The intricate saga of Joe Biden’s involvement in the Russia-Ukraine gas deal during his vice presidency has taken a peculiar turn, shedding light on how the politically enigmatic family dynamics of the Bidens might intertwine with international energy relations. Hunter Biden, the Vice President’s son, seems to have been more than just a casual observer in the dealings of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings. In fact, he was reportedly in full-on panic mode over the potential fallout from a stalled agreement between Russia and Ukraine, worried sick that any disruptions might spell doom for his financial interests.
It was in the fall of 2014 that Hunter’s energy company, Burisma, was seeking U.S. government support, all while Papa Joe publicly strutted around portraying himself as the tough-talking champion of Ukraine against Russian aggression. Conveniently, amidst this posturing, Joe happened to use a clever alias, “RobinWare456@gmail.com,” to send and receive correspondence regarding energy negotiations. One has to wonder if he thought he was pull a fast one or if he simply enjoyed the thrill of dodging scrutiny, like a kid trying to sneak a cookie from the jar.

The timing is indeed fascinating. On April 13, 2014, just as Hunter was whispering sweet nothings into his partner’s ear about the dire consequences of energy shortages, Joe was jetting off to Kyiv to pat Ukraine’s back with promises of U.S. assistance. While the Obama administration cranked up the rhetoric against Moscow, Joe was deftly working behind the scenes to ensure that his son’s venture didn’t go belly up. It’s almost as if the Biden household ran its own version of “Survivor,” where the last ones standing would both be holding the key to energy independence and, perhaps, a boatload of cash.
Fast forward to a significant moment in June when Russia cut off all gas supplies to Ukraine, prompting a collective gasp from everyone who was savvy enough to connect the dots between energy dependency and geopolitical maneuvering. Meanwhile, in a beautifully orchestrated chain of events, Hunter’s law firm was cooking up whatever legal magic was necessary to keep Burisma afloat amidst scandals and investigations. All the while, they were figuring out ways to cozy up to U.S. officials, channeling a mix of hope and desperation through a plethora of well-placed emails.
As the year progressed, it was apparent that Burisma was not just taking the whispers of legislative initiatives lightly but was actively lobbying to steer U.S. policy in its favor. By September, not only did Hunter have a meeting scheduled with a former State Department official, but it became evident that his activities were closely related to Burisma’s plea for survival in the chaotic energy landscape. As the drama unfolded, one couldn’t help but notice that while the world spun around energy crises, it seemed like the Bidens were just trying to spin the narrative in their favor.
When the dust settled in October 2014, Russia and Ukraine eventually inked a gas supply agreement, supposedly mediated by European powers. However, the Biden family’s peculiar dance through this minefield raises questions about the motivations behind U.S. foreign policy and the true nature of family involvement in ideological battles played out on an international stage. Amid this thrilling plot twist in the saga of energy politics, the term “conflict of interest” seems to deserve a dramatic encore.
