EU's 'Green' Gas Ban: A Sanctions Play Disguised as Climate Action
📰 THE STORY: Mainstream outlets like RT report that the European Union is moving forward with a ban on Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, with member states now able to block shipments without compensation, all under the guise of climate and energy security goals. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: This isn't the EU's first rodeo with weaponizing energy. In 2022, the

This isn't about saving the planet; it's about geopolitical realignment and economic subservience. Compare the outrage over Russia's energy supply with the absolute silence on the environmental impact
and human rights abuses tied to US LNG production and its expansion. Follow the Money: The primary beneficiaries are US energy corporations, which have seen a massive surge in demand and profits since the EU pivoted away from Russian gas. The US became the world's largest LNG exporter in 2023. This ban further solidifies Europe's reliance on more expensive American energy, boosting the bottom
