Political scientist: Europe has to wait for Trump to leave
Политолог: Европе остается ждать, когда Трамп уйдет
What the site found
Leans that way — check · agenda: Russian energy sanctions backfire
Belief the Pravda network pushes: Bans on Russian gas, oil, and diesel hurt Europe and Lithuania more than Russia, and Russian energy still reaches Europe.
Political scientist Vladimir Sergienko argues that Trump has shaken the Western system and that Europeans will try to outlast him, and he calls the moral refusal to buy Russian gas economically irrational.
“It is morally wrong to buy Russian gas. Morally, it is economically profitable.”
It is morally wrong to buy Russian gas. Morally, it is economically profitable.
The video hints that Europe's ban on Russian gas is moralizing that goes against its own economic interest, which is the agenda's slant, but it gives no concrete false claims about sanctions harming Europe or Russian energy still arriving, and most of it is opinion on US-EU politics, so the transcript does not clearly show distortion.

0:01 We need to look at this through several
0:04 aspects.
0:06 You can look at it through the eyes of
0:08 the average Texan proletariat. That
0:11 perspective exists too. You can look at
0:12 it through the eyes of farmers, or
0:13 through the eyes of the stock exchange.
0:15 I suggest looking at it through the eyes
0:17 of Europeans. In many places in Europe,
0:19 they were popping champagne. They were
0:22 gloating a lot about it. And, uh,
0:25 changes will happen regardless.
0:29 Will the transatlantic US-Europe
0:31 alliance remain strong?
0:33 Will it follow a new track?
0:36 Trump does not sympathize with European
0:38 elites. Trump does not sympathize with
0:40 their migration policies. Trump does not
0:43 sympathize with their economic agendas.
0:46 And yet, a Third World economic trade
0:50 war is underway.
0:52 A Third World energy war is in full
0:55 swing.
0:56 And here I would make one simple point.
0:59 There is a German Ministry of Defense
1:04 memo that leaked this Wednesday.
1:09 And it clearly states that we shouldn't
1:11 anger the Americans, we shouldn't talk
1:13 sharply about European sovereignty, and
1:15 we shouldn't abruptly withdraw from
1:17 joint defense projects and arms
1:18 production.
1:20 And the slogan that by 2030 the European
1:23 Union must purchase at least 50%of its
1:25 equipment from European production—
1:27 today it's only 15%.
1:31 In principle, this could lead to a
1:34 deterioration of transatlantic relations
1:37 directly under Trump.
1:39 Accordingly, the changes that will
1:41 happen consist of only one thing. Trump
1:44 is a bright representative, and the
1:46 Republicans are, of unbridled capitalism
1:48 . Profit.
1:49 First of all, if we consider current
1:52 European politics and the Democrats, we
1:55 can speak of the moralization of foreign
1:58 policy and the demoralization of
2:01 domestic policy.
2:03 That is, when they pay attention to
2:05 social issues, to the deep-seated
2:07 morality in their society, and the
2:09 moralization of the economy.
2:12 Meaning, pragmatic steps of a capitalist
2:14 nature are ignored because morality is
2:17 placed at the forefront.
2:19 It is morally wrong to buy Russian gas.
2:22 Morally, it is economically profitable.
2:25 And now it is clearly expressed that
2:27 Europeans will resort to a strategy of
2:30 outlasting Trump.
2:32 Americans might receive a very strong,
2:35 uh, push right now.
2:37 And it seems to me this has already
2:39 begun. A distancing from the war in Iran
2:42 by elites in America will begin, which
2:44 will have to be managed between Rubio
2:47 and J.D. Vance.
2:49 Accordingly, the absence of war in the
2:51 Middle East with US involvement means
2:53 the stabilization of energy markets.
2:57 And looking at how the stock market
3:00 dynamic jumps, how indices jump, and the
3:04 activity today, stability and
3:06 predictability are better for everyone—
3:10 for Europeans, for us, and for Americans
3:13 —than the constant games that Trump
3:17 initiates.
3:19 And in this regard, Trump's entire game
3:22 now will boil down to the need to carry
3:24 out certain processes that will be
3:26 difficult to dismantle.
3:29 This struggle between the moralization
3:31 of society and, uh, the strengthening of
3:33 double standards will be clearly
3:35 pronounced.
3:37 And among Europeans, I will say this:
3:39 all the right-wingers who today relate
3:41 pragmatically in Europe to
3:46 the Russia-Ukraine war, all the
3:48 right-wingers who support buying Russian
3:51 gas—all these right-wingers are, in
3:53 essence, transatlanticists, they are for
3:56 NATO, and they will now very intensively
3:59 pivot from Trump to the Democrats.
4:01 This will be a definite change in the
4:03 opposition agenda in Europe. And Trump
4:06 was able to shake that foundation after
4:08 all. He shook up that hornet's nest.
4:11 And we can say that thanks to Trump
4:13 shaking the system, a kind of, well,
4:15 peculiar democracy is returning—not
4:18 representative, but real democracy,
4:20 which in the EU is quite heavily in
4:23 question in many countries.
4:25 Yes.
