„Warum keine zusätzlichen Zölle?“ US -amerikanischer Sekretärin Marco Rubio verteidigt die US -amerikanische Sparkraft in China, Europa, weil er russisches Öl gekauft hat. warnt Sanktionen riskieren global

SS: Rubio addressed questions about Europe’s continued reliance on Russian oil and gas, highlighting the complexities of imposing sanctions or tariffs due to global market dynamics. Rubio noted that Europe is indirectly purchasing Russian oil, which is refined by China and then sold into the global marketplace, including to European countries. He also acknowledged Europe’s ongoing imports of Russian natural gas, despite efforts by some nations to reduce dependency, suggesting that Europe could strengthen its own sanctions efforts. When asked about the possibility of sanctioning Europe directly for these purchases, Rubio was cautious, stating that direct sanctions on Europe were not necessarily on the table but emphasized the broader implications of secondary sanctions. He explained that targeting Russian oil sales to China, for example, would affect global oil prices, as China refines this oil and sells it worldwide. Imposing such sanctions could increase costs for all buyers, including Europe, or force them to seek alternative sources, potentially disrupting global energy markets. Rubio also referenced a proposed Senate bill that suggested 100% tariffs on China and India for their Russian oil purchases, noting that European countries privately expressed concerns about the potential economic fallout. He stressed avoiding a “tit-for-tat” escalation with Europe, advocating for a cooperative approach instead.

This is surreal.. Sanctions are now not about punishing Russia and its „enablers“ but about oil price stability?

India for example will be punished if it continues to import from Russia to reduce price for its citizens, but if European citizen suffers, his country will be allowed to freely get from Russia?

One thing is for sure.. Don’t ever side with these hypocrites ever.. Let there be whatever govt suits your country, like Chinese do, and build self reliance.. If you have to trade with them ensure that reneging on a deal hurts them also..
