How we can help Europe fight back against Putin’s gas warfare
NY Post ^ | 8/29/2022 | Brigham McCown

Vladimir Putin has opened an economic front in his war against Ukraine — intentionally cutting oil and gas supplies to European countries.

Parts of Europe may be without heat or power as Russia’s weaponization of energy has sent prices soaring to more than 10 times the average. The risk of citizens freezing to death is a distinct possibility. Putin is gambling that Russia can last longer under sanctions than Europe under winter. That by inflicting enough pain, support for Ukraine will crumble.

But how could this even occur, and what, if anything, can America do to help?

Maybe a better idea: we start pumping oil and gas like crazy and end Putin?

“The risk of citizens freezing to death is a distinct possibility.”

__________________________________________

This is a self-inflicted risk just as it is a self-inflicted predicament.

The solution is for Europe to reverse their anti-energy production policies within Europe - problem solved.

Why don’t we just worry about America and let Europe take care of itself.

What kind of an idiot would expect Russians to worry about the health and safety of Euuropeans while Eurowanker governments were arming and supporting a barbarian nazi horde on Russia’s doorstep??

Trump warned the Euroweenies of this potential scenario. Turns out the bad Orange Man was correct. Now look at what their mess is.

Why is it that when the rest of the world suffers from their dumb decisions, it always falls to America to save them from their own follies?

One sentence in and it’s already nonsense

Are you serious? Russia is by no means really threatened by Ukraine and its efforts at independence. Nazi Horde 🤨

What can America do to help? Drill, Frack and Mine Coal. Bigly.

Yes, it really is that simple.

Screw Putin a f screw Europe. How about we focus instead on the problems in our own country for a change.

“...Drill, Frack and Mine Coal. Bigly...”

We were doing all of that just two short years ago. We let them flagrantly steal the election and now we are governed by pop culture imbeciles and hardcore Leftists.

Russia is by no means really threatened by Ukraine and its efforts at independence.

Regardless, the West destroyed itself by getting involved. Your children and grandchildren, if not outright exterminated by the chinese, will be their slaves. Maybe if they're lucky, they'll get to live on reservations for white folk, sort of the way we created them for Indians.

The German delegation chuckled at him & shook their heads.

Well, the FIRST thing we would need to do would be to get the HAREBRAINED IDIOT out of the White House.

Next, we hunt-down Soros and deport him to whatever country wants to hang him, I'll wager there would be several who would gladly do the job..

After that it's "DRILL BABY DRILL.!!"

If only some world leader had warned Europe about this possible outcome...

“The risk of citizens freezing to death is a distinct possibility.”

Make no mistake, one of the reasons they didn’t see this coming is their adherence to the religion of Climate Change. They think that Winter doesn’t real anymore. Rude wakeup call incoming.

Or we could mail them some electricity. Kalifornistan must have a lot to spare. Or better still send them the Cortez nitwit whose hot air could keep many Europeans from freezing. We could also send the idiot New Yorkers who voted for her to huddle under blankets in the dark with the European fools who voted themselves into this mess.
