Ol Joe is caught with his pants down. You should read the fine print on these Sanctions. They do not mean what you think it means,
. Also, if Russia is allowed to continue their scorched earth warfare, how will Ukraine pay back our $40B?

If we were still producing oil and natural gas, our economy would be going strong, we would be shipping lots of it to the EU and Russia would be economically crippled.

Russia’s record oil profits are only ‘transitory’. Give it another 5-10 years, then it’ll really hurt.

“payback our $40B”, nothing like good slapstick.

We (Brandon and the Dems) shorted our supply which made prices rise.

Russia let it flow...prices went down and they're doing just fine.

If only Brandon would catch on. His climate change policy has hurt everyone...and he says it's a good thing.

Just another example how Biden provides aid and comfort to the enemy. (Enemy according to every Democrat and neo-con RINOs). Russian oligarchs are getting extremely rich off of high oil prices. I guess that is how things work in Russia and America. Look at who gets extremely rich in America due to endless wars run by woke generals. Meanwhile, hardworking Americans get screwed.

So this is why Putin’s switched from he ‘might nuke London’ to he’s gonna nuke the US?

Figures.

I’ll bet the EU isn’t paying their share of the war either.

“So this is why Putin’s switched from he ‘might nuke London’ to he’s gonna nuke the US?”

Can you cite a time/place actual Putin quote, or are you just repeating deep state intel agency/MSM propaganda from the same gang that lied to us about Iraqi WMDs, the Trump/Russia Collusion hoax, the totally legit 2020 election, etc etc?

$40B is 20% of the Ukrainian annual GDP WITHOUT having their infrastructure destroyed.

Ruble looks pretty strong these days. Must be due to the sky-high price of oil that we’ve created for Russia.

“If we were still producing oil and natural gas, our economy would be going strong, we would be shipping lots of it to the EU and Russia would be economically crippled.”

Non-starter with the bunch we have in the White House, also building up our military is a non-starter (even though Jimmy Carter did both in response to Afghanistan).

Would have been better off doing NOTHING about Ukraine.
