and more:
“..Russian exports made up 30 per cent of Europe’s total gas supplies in 2010, but in the first half of 2021, it made up more than 45 per cent according to data gathered by Statista - with the main customers being Germany, Italy, France and Austria.
Despite that, Germany is pressing ahead with plans to mothball its nuclear plants this year - viewing them as damaging to the environment - despite multiple studies warning similar moves in the past have increased the country’s reliance on fossil fuels.
Mike Bradshaw, Professor of Global Energy at Warwick Business School, has said Russia has a tight grip on Europe’s energy market.
He said: ‘Europe is dependent on imports of Russian oil and gas, but Europe is also Russia’s most important market for those exports that are a critical source of income for the Russian Government. However, the Russian Government has been building up a ‘war chest’ in terms of financial reserves....”
Sounds like Brandon’s going rogue. He’s such an idiot he’ll end up unifying NATO and Russia against the U.S. /s
Bump. I think this is VERY important, and might be about one week from going critical.
Maybe.
Trump is correct.
Its absolutely correct what Trump said. And I remember him making those statements at that time.
There wont be a fight if Germany, France and the rest have any say.
Ukraine is screwed.
Biden is going to get us into a war to deflect from his failures. He will send conservative men and women to die all in an attempt to change the narrative. Don’t let your son or daughter go. Let him send the members of the LBQXYZ? team.
Republicans need to object to the Biden war-footing deployment. That addled old will do something stupid and Boom.
Trump was the first and only President in my lifetime (I was born when Eisenhower was President) who did not involve the U.S. in a new foreign war.
“’I’ll be moving troops to Eastern Europe and the NATO countries in the near term. Not too many,’ Biden said”
highly technical military jargon like “not too many” has always confused me ...
The world needs to be reminded of these rules of American politics that are NEVER broken:
1. When the Democrats are in control in DC, they destabilize multiple foreign nations to make their corruption money.
2. When the Democrats are not in the White House, they do everything possible to overthrow or destabilize the American government to regain power and return to Rule 1.
Go back in history and look…
Biden isn’t capable of a Ukraine solution. He is getting his marching orders from someone else. My guess would be Obama.
I have issues with John Mearsheimer, but in this speech on Ukraine from 2014 he is right on the money!
He could have given exactly the same speech today, and it would not be less true.

It is well worth listening to. However, for those who haven’t time, JM argues for keeping Ukraine as a neutral state in between NATO and Russia; neither a member of NATO nor the EU.
Except......Ukraine owns Biden
“Former President Donald Trump said the US should not be involved in the Ukraine-Russian crisis, calling it a ‘European problem’ “
The stupid-assed neocons disagree.
How many want to post on this thread, but are afraid?
Biden completely and suddenly abandoned Afghanistan as not being our problem. He’s effectively abandoned our own Southern Borders. So why is the Ukraine, Germany, France et al and the Russians now OUR problem? Biden won’t even vaccinate illegals (migrants) slipping in the US now; why is it we have to threaten over Ukraine? The BEAR as a potential threat to Europe is THEIR problem. Screw them. Make them fund their EDF, abolish our participation in NATO and let them deal with Ivan...
“Trump’s comments come a day after Biden vowed to mobilize troops in the Eastern Europe without NATO’s backing.”
Run along, little Foey. You can’t play with the big boys. Someone may get hurt. I know. Let’s play Fix the Mexican Border!
Biden shuts down our pipe line and gives Putin the Nord Stream 2 pipeline deal.
Biden’s war ensues
NEVER TRUST A DEMOCRT
You have made 51 posts in just the past 6 months from pro-Putin, Viktor Medvedchuk-controlled websites 112.international/112.ukraine.
And Medvedchuk is among the top-3 Ukranian quislings competing to be installed as Soviet puppet-state comrade-in-queef by Putin later this month.
Explain yourself. NOW. We're not having this here on FR any longer. You post 51 times in 6 months from pro-Soviet websites, and also post 69 times in 6 months from pro-China/pro-CCP websites, you have been found out. It's over. Who put you up to this? What did they offer you?
If so much as one American, or American serviceman, is harmed before, during, or after Putin's illegal Ukranian war, that's not going to be a good look for you here, after having pimped hard for Medvedchuk's Soviet point-of-view, and having done so by pimping Medvedchuk's websites, on a site -- the only site in the world -- dedicated to American constitutional conservatism.
I told you very plainly last time that you will not post here any longer without my reminding every Freeper that you are a simp, a stooge, an anti-American subversive. And now you know my word is bond.
