EU officials slam Biden administration for ‘profiting’ off Ukraine war
NY POST ^ | 11/26/22 | Jacob Geanous

A collection of high-ranking European officials are fed up with the Biden administration for what they view as war profiteering during the conflict in Ukraine.

The comments come amid rising gas prices and mounting tension toward US legislation that offers tax credits to those who “Buy American.”

Meanwhile, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is pushing European economies toward recession while the US is benefitting, some officials claim.

“The fact is, if you look at it soberly, the country that is most profiting from this war is the US because they are selling more gas and at higher prices, and because they are selling more weapons,” one senior EU official told POLITICO.

The European Union has turned to the US for gas to reduce reliance on Russian fuel — but the price the EU is paying is reportedly four times higher than what Americans are shelling out for the same product.

You kiss up to Brandon and this is what you get.

You knew this would happen but now that the suffering is beginning over there and the mid-terms are over here in the USA you feel free to take shots at Biden.

You got yourselves to where you are and you choose to pass the buck.

How quaint. As if that hasn’t been 90% of the motive all along. Profit, everybody gets a cut but the bleeding boys.

Yeah, sure. All that aid money and all those weapons being sent to Ukraine is doing wonders for the US economy. Gasoline was down 6¢ last month.

No country is benefiting from this war, other than China. Certain people are profiting most handsomely.

Nine months after invading Ukraine, Vladimir Putin is beginning to fracture the West.

European officials are furious with the US administration, accusing Americans of making a fortune from the war while EU countries suffer.

Don’t worry Putin will be dead soon and the fracturing will stop once that happens. I’m surprised he’s lived this long considering here on FR we get daily reports of his ailments and how he’s on death’s door

But I thought only republicans profit from war?
At least that's what we've been told repeatedly since Vietnam!

“Don’t worry Putin will be dead soon and the fracturing will stop once that happens.”

Reading tea leaves?
Reading entrails?
Throwing dice?

Get in line, you idiots been predicting Putin’s death, demise, etc. for the last 8 plus months. And yet you persist in your wet dream fantasies. Go figure.

The only good thing about this war is that the US is making bank on it!

We have nice high LNG export prices to make up for the Russian gas we cut off, and with all of these ‘sanctions’ on Russia, Europe can barely run their factories, and their energy-hogging industries will likely never recover (unless we let Europe fix the gas pipelines that magically blew up, wink-wink, nod-non). And so those industries will be relocating, with some going to China (like BASF), but some coming to the US.

...and that doesn’t even begin to get into the bonanza for US defense contractors! Nice job, President Biden!

Is the EU just now finding out the true nature of the American war machine?
