side of this conflict – it’s just to prevent the competitor from rising up.
Its the oligarchs that Putin destroyed that regrouped in an attempt to gain back all they lost, but he will vanquish them and their proxies to kingdom come
But it opened a can of worms. When country ditches the dollar. Loses it foreign reserve currency. Inflation will tear that country apart.
Third world war is loading. Germany benefits alot from EU. EU will collapse Saa hii Hungary,Poland na Bulgaria wameanza kusumbua. Italy is next to give them a tough time. When that Union collapse country will put back it’s national interest first.
