    >Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are.”

    >He claimed this was because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”

    >Vance continued: “As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy.”

    For allies wondering whether to help Trump fight Iran after all.

    The problems Trump creates are everybody else’s problem, not America’s.

  2. How do you even deradicalise a base like this? They’ll eat shit if it mean their perceived enemies have to drink piss too. All the while being told to ignore their eyes and ears which do they do gladly. Genuinely how do you combat that?

  3. Sorry Trump, turns out we can’t send any more ships to Iran, we can’t afford the diesel.

  4. At some point we have to admit to ourselves that these people are not, have not really been and certainly will never be our actual allies.

  5. The US is the worlds biggest oil and LNG producer so of course they hurt less and actually are gaining from this.

  6. We did focus so much on green energy that my bills are not affected by gas (or natural gas) prices so much since my house relies more than 90% on solar and green electricity and my car charges at home for free on a sunny day, so I only need to use gas on the extremely cold days which are rarer every year.

    Thanks for accelerating the conversion to green energy, Europe will be a cleaner place while the US suffocates. 

  7. “hey, we shot ourselves in the foot but do know that the bullet also hit our friends. What a thing to celebrate, right ?”

    “Hey, why aren’t they helping us ?”

  8. Allies hurt more……because they have diversified away from gas towards renewable energy sources…..

    Congrats Vance. You make as much sense as the all mighty orange blob.

    I drive a BMW electric “green scam” car. I want to say thank you to Germany for their “scam” car, I didn’t see any increase in my “gas price” so far.

    Gas usage per person in US: 26000 kWh

    Gas usage per person in Germany, Italy, Uk : ~9000 kWh

    For France < 5000 kWh

  11. The MAGA mindset (“I don’t care if I suffer as long as people I hate suffer more”) but applied to international relationships.

    (+ “having green energy sources is bad when oil prices go up” is particularly… bizarre)

  12. Gas prices which are higher because of America. So he is gloating about America causing suffering to Europe.

    I’m sure he’ll gloat the same way when he is conronted by families of those killed in their idiotic war.

    Republican politics in a nutshell. “Our fellows are suffering *more than us*”.

  14. Now, you see, y’all need to understand something here.

    JD Vance does this, because he’s pure evil.

    That’s it. That’s all you need to understand about the Trump regime. They are all pure evil. No exceptions. They are happy when others suffer (more). This is common for the far-right.

  15. Why does everyone in that Administration act like being an insufferable prick is their full time job?
