At this point it's too late... Bye-Dumb has already shown the world what he's made of. Guy can barely put his pants on without crapping in them...- what do you really expect him to do?

The time for Action wasn't damning the Keystone Pipeline deal and approving Russia's deal knowing full well they were trying to take over Ukraine a long time ago !!!

Hello.... Hello... is anybody home?

We had them right where they were supposed to be until Bye-Dumb Administration took over.

What a disgrace!
Help me out.
What Russian deal?


As an aside, those who feel the need to assign childish nicknames to others say more about themselves than their target. This goes for the tRump, Orange Man, Bone Spur crowd, too.

I do ! I do !

The 10 year proxy war funded and supplied by the US.

We supplied the weapons and sent contractors to train the rebels how to use them.

This attracted jihadists from around the world, including bin Laden who created al- Qaeda.

The fact is that we import roughly the same amount of oil from Russia today (not a lot) as we did in 2020. You can be against the GND and for the pipeline, but stop pretending these have anything to do with Ukraine.
The problem with your view is that it's a worldwide oil market. Even if the U.S. imported no oil from Russia the shrinkage in supplies still places demands on other oil sources. If the Keystone Pipeline was being constructed the market would price in its availability. Also the market prices in the perceived hostility to new sources of energy. I meant by "Green New Deal" not literally what is stalled in Congress but the ideological hostility to domestic production.

Shut down US oil production?

Best not to tell that to the WTI benchmark for US produced crude oil.

Putin took Crimea it was a matter of time before he took the rest of Ukraine.


I just feel like America should not be the world police. Ukraine and then Taiwan

Independent voter here. Everyone is not one or the other. Biased polling.

I am a republican and personally I don't know if anything can be done without repercussion that will come back and bite us in the behind. Yes we should send military aid, which might be a little to late, but beyond that I am not sure we should/can do anything else.

The only thing I am sure of is the military complex and the worthless old men in government will be happy if we did go in swinging.

Did those military leaders tell the Trump Admin to :

Negotiate with the Taliban in 2019-20?

Agree to facilitate the release of 5000 Taliban fighters from Afghan prisons and then follow through?

Withdraw all but 1250 troops?

The US Military Industrial Complex would have been delighted to stay another 20 years, building roads to nowhere as they did the previous 20.

Seems to me building consensus within and beyond the EU made a lot of sense.

The United States suffers under Joe Biden, and now the world will suffer from the incompetence and ineffectiveness of Joe Biden. People will die because of Joe Biden.

The only reason this is happening now is because of the weakness of Joe Biden.
