@spdrnl @gleick @bert_hubert Yep, Trumpists want to wrest Russia from China's orbit, and regime change in Europe (putting extractive industries on a pedestal) is one of their goals for achieving that. No more EU (Four Freedoms, Precautionary Principle, Human Rights); it would be a zone dominated by Russia and US.

Look at how US regime is allowing Iran to keep bombing other fuel facilities and ships in the region. Instead of targeting missile launchers they're destroying fuel infra in tandem.
