I had a look at the Incompetent Aristocratic von der Leyen's family tree: if looking for explanations as to why she would sink the European economy for the primary benefit of the US, it turns out she's not quite as European as we might imagine. She's actually descended from a prominent US Virginia plantation slave owning family named Ladson. Interestingly when living in London Ursula took an alias: she became "Rose Ladson".
Classic by von der Leyen - from a total Russian oil ban to: "...To save Europe from Putin, we must continue to buy Russian oil. Because if we don't, Putin will sell it elsewhere and profit more from higher prices, so we better buy Russian oil and not let him profit..."
