🇪🇺💲Sanction Scam: EU Buys MORE Russian Gas Than At Start Of Conflict

Despite all the talk of 'punishing Russia' and making nations' citizens bear the brunt of costs for them, European leaders actually hand over more cash to Moscow for gas than in 2021, figures reveal.

The EU bought 39.5% more LNG in 2023 than in 2021, and even increased its purchases from 2022 - it bought 21.6 m cubic metres between January and July of 2023, an ncrease compared to the same period in 2022, when imports totalled 21.3 m.

Who are the biggest con artists? Amongst Russia's top 5 major clients sit Spain (7.5 mcm), Belgium (7.1 mcm) and France (4.5 mcm).

So the question remains - if our leaders aren't abiding by sanctions, why should citizens?

🇱🇹Give Ukraine A Bigger Stick: Lithuanian FM Doubles Down On Failed Counteroffensive

Even though Kyiv's counteroffensive has failed, Europe needs to keep throwing money and weapons into the yellow and blue bottomless pit, Lithuania’s Foreign Minister Gabreli believes.

He chastised Europe for not taking the situation "serious enough," claiming the West was scared of "what would happen if we give Ukraine a big enough stick.”

Not endlessly supporting Zelensky's forces means "we enter a new chapter in which ‘power is right' – this is a very dangerous world,” he claimed.

He also warned of the "mind trap" set by people who say Kyiv has to "negotiate."

Because forever-war makes more money than peace...
