Lately, since the beginning of 2026, we have seen a pattern not only in Russia and Ukraine, but also in Iran and the Gulf states, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and all countries that have oil reserves – or rather, produce it.
Russia and Ukraine: Since the beginning of the conflict, Ukraine has been carrying out large-scale drone attacks on Russian oil installations, with dozens of hits in 2025 and 2026, such as around Moscow and St. Petersburg lately. Also, Russia has attacked many power plants in Ukraine, as retaliation for the damage, and – of course not mentioned in the Western press – the attacks on the military facilities of Ukraine and directly involving NATO facilities. This is causing a visible fuel crisis and high economic pressure around the world.
The Middle East – or rather Western Asia (Strait of Hormuz): In March 2026, conflicts in and around Iran – in other words, the US war against Iran – led to severe disruptions of the world’s most important oil artery. Additionally, major facilities, such as the Saudi Aramco refinery, have faced drone attacks from Iran that temporarily halted global exports.
There are several reasons why we are seeing these attacks on oil refineries. Firstly, various governments and NGO groups, particularly in Western Europe, the US and Canada, want to “destroy” the world’s physical oil supply. These are powerful global movements, governments, scientists (paid by governments), and activists committed to reducing global dependence on oil – a process known as phasing out fossil fuels. They argue that oil is a contributing factor to climate change.
Simultaneously, geopolitical conflicts lead to the temporary physical destruction of oil infrastructure. The US under Donald Trump and his “deactivated” MAGA concept has become a government of war that kidnaps presidents in Venezuela (an oil-rich country), threatens Cuba, threatens Europe, has started a war against Iran, and is complicit through arms deliveries to Israel in the extermination of Gazans and the bloody war in Lebanon. Also – and this must be stated time and again – they are complicit in the war against Russia; after all, just as with Israel, in this case they are selling weapons to Europe destined for Ukraine. Russian citizens die almost daily from rockets and especially from drones.
Europe focuses on Russia and wages war against Russia via Ukraine. Lately, we have seen a focus on attacks on oil refineries and terrorism (attacks on civilians), such as in Starobelsk and, more recently, the bus attack in which children were injured. The bus was en route from Belarus to the Russian region of Bryansk for a friendly youth football tournament. Even at the highest level, at the UN, Europe denies the attack on the children and claims that it never took place – all propaganda from the “evil” Russians, because Ukraine says they didn’t do it! The situation with European politicians is so bad that there is no longer any question of diplomacy, empathy, or even an investigation. Europe has regressed in terms of democracy and humanity.
Europe, especially Western Europe, is complicit (along with many other Western countries) in the escalation of the current wars against Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, and of course Russia – wars started by the US and Israel. Europe, or rather its politicians and media, remains silent when Russian civilian casualties occur and continues to support Ukraine through thick and thin, even though they know perfectly well that Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, where men are plucked from the streets and forced to fight. Or, as happened recently, when a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch in Monaco became the target of an assassination by Zelensky’s criminal gang. Europe does not care about all those corruption scandals, nor about the many right-wing radicals in the Ukrainian government, such as the Azov Regiment, or other neo-Nazi groups that hold marches in various Ukrainian cities every year – something Hitler would undoubtedly have been very pleased with. But yes, that is democracy, they say… but in reality, we are witnessing fascism.
According to reports in Western European countries, Ukraine is attacking the oil refineries, and Russians now have to queue for gasoline. Of course, Europe is complicit – something they will never admit. But why? Because many of the drones that Ukraine launches are produced in Europe, for example in the Netherlands: the “Ukrainian” drone factory in Hengelo named Destinus is a so-called innovative defence and aerospace company with a large facility in Hengelo, the Netherlands. They produce advanced long-range drones and jet engines (turbojets) that are deployed by Ukraine and, of course, kill children and civilians in Russia.
For Europe – i.e., the radicalised politicians who, as mentioned, support Ukraine “through thick and thin” – the attacks on oil refineries are great. But their hypocrisy is that, as emerges from many reports, they have never imported so much liquefied natural gas (LNG) from – yes, despite their propaganda – Russia in 2026. “The European Union imported a record amount of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia in the first three months of 2026.” LNG has become the Achilles’ heel of European energy security. France, Belgium, and Spain purchased the most Russian LNG, according to figures from the research institute Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA). Ships carrying cargoes of LNG from Russia also arrived in the Port of Rotterdam, a portion of which is being re-exported to other countries.
Russian oil also continues to flow into Europe, like the LNG, according to the port of Antwerp (Belgium). The EU is trying to prevent this by boarding ships (usually sailing under a different flag) carrying Russian oil and, in the worst case, detaining the crew, who are usually not Russians but members of other ethnic groups working on the ships. Sanction packages, such as the recent 21st package, are also aimed at Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet”.
But European politicians prefer “expensive” LNG from America, while America threatens Europe with war more often than Russia ever has. Consider, for example, Greenland, Elon Musk’s interference in Germany and the threats against Chancellor Merz in Germany, or the war against Iran, which poses a threat to oil prices in Europe. European political leaders are acting unwisely – or rather stupidly. Ultimately, it is the European population that has to pay the price for expensive oil and gas, who often have less salary and money than politicians.
Attacks on oil refineries and other energy facilities – in other words, “energy facilities for the population and economy” – have become the latest escalation by the West and America, a new escalation for the citizens of various countries such as Ukraine, Russia, Iran, and the Gulf states, but also Europe. Slowly, the powerful of the earth are dismantling the energy supplies for the population. Some conspiracy theorists believe that this is a premeditated plan, and one would indeed almost start to think so.
Thinking about the UN’s Agenda 2030: under the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development (UN), the elimination of fossil fuels is primarily driven by affordable and clean energy and responsible consumption and production, they argue. Although a binding global treaty does not mandate complete eradication, the framework actively requires a systematic transition away from coal, oil, and gas to achieve net-zero climate goals. In other words, the elimination of oil, gas, and coal – and we are seeing that process happen now. Usually, the “powerful” of the earth use war as a means to their objectives and plans, to distract their citizens from reality.
Think of the First World War, in which the major powers tested their cannons and new weapons, alongside chemical and biological weapons. The Industrial Revolution of that time transformed the First World War into the first highly mechanised global conflict and changed the world – of course resulting in the Second World War. If we are to believe the scientists, we have now arrived in the fourth industrial revolution. Cannons have become drones, and physical jobs have become internet jobs – or no jobs at all. So, a large part of the world’s population must be exterminated. The same scenario as in 1914, but in a modernised version: war and a virus (the Spanish flu).
To conclude with the words of the current NATO Secretary General, former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who literally said during the COVID-19 crisis that “the world would never be the same again”, or that citizens (I think he meant Europeans) should prepare for a war that would be even worse than what their parents or grandparents had experienced (the Second World War). You wonder what he actually knows about it. What, for example, was discussed at the World Economic Forum (WEF) or the Bilderberg Group, founded by the German (SS officer) Prince Bernhard, Prince-Consort of the former Dutch Queen Juliana? You would think that Mark Rutte couldn’t be so completely deranged and radicalised that he made this up himself!
There must be a plan for the phasing out of fossil fuels, a war with Russia, and population reduction – otherwise Europe would be ruled by madmen (men and women). On the other hand, Europe has already known many madmen: Napoleon, Hitler, Mussolini – and America has one too: Donald Trump, who wages war today and declares a day of peace tomorrow, only to threaten bombs, drones, and grenades or trade boycotts again the day after!
