2009 Hillary convinces (strongarms) Barack Obama into bombing Libya. Libya supplied 35% of Europe's fossil fuels as oil via Italy. When Gaddafi was savaged to death, the country was plunged into a civil war. No more oil from North Africa. Libya is still fighting a civil war today.
2011-12 Iraq proposes a pipeline from their northern oil fields through Syria to the Mediterranean, then via ship to Italy. CIA, aided directly by Miss Lindsey and Mc NoName went over to Syria, armed up a bunch of Islamic radicals. They fomented a civil war and created ISIS. Syria is still fighting a civil war today. We're in Syria trucking their oil to Iraq and stealing it.
Iran has been selling their oil on the black market for a decade. The US made up BS about "human rights abuses," regularly antagonizes the regime, and of course, prevents them from selling cheap oil to Europe. That one's more complicated, but the State Dept has been active in destroying any effort to create a pipeline out of Iran to anywhere.
Ever wonder why Azerbaijan and Armenia are suddenly at each other's throats? It's not new. CIA and MI:6 have been over there fomenting that effort for years now. The last war in 2020 was bloody. Guess where the USSR's big southern oil fields were? Azerbaijan. We're destabilizing it. Secondary benefit is that it pressures Russia because Russia has guaranteed Armenian safety and now will be forced to commit troops for this purpose as they gear up to close the deal on Ukraine.
And of course, Nordstream 2 was hard-stopped before the project was completed, and Nordstream 1 was blown up by Joey "Ten Percent" and the US Navy.
In fact, I can think of only one source of new oil to Europe in the last 15 years: Norway, which is doing quite well with their new pipeline across the Baltic.
Their good "friends" here in the US are selling them biomass (wood chips) and LNG at 10x what they would cost if they came from domestic forests and Russia, respectively. We're making a killing while simultaneous preaching stupidity about muh carbon emissions. Germany's Energiewende killed off their domestic coal production and replaced it with worthless windmills. Now their factories are shutting down.
A little more history:

And the bankers are getting even filthier rich.
