Since you’re making stuff up about me and expecting me to defend it you won’t mind if I return the favor, right?

They started this when they went to war in 2014.

2014. Oh yes, that was the year of the CIA-supported coup of the elected leader of Ukraine.

But it's Russia that's bad...

“But you are a neocon”

And you’re a Russian sympathizer if not a Russian troll.

Yep, those criminal neocons started this mess with the revolution of 2014.

It’s not made up.

Even the stupid people know these sanctions, supported by every Democrat and neocon (like you), hurt every American.

But YOU think it’s worth it to virtue signal hatred of Russia.

You may not fully realize you hate Americans, but everyone else does.

Let it be known that while Trump was in the WH US weapons were sent *overtly* to Ukraine so I doubt the Russians care much about what he says either.

Russia was a reliable partner that provided this energy and now they’re not. And it’s all because of the weapons on their border being pointed at them. This is what they’ve been warning for a long time. They are done talking.

>>>>Re: Natural gas is priced globally. Sourced and shipped globally.

Soaring prices and supply disruptions will hit every country on earth (except Russia) and, indirectly, kill millions.

Increased gas prices drive increase fertilizer and electricity costs too. 40% of US electricity is generated by natural gas.<<<<<

True. But Russia’s tiered pricing system (discounts for friendly countries) means China (and a few others) won’t be hit as hard.

Up until June 19th of this year you’d never weighed in on any of the Russia/Ukraine topics and now here you are writing as if you’re one of the long-time true-believer Russian sympathizers.

What happened? You got your activation orders from Moscow?

Scream that from the highest rooftops.

You can add it to your “I hate Americans” screeds.

Nope. Russian oil and gas pipeline systems are starting to break down due to the lack of foreign expertise and foreign equipment needed to run these systems.

Germany (and all the rest) need to surrender and do whatever is necessary to get the pipeline turned back on.

“And they lauged at President Trump about energy security & Russia. Dummies!”

That’s the take home message.

Trump called it. Told the in person to their faces.

Don’t count on Russia.

They did belittle him.

“But YOU think it’s worth it to virtue signal hatred of Russia.”

I’ve been hating the Russians long before this fracas in Ukraine started. I had some hope for them after the USSR dissolved and then I had some hope that Putin was going to do good for the country.

Now he’s revealed himself to be the unrepentant New Soviet Man he always was and I’m right back to hating the bastards.

Let them leave Ukraine and maybe I’ll change my mind. But for now they’re threatening nuclear war every other day and now they’re threatening to invade Alaska.

And you support that kind of talk, don’t you?

So why aren’t you in Ukraine fighting for Russia since you love Russia so much?

I have a hard time telling who is pro USA these days. Everyone appears to be pro or negative Ukraine / Russia. I want what is best for the USA. That is not Biden, Ukraine, Russia Germany or the rest of the EU. What is the best for our country. It’s not flushing billions down the crapper of corrupt Ukraine or corrupt Russia or lazy EU.

Because I’m right here in the USA fighting anti American neocons such as yourself...the enemy inside the gates.

Re: “Germany is still reliant on Russia for about 35% of its supplies, while France gets 17% of its gas from Russia.”

France gets around 70% of its energy from nuclear power, AND, France is building 10-20 MORE nuclear power plants.

We are, apparently, still exporting Natural Gas, but no where near the amounts we would be exporting if the election had not been rigged. Inexpensive energy equals more freedom, and the democRATS hate freedom.
