A report in the Washington Post this week (inadvertently) highlights the corruption and unscrupulous nature of the Kiev cabal. Russian oil and gas continue to transit Ukraine for supply to the rest of Europe, providing Kiev billions of dollars in handling fees. (Russia is fulfilling pre-war contracts for delivery.) The laugh is that the Kiev regime has been vociferously demanding that all of Europe cancel energy trade with Russia. If the regime had any principles it would not allow the transit. But of course, the duplicity and money-making are too much to resist for the regime that came to power by a CIA-sponsored coup.
Despite western sanctions imposed on Russia over the Ukraine conflict, some Asian and specifically West Asian economies are importing significant amounts of Russian gasoline at discounted prices, and reselling it with windfall profits to the EU under their brand names.
In what it calls “one of the most blatant examples of the ‘shock doctrine,'” a new Greenpeace report released today reveals how the gas industry took advantage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to lock Europe and the U.S. into building new liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure that threatens the well-being of both frontline communities and the entire planet.
No one but the terminally naïve should be surprised that security services lie – and that they are all but certain to cover their tracks when they carry out operations that either violate domestic or international law or that would be near-universally rejected by their own populations.
