If it is humanly possible the Democrat Party and NeoCon Republicans will get us in one. Their wet dream would be a full nuclear exchange from all sides. The Neo Cons and Democrats including the media are already spending their blood money. The American families are having going away parties for their husbands, wives, sons, and daughters who will be going away to training camp to be sent to the meat grinder. When they return missing arms, legs, eyes, and other parts, and appendages thy will be warehoused and forgotten. Out of sight. Out of mind and the sheep graze on. If we only had more Lying Joe Bidens. The people would be most happy and content.

“Somehow he doesn’t mention anything about ramping up domestic production, or slowing down this headlong dash into “green” idiocy.”

EXACTLY, but he does have the necessary jabs at Trump, so as to get published.

If we want to PUNISH Russia, then drill-baby-drill (around the world) and simply cut off the need for Russian oil, and then cut off oil/gas trade with Russia (although, of course, Russia does share a border with China, LOL, so we might have to include China in that embargo).

We can also rid ourselves, ONCE AND FOR ALL of the WEF Instruction Manual, “The End of History” Francis Fukuyama, where he states there will be a One-World Government and no more wars. Perhaps a huge book burning, even though he may end up right, but only because China and Russia wind up running his One-World Government.

This is starting to get comical, I can’t keep a straight face typing. Sorry...I know it can end bad, but I’ll die happy, seeing the IDIOTS who gave us this nightmare die with me.

“A couple of days ago, a Freeper described Ukraine’s president as “the Ukrainian version of Jimmy Kimmel.” I still crack up every time I think of that. Maybe that’s what we are dealing with here … countries in the West that are run by clowns and buffoons.”

I’ve been thinking the same thing. The country is LITERALLY run by a comedian. How much does he know about how global politics work, about the capabilities of the Russian military, etc. I think we can safely guess nothing, so he was simply a puppet of the US and other countries using him to poke at Putin...and now we have the biggest war in Europe in nearly 100 years.

“It’s not just western Europe’s reliance on Russian gas that is driving decisions in this conflict. Just look at the bucket full of @ssholes in our own government whose children have made a fortune working for Ukrainian gas companies. Those companies aren’t selling Ukrainian gas. They’re selling Russian gas that is transported by pipeline across Ukraine.”

I posted this on another thread in response to people here that think we’re Putin puppets:

The problem for me, at least, is that Ukraine is a small to medium sized country in the middle of nowhere, yet I kept hearing about it with regard to the Bidens, and Trump’s impeachment, and it looks like the Dems (and Romney) had a great scheme going there to launder money to their families.

So forgive me if I have little sympathy for the government in Kiev. I usually root for the underdog, because it’s more fun, but Ukraine chose to take a side in the politics of the United States and we’ve been paying the price ever since. Whatever the government there is replaced with, will be an improvement for the United States, and that is ALL that I give a crap about.

Exactly. No mention of the suicidal policies of “green energy” and shutting down “the west’s” coal, oil, and natural gas. Liberals gonna liberal.

Robert Reich has a near perfect record for reliability. He is almost always wrong.
