Obama and Biden had as much to do with the Ukrainian events of 2014 as they did with Elizabeth Leachman breaking five kilometer run records.

Obama did side with Russia when he promised them greater “flexibility” after his reelection in an obvious treason caught on an open mike.

“That was just to smoke you Russian apologists out”

What we did was smoke out a purveyor of disinformation.

BS. It was a CIA orchestrated coup meant to push back on Putin after Putin snubbed “the great reset”

It does affect World Prices on Oil.
It’s called supply and demand.
Less oil. Higher oil prices.

There was a scene in NF’s Three Body Problem where a government big wig asked a Naval officer about this big new Arleigh Burke class-like ship and what he thought about it.

“It was built for a non-asymmetrical ware between huge players. I’d have taken the billions this thing cost and bought thousands of drones instead.” Even a ship with multiple CIWS would have trouble getting a huge drone swarm

Funny how all bashed you instead of commenting on the article you wrote.

You should start your own “Bash Canuck” thread. Should be enjoyable.

At least you are an amusing dunce, even though you do not intend to be the clown that you are.

“...CIA orchestrated coup...”

You fall for Moscow orchestrated lies. Go tell Klitschko it was the incompetent CIA. Watch out for his long looping left hook.

things got to change in America and Europe. I don’t mean by going all electric, or all green. Change will happen when the truth catches up to the manufactured fantasy reality in which we now are forced to live. The Longer we delay this reality, the more painful and bloody the change will be. Think 1789 France or 1917 Russia. It will be a grim wake up, when the American people realize that much of what they were forced to believe—just aint so.

More BS.

It’s a fact that that the CIA was in the ground organizing the coup with resistance.

Just as they did with the Arab Spring and just as they did with the Summer of Love here.

Once Obama got his preferred candidate, Poroshenko installed. Obama was pushing harder and harder up to 2016 that Russia was a horrible threat and needed to be stopped and then… Trump got into office and suddenly Russia had obviously overthrown the US elections but Ukraine wasn’t touched…

Then Biden gets into office and hostilities between Ukraine and Russia immediately start up again to the point where war is declared and the US is complicit in starting this war because they refused any and all negotiations and peace initiatives by Zelensky and pushed for a hard line.

I’m not a Putinista - it’s you who are a slobbering puppy for Biden and Obama who are using their power to further enrich themselves and drain western resources. Grow up.

“...I’m not a Putinista...”

You recite all the Putinista lies.

In reality, Boy-kisser Putin said, “Russia knows no borders.” He invaded the Republic of Georgia. He created the fake separatist movement in the Donbas. He dedicates new Stalin statues. He levels Ukrainian towns. He bemoans the loss of the old Soviet Union and works hard creating the Neo-Soviet Russia.

BTW, these have no effect on US gas prices, since Russia does not export to the US

It's a global market, so that statement is false (and so obviously false that anyone 1 week into a basic economics class should be able to clearly explain it).

I suppose the gist of this is that supposedly, the Russian economy will only beat the US/NATO economy by 2 percentage points instead of 3 in the next quarter...
