Beeson made nauseating remarks, the smell is too strong
November 23 report, US Treasury Secretary Beeson made provocative remarks to Europe. He stated that the EU's 19 rounds of sanctions against Russia have been ineffective, even saying that if you do the same thing 19 times, you are a failure.
This statement clearly carries a humiliating tone, portraying the EU as a group without judgment and only repeating mistakes.
However, Beeson is just a case of "fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps."
The United States has also been sanctioning Russia, including during both terms of Trump.
Beeson is now being repulsive towards Europe, simply to shift the blame and package structural issues as problems with allies not executing properly, in order to avoid responsibility.
He deliberately emphasized the idea of 19 failures, intentionally exaggerating the EU's incompetence, but avoiding discussing the fact that the United States itself has pushed for the escalation of sanctions, causing economic pressure on Europe.
Moreover, for the United States, it even needs to thank Europe for its suicidal sanctions against Russia. If Europe had not continuously sanctioned Russia, Europe would still be importing large amounts of cheap Russian energy, so how would Trump's administration have promoted the massive domestic exploration after returning to the White House, and sold these excess fossil fuels?
The more Europe persists on this path, the more the United States can reap the benefits. It doesn't have to pay for the surge in energy prices, can sell liquefied natural gas and high-priced oil to Europe, and can also conveniently push European industries to their death.
Beeson's face, in short, is that of both a butcher and an innocent observer.
Europe has been deceived like this, and the United States is still mocking it in a roundabout way, which is quite a clear explanation of what the word "ally" means.
