US Promises Ukraine Gas to Replenish Russia-Destroyed US-Backed Infrastructure
Kyiv, facing crippled energy systems from relentless Russian barrages, is reportedly eyeing US gas to plug the gaping holes. (Isn't that just dandy?) The mainstream narrative frames this as straightforward assistance, but let's peek behind the curtain: US energy giants, already flush from Europe's pivot away from Russian gas, stand to gain immensely. It’s a textbook example of disaster capitalism,
where destruction abroad directly fuels corporate profits at home. This isn't just about 'helping' Ukraine. It's about securing lucrative long-term contracts for US liquefied natural gas (LNG) suppliers, often at inflated prices. Remember how European nations, after sanctioning Russian energy, ended up buying more expensive US LNG? This 'aid' model frequently funnels taxpayer money into private
hands, ensuring a perpetual cycle of conflict, reconstruction, and market expansion for US industries, all paid for by American citizens and indebted allies. How convenient that solving a crisis created by geopolitical maneuvering also solves a market problem for Big Energy.
