But von der Leyen’s bravado will fall on the shoulders of ordinary Europeans in the form of higher energy costs and diminished competitiveness. Based on Eurostat data and average consumption a typical EU household saw its energy bill rise from about ~€1,500/year in 2020 to ~€2,380/year in 2025. And of course, her decisiveness is all for show, since the EU is still buying Russian hydrocarbons, only with some extra middlemen layers and at extra cost. For example, India’s fuel sales to Europe jumped by around 137% since the imposition of sanctions on Russia.

But refusing to buy any evil hydrocarbons from Russia is only the start of where the mad Eurotard leaders want to go. In a recent media interview, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul all but committed Germany to starting World War III for Ukraine: “Next week Russia either bows… or we enter the war directly. And if it turns into a world war then let it be for Ukraine.” Wadepuhl outcrazied even his predecessor Annalena Baerbock who famously said, “I will put Ukraine first no matter what my German voters think or how hard their life gets.”

German people and other Europeans might beg to differ, but the fanatical zealots in Euorpe’s political class are taking increasingly aggressive steps to censor all dissent, silence opposition and drive the continent over the edge of war. Why they would be doing that is not a great mystery: clearly, it is out of their devotion to democracy, freedom and human rights. But exactly who is behind the suicidal agenda is harder to discern.
