What? The US master plan is to replace Russia? Years in the making it must be.

The US would be perfectly content not doing so - in fact this only happened because Russia has committed a monstrous war of aggression.

The US had no say in becoming Europe’s gas supplier. It happened because Europe’s preferred gas supplier is a criminal state.

That is false. Even when the Soviets started to supply Europe with gas the Washington elites became alarmed.

The US is a hegemonic superpower, it most definitely has a say on who Europe gets its gas from. NATO is the USA. Let's not kid ourselves. That's GeoPolitics, that's RealPolitik. USA would most definitely like to supply it's surplus oil and gas to Europe.

Criminal state? What about the shelling of the Donbass for 8 years? Ukraine is one of the most, if not the most, corrupt countries in Europe.
