Blame America First, eh? Putin's responsible for your pain at the pump right now, that's just fact. That's where the world points the blame -- they don't blame the US president.

But you can go ahead and stay in your disinformation world Putin was so willing to coddle you with, in the hope of dividing the USA. Good on you comrade for helping him out.

The rest of the world... eh, you aren't with us yet. But we hope you will see the light! Even if you were tricked you can still realize it and don't let it happen again! What is the saying, "Fool me once, shame on you.." Don't fulfill the "Fool me twice" part as so many have done.

Nah, Sleepy Joe is the one in the US getting blamed right now. Don’t forget Sleepy Joe getting huge amounts of oil and gas from Putin.

Too early to tell regarding Russia. Only fools jump to conclusions in these sorts of situations.

Nah, it’s too late. Conclusions have been proven. Folks have already been slaughtered because Sleepy Joe couldn’t keep the peace. The war is going on as we speak. Poor Joe and the Dems bit off wayyyy more than they could chew.

He hasn't handled anything so it's hard to say, maybe the best move is to ignore it and head to Delaware

Where would this firepower from the air be coming from?

NATO drones deployed in Ukraine. Where it already is coming from. Lil' Hitler didn't know we could do that.

There were basically two obvious actions to take

- Go all in an Ukraine, send in American troops from Poland. Declare any invasion of Ukraine would be met with Nuclear force. See how Putin responds.

- Make assurance to Putin that NATO will not accept Ukraine as a member, going back on NATO's promise in 2008 Bucharest.

No one knows if either of these two things would work but they are both the logically consistent things to do.

What Biden did (or his administration did, as he is a potted plant) talked tough without any real desire to back Ukraine. This pushed Ukraine into a war with Russia. If we were not prepared to fight for Ukraine, we should not have talked 'tough.' Ukraine is paying in blood, and possibly territory.

Ultimate blame lies at Putin's feet of course, but Biden's administration foreign relations team should all be fired.

What does Sleepy Joe do with those huge amounts of oil and gas from Putin?

Does he drive a gas guzzling vehicle like he is on a race track?

That waste contributes to the demand, thus increasing the price.

Americans could stop the buying of that 6% we buy from Russia just by driving sensibly.
