The Western globalist banking cartel wants to impoverish the citizens in Western countries - to put hardship on the public and get them to agree to the Great (fake) Reset which is globalist code for their long sought NWO Globalist Fascist Surveillance Police State which already has sufficient control over Western politicians to make it official if the public doesn’t rise up.
Like nearly every other Western country, major US political parties are filled with puppets that cater to the bankers and multinational corporations at the expense of their own countries and citizens as well as worldwide humanity. Contrary to its own interests Germany is catering to the Western Central and investment banking empire or their proxies by shutting down the fuel pipeline from Russia - as the Western globalist financial empire has more control over German politicians directly and indirectly through various proxies (of which the US is one), than any other single country, group of any sort or population.
Follow the money and who bought political influence in Western countries and then profited off the laws and policies put in place as a result, including the policy of ignoring the law for those at the top echelons along with impunity for their politician and media puppets.
More than any other group(s) it was the bankers that set most of this up over the last century and some of decades. Multinational globalist corporations the bankers invested in, have also adopted the same globalist extremist ideology and want to perpetuate those wealth and power advantages.
Always look to where the money comes from that funds corrupt political parties and our false narrative Western propaganda “news” industry. Then look and see who the major beneficiaries are as profits from the globalist crime syndicate gets distributed.
Fuel price hikes in across the West will further along the greatest bottom up wealth transfer in human history that started as a result of, not Covid-19, but from the destructive Covid policies - while the world’s greatest wealth transfer continues as we speak.
When the pain gets bad enough, most will agree to a future of continuing exploitation in exchange for some temporary relief.
