Let's not forget the deliberate manipulation of the oil prices aimed at undermining Russia no matter the cost to anyone else.
Hey Europeans, at what point do you realise the US is trying to destroy you

Others see this as a total lack of balls left in Europe, and remembering WWII, the various members want the US to again tidy up their world for them.

Ah yes because no other country that produces and exports oil did anything, and the US did it all.
the US leads the charge in NATO
US is 80 % of NATO when it comes to firepower money and agenda
The US got itself involved heavily into souring EU -Russia relationship, a whole continent away from US borders
The US is the biggest supporter of that bastard child Israel who by the way have their own long term agenda in ME and none of it good
The United States contributes between one-fifth and one-quarter of NATO's budget. In FY2010 that contribution totaled $711.8 million.
America's contribution to NATO's military budget - provided through the Department of the Army's Operations and Maintenance account - is under 23 percent. The U.S. contributed $408.051 million and $430.381 million, respectively, in FY2009 and FY2010, according to the Congressional Budget Service.
After the U.S., the largest contributors to NATO's military budget are Germany (16.6 percent); France (12.4 percent); United Kingdom (12 percent); Italy (7.8 percent); Canada (5 percent); Spain (4.2 percent); Netherlands (3.3 percent); Belgium (2.6 percent); Poland (2.3 percent); Turkey (1.8 percent); Denmark (1.7 percent); and Norway (1.6 percent). Fifteen countries make up the remaining 5.8 percent.
Oh but yeah according to you US just has a bad rap
And the worst part is, you know it but double speak online
Even the dead in their graves know about special US Saudi relationship
And Saudis have clout with most of OPEC
Maybe your bs passes with other members but to me it is like rancid oil
