The EU has accused the US of profiteering from the Ukraine war by selling guns and gas at ramped up prices.
Several high-ranking officials within the Bloc accused Joe Biden of capitalizing on the brutal Russian invasion by marking up the cost to import the vital products.
One senior official told Politico they believe America was standing to gain the most from the continuation of the fighting, nine months after soldiers first invaded.
'The fact is, if you look at it soberly, the country that is most profiting from this war is the U.S. because they are selling more gas and at higher prices, and because they are selling more weapons,

How else do you expect the big guy to make his 10%? That $400,000 annual salary doesn’t go very far.

Not only is the profiting from it, Biden and Blinken caused the invasion. Their signing a ''Charter of Strategic Cooperation'' with Ukraine in Sep/Oct 2021 which had them advocating for NATO membership for Ukraine is what provoked the Russian buildup and invasion. Intelligence has indicated that Putin is having mental and physical health problems and has been acting erratically for several years. Heads of state who have met with him have indicated that his behavior and mental state are questionable, and he has been making bellicose threats about NATO expansion for years. Then, we have Biden and Blinken offering NATO membership to Ukraine, which was pointless since Ukraine does not even qualify for NATO membership under the current charter. Biden made a pointless gesture which the paranoid and erratic Putin saw as a threat that he could not ignore, when no threat existed. Two incompetent heads of state; Biden and Putin caused a needless war. Ukraine could have been covertly armed, strengthened, and trained to counter Russian aggression without provoking Putin, an ill-informed mental defective armed with nuclear weapons.

Dear Europeans: We had a President who was honest, but you didn’t like him, either.

Here are two rules to live by: 1. If US election results take longer than two days to be revealed, the election is stolen. 2. If the US starts shoveling unknowable amounts of money to a (corrupt) nation, there are large kickbacks coming to Biden, Schumer, McConnel and the whatever House leadership is hanging around.
Just count on it!

"The nations are also concerned that the U.S. is using its quick and cheap energy practices to seduce businesses into moving from Europe into America. "
If America can have "quick and cheap energy practices",
virtually any nation can have "quick and cheap energy practices".
Going "Green" was a choice.
A particularly dumb choice, but a choice...
Own it!

They will have to beat China to our prime real estate and business climate. I hope the foreigners all enjoy their two years of prosperity because that's about as long as it will be before the American people take their country back. We have had it with Biden and his pedophile, racist, communist foolishness.

Pretty simple - Biden has the dirt on Ukraine and Ukraine has the dirt on Biden. They are indebted to each other and dependent on each other to keep the secrets silent and to keep the scam going. Thousands dead? Meh.

Get here 2024. Please. Meanwhile as Quid Pro Joe and his henchmen send $ 68 billion and Gawd knows what else to Ukraine, we don't have a border with Mexico. We are being invaded by hordes of riff raft bringing drugs, disease, crime, etc. to America. We have Americans sleeping in streets. We have Americans who can't afford food, medicine, housing, etc. Hate to bring this up. But another reason President Cabbage Head is addicted to Ukraine is Mrs Z is super hot and he wants to sniff her up close and personal.

The Euros are just peeved because the US is eating their lunch. Their complaints that the US is profiteering are rich. These are the effete deadbeats that "fear" Russia and allow their defenses to whither away because the US is too stupid to call it a day in Europe 77 years after the last war ended. That "Leader of the Free World" title is pretty damn expensive to maintain, and harder to justify given the minimal support from our supposed "allies." Washington warned against these perpetual friendly/unfriendly relations with other countries and the trap such creates. Time to wave good-bye to Europe and its intrigues...and make America greater.

Poor Leftist Europeans…
I’m an American citizen (not that that matters anymore) and Washington is not only NOT my ally, but my enemy.
Europeans and Democrats embraced communist green policies. Yet we ALL have to pay the price. I despise These people.

Well, our NATO and EU "allies" don't have that problem since they aren't stepping up with their fair share this time, either. But I'm sure that a number.of their residents are pocketing some of that 90% that doesn't go to "the big guy."

America, and Americans, are and always will be allies of Europe. We share the heritage of Western Civilization. You are ouir cousins Family. The current crew in Washington can do some temporary damage, but it can never destroy the bond.

The fact that Biden and the Democrats are fighting against an audit of the billions that the US has sent to Ukraine, is an indication that there are shenanigans being played and money is being skimmed. We know that some of the money was being "invested" in the sham digital currency company that in turn sent it to the Democrat Party. Who else was getting a cut? Zelinksi and other leaders in Ukraine have been sending money offshore into private accounts and we need to know where that money is from. I'd also like to see the investments of many members of Congress who are pushing for increased in money being sent to Ukraine. How many have recently invested in US defense contractors who have been supplying weapons?

Another viewpoint is that the European Union is our vassal. The NWO wanted the destruction of the Nation-State and they got it through BBB. Our neo-con cabal in Washington DC is leading the EU into dissolution and US into poverty.

Question for all of our supposed allies around the world.
What have you done for any Biden lately? If your answer is little or nothing, then your not an ally. Its expensive to be an ally of a democrat regime. Ya'll didn't figure that out during the Clinton administration????

As much as I despise Biden and everyone in his Administration I really don’t care about whining from the EU. We have done plenty for them. What have they ever done for us?

What do the EU politicians expect, as they are dealing with the U.S. Congressional “UniParty” that consists of Biden, Harris, McConnell, Pelosi, and the rest of the US Congressional UniParty, that is made up of the US Democrats, along with some wimpy establishment Republicans and RINOS who will all have to be paid off by way of corrupt kickbacks.

I don't put any credence on what intelligence says about Putin #3. It is in their best interest and the agenda to lie about Putin all they can to undermine him at any cost.
Rather shocking though that the EU is finally seeing our Swamp for what it is, and maybe they will start missing Trump? Weirder things have happened.

Washington DC is no longer working for the American people. I'd really blame Mr. Biden, but the American people know he is only the ''figurehead'' of whoever is pulling his chain and keeping him medicated. There IS some sort of connection between the Biden Crime Syndicate and Ukraine, but it is still being masked. Bit by bit, it is being uncovered.
