My Take: Trump, climate crowd make energy Russia weapon

During his latest My Take, Varney Co. host Stuart Varney ripped Biden's weak leadership and the climate crowd for making energy Russia's best weapon as tensions rise in Eastern Europe.

STUART VARNEY: Back in the day, President Trump hammered the Europeans: he wanted them to defend themselves against the Russians instead of relying on us.

He warned against relying on Russia for their oil and gas supplies.

They hated Trump, especially Germany's Angela Merkel. She wouldn't spend much on defense, and when Mr. Trump lost the election, she immediately canceled plans to import gas from America! She threw Germany into Russia's hands.

That is where Germany and much of Europe are now. Beholden to Russia, which supplies 40% of Europe's nat gas.

Germany is not acting like an ally over Ukraine. They are scared to oppose Russia. They won't help Ukraine's defense, because they are reluctant to impose sanctions. Asked to send military supplies, they sent 5,000 helmets.

Europe is not helping itself either. The climate crowd won't let 'em go. There is as much nat gas under European soil as there is in America, but they won't go get it! Germany is about to shut down its last two nuclear power plants.

Putin is laughing: "I oppose me, and you'll freeze!"

That's a facade, and Putin won't believe it.

The greens and weak leadership made energy Russia's best weapon. Trump saw it coming.
