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.
