text: It’s becoming increasingly clear that the biggest winner in the #Ukraine conflict isn’t Ukraine or even #Europe—it’s the U.S. If #Trump’s suggestion that Ukraine should hand over control of its energy infrastructure to the U.S. were to happen, it would be sold as a security measure against #Russian attacks. But in reality, it would give Washington enormous leverage over Ukraine’s economy and, by extension, Europe’s energy supply.
  
  Meanwhile, European governments keep pouring billions into #Zelensky’s war effort, thinking they’re defending democracy, while in the end, it’s the U.S. that stands to gain the most—both strategically and economically. The question is, are European leaders blindly following Washington’s interests, or are they just too short-sighted to see the bigger picture?
