Think of the Monumental hypocrisy because all of those countries also make loud noises about not using fossil fuels. So they help to destroy the world in multiple ways because really they are just greedy pigs.
Of course the shame is we had Biden and some of our states preventing the export of natural gas and oil from the United States which could be a substitute for Russian oil.

It is my view that President Trump is trying to negotiate -- in the sense of maneuvering through a minefield -- various political stances, from hardened militarism to the use of soft power, as through the practical through to the proponents of "zero emissions" (which is an illogical folly), and from the stiff-necked proftis-above-all folks to those less aggressive. It's a tough road for him, and I suspect he is up for it. Who is not up for the slog in the long run? Some of our European "allies" as the news features all sorts of wobbly political realities there.
Quite a Monument. Some hypocrisy might be necessary to prop the whole, but that "coalition of the willing" stuff which isn't so willing is just bit players on the stage as great powers collide. So do I see things.
