But RAT senators will sure take kick backs from Russian gas companies so RATS are promoting Russian behavior.

Russia can weaponize their energy all they want. It’s their energy. The question I have is why is anyone foolish enough to do business with them?

“ “We’re working with countries, companies around the world to ensure the security of supply and to mitigate against price shocks,” the official said.”

Our government, working hard to oversee energy supplies everywhere on earth.... except of course, your local gas station.

There are no bums in the streets in Russia, unemployment is under 4% and the shops are fully stocked.

The idiots in D.C. gave Putin the loaded gun when they shut down domestic energy production.

Now they're demanding he not use it.......

Hey Bidet, was that the same companies you said you would put out of business a few short months ago. I have an idea, we could divert a lot of energy by closing all that coming into the DC area and send it over seas. Works for me.

That is funny coming from brandon. He has weaponized energy (Green to replace hydrocarbons), and has tried to destroy Oil, Gas, Coal, and Nuclear.

All of Western Europe is dependent on Sov, er, Russian natural gas and fuel; the more so since they destroyed their own energy systems like coal and nuclear.
Why shouldn’t the Russians use this to bludgeon them into submission?

Also, don’t forget this is also the reason for the Syria debacle. They were trying to get natural gas from the Gulf to Europe, bypassing Russia. Unfortunately, there was this Russian client state in the way...

““..They need a war to cover their lies. They need blood and sacrifices...”

You’re right., They will blame the illegal guns and bombs being used to cover everyone’s lies while appearing to protect the world. Biden needs a big red “S” on his chest. (Stupid)

Yeah, Russia, you better not do to us what we did to the American People!

Or else!

Besides being an Agence France Presse (AFP) Biden-support arm, this “don’t you hold back your resources if WE cause a war with you” stuff is just nonsense.

That’s what I’m thinking. We could also ask why Germany is getting rid of their nuclear power plants and instead plan to rely on the pipeline from Russia.

At what point do we run out of stuff to sanction? We already have sanctions against them for non-existing “election interference”

Of course, Biden would never admit his mistake of cutting off our own oil production has enabled Putin. Idiot.
