The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Frailty...Thy name is EU!

450 million weak-willed, welfare-addicted drones, whose fixation on personal pleasure, an easy life, and a total reliance on others to do the heavy lifting in their miserable lives has led inexorably to their current situation of another invasion by Islam. Except this time they don't have the intestinal fortitude to fight back.

And even when there is a fight that they believe in, they can't be bothered to turn down their thermostats and slow down their pretty little cars and trains to cut off the oceans of cash going directly to their supposed enemy...the evil Russian bear!

Because cheap energy is one of the ways they prop up their failing welfare states and their rush to green energy suicide. Oh sure, they tax the hell out of it, just to keep the peasants from getting too uppity, but they are hiding the true cost of that cheaper energy. The many billions of euros that they pump into the Ukraine war are partially necessary because Russia can afford to pay for their end of the war...with oil and gas revenue coming from the EU!

You can't make this up! The hypocrisy of the EU is stunning, yet they continue to pontificate about America's lack of involvement in their war of adventure.

NATO Countries Still Tapping Russian Oil and Gas

Before the Ukraine-Russia war in 2022, Moscow provided around 40 percent of the EU's natural gas imports, along with significant volumes of crude oil and coal.

Eurostat data show that Russia's share of EU liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports stood at 12.9 percent in the second quarter of 2025, while pipeline gas accounted for 12 percent, with Norway, the United States, and Algeria displacing much of Moscow's supply.

Following the EU's seaborne crude ban in December 2022, the only remaining legal flows of Russian crude into the bloc come via the southern branch of the Druzhba pipeline, supplying Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic under exemptions.

Until the EU gets serious about the Ukraine war, and stops funding Russia, there is absolutely no claim on any shared NATO involvement. Of course that means American involvement, because while most of NATO has pledged to increase defense spending, they have yet to do so. We still pay the lion's share of European defense!

But this has been the EU method for years. They talk a big game, but quietly trade with the most evil countries on earth. Take a look at the machinery that ran Iran's nuclear program...it sure wasn't Iranian. Or the steel used in Hamas's tunnels?

What this sclerotic and weak continent wants is for America to bail them out yet again. Their masturbatory fantasies of American air strikes on Russian positions in Ukraine, and American tanks driving on Donbas might seem to them to be reasonable, but 250,000 American servicemen died the last time Europe decided to duke it out.

Maybe they should send some of their effeminate, entitled youth into the bloodbath of Ukraine before they expect us to bail them out.
