That’s what you get for sanctioning Russia.

Does anyone besides me think this could be a way to salvage the US national debt? If the Europeans don't want to buy oil from Russia the US can step and become their supplier. Our national debt gets a dent in it and the Europeans get to keep the lights on while patting themselves on the back for not supporting Russia.

As far as I'm concerned the sanctions are a great opportunity for the US. We would be foolish to pass it up.

The US is trillions in the hole right now around 30 trillion.

President Trump has called for 60 trillion dollars in reparations from China for causing COVID.

I think the trend in the US and other Western nations in the future will be selling off seized Russian assets and then yet to be seized Chinese assets to fill government coffers.

You fell asleep in history class, didn’t you?
Just as the US is the main financier for the Uke war, so will it supply the EU with heat at US expense until spring when temperatures rise and the Euroweenies can badmouth their benefactors again. The Euroweenies stay awake in history class.

There isn’t nearly enough LNG infrastructure in place to replace pipelined natural gas from Russia.

Our current leaders are dramatically worse than foolish.

One of the reasons my gas heating bill has leaped towards the sky is because the United States is selling so much gas to Europe. So we’re paying a lot more here thanks to the Euro trash envirotards. If I have the choice of letting them freeze or paying more for my gas......
