Talking is the first step to doing

and 7 months ago, nobody was even talking about these ideas, because everybody still trusted Russia

those days seem so long ago now

Greta has been placed in charge of the Unicorn farms—and their excrement will give Europe all the hot air it needs!

All very expensive. Yet the EU still refuses to frack. Amusing they are building floating natural gas terminals to import American liquefied natural gas. Most of that gas comes from Trump era permitted fracking sites. The hypocrisy knows no bonds.

Greta’s current quest is to ban wood burning (currently rated as “carbon neutral” by Euro countries).

define “expensive”

the question Europe needs to ask itself is -

does it really make sense to save a little geld while you’re actually financing the Russian War Machine that is trying to ultimately destroy you??

the very money that Europe sends to Russia is used to buy weapons that will be used to ... attack Europe! That’s idiotic!!

Not our problem! Not a drop of American oil should go to Europe or anywhere.

Nonsense!
President Trump repeatedly warned the Germans about being over reliant on the Russians for their energy and offered so;utions, only for the arrogant Germans to laugh at him.
Well the Germans are not laughing now, and they will laugh even less when they are freezing in the winter.

Trump’s point was, if you are afraid of Russia, then don’t be dependent on them for your energy, and don’t fund them. And rebuild your militaries.

And if you’re not afraid of them, why do we waste our time with NATO?

Real question is, does Russia need Western Europe, when they have the gargantuan Chinese, Indian and Asian oil/natural gas markets ?

Europe's alternatives if Russia cuts off gas supply

One is to sell their children to Soros or the UN Blue Helmets ...
