The US War for Energy Dominance: Seeking Dominance Over Europe and Asia

Europe has already suffered what is likely irreversible political and economic damage from its political capture by the US and now its growing energy dependence on the US.

Asia risks being likewise weakened by growing energy dependence on the US, making political capture much more likely by the US, then being transformed into a united front – this time against China rather than Russia – and used to wage war on the US’ behalf at the expense of the people, peace, and prosperity of Asia.
