What is pathetic are our gullible Trudeau loving Northern brethren making up crap that has no basis in reality. And then trying to spread this nonsense here.
You do realize that Ukraine and Afghanistan have approximately the same area? The US spent an estimated $2.3 trillion and over 20 years in the country before Biden walked away leaving billions in military assets much of it still new in boxes with spare parts and in the custody of our enemies?
You better look at the clock... it is probably about time for you to get jabbed with another state mandated Covid booster.
Owen is living in a media induced LaLa land. Better get inside Owen before the climate change gets ya’.
"The most recent data available from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows current U.S. oil production at ~11.6 million BPD — still 1.4 million BPD short of pre-pandemic production. This shortfall is a major factor that led to the run-up of oil and gasoline prices over the past year."

The Poles and Ursula von der Leyen have solved the Russian gas crisis, and Alex tells us all about it.
https://youtu.be/x-_hIw419_E? t=545
Alex Christoforou: Poland is trying to find ways to kind of patchwork their natural gas needs and and so this is what Poland is doing.
Poland said that it could source gas via two links with Germany including a reverse flow on the Yamaha pipeline.
They've said that they can link with Lithuania, which has an annual capacity of 2.5 bcm and they're going to open on May 1st and interconnect her with the Czech Republic for up to another 1.5 bcm.
Poland is also saying they can add another five to six bcm via a link with Slovakia. It can be shipped in.
And pg is also saying they can import six bcm per year via LNG terminals and they're also working to to get another three bcm via Norway as well. Another three to ten - up to ten bcm via Norway.
So basically what Poland is doing is that they're just trying to patch up some sort of system where they can do away with gas coming from Russia directly to Poland and get that gas via five or six different alternative methods, but at the end of the day, most of the gas that's going to be coming to Poland via these these alternative methods is still going to be Russian gas.
That's the kicker to all of this, so Poland is going to be paying a hell of a lot more for the same Russian gas that they would have gotten if it just came directly via the pipeline from Russia.
Instead they're going to work it via Norway and via Lithuania and ship through Slovakia and using reverse gas flows via Germany and all of these ridiculous things, which is just going to end up costing the Polish consumer and the Polish businesses a lot lot more.
Wow! I am just flabbergasted. You mean a Hollywood person would try to mislead people? This must be quite upsetting to you. They might even try to tell you that armed drones are being manufactured in Ukraine and other such nonsense...
I went ahead and tried to verify that... and as usual... I don't think we know what was true in that situation. It's a he said, she said situation and predictably you are on Weinstein’s side, calling the predators account “absolutely true ...” You should be ashamed!
Yeah, it’s tough at times.
so they can keep making drones and other high-tech weapons that are proving decisive

Not disputing any of your post, but where will they be manufacturing those weapons if/when their factories are destroyed?
Will Russia develop new factories to manufacture electronic chips?
I was very unpopular when Bush was seeking the nomination.

I have no interest in coming to his defense, but refresh my memory as to who the alternatives were.
I’m sure they can if they want to. But what has changed to make that more financially attractive than it was a month ago?
The voting year was 2000.
Bush, McCain, Keyes, and Buchanan. There may have been a few others.
I was a no-go for Bush and McCain.
Because of our border and Bush’s desire to grant an amnesty, I backed Buchanan.
I would never back McCain for any office.
Ukraine isn’t like Germany 1945, where a lot of areas were flattened
most of Ukraine is away from the border conflict and still relatively untouched
Because of our border and Bush’s desire to grant an amnesty, I backed Buchanan.

Buchanan and I went to rival Catholic prep schools in D.C. in the same years. I used to chat with him at the coffee service after Mass on Sunday mornings at old St. Mary’s.
That’s interesting.
What was your impression of him in those days.
I’m not vested at this point, so you won’t offend me.
