“Because of biden,”

Actually Biden has very little to do with it.

The first Nordstream provides 33% of Europe’s gas, and the Ukrainian pipeline another 15-20%. That’s been in place for decades.

And it’s why Russia will not be cut off from international banking. It’s the only way to pay for the gas and keep it flowing.

Cut it off and a lot of people will die. And economies will suffer greatly. Prices up on everything.

Not to mention Russian oil, and they are the world’s largest producer of crude.

Any talk of “cutting Russia off from the world” is simply ludicrous ignorance.

So he may as well take Poland too, at least they are a prosperous democracy.

Biden could hurt Putin badly by producing more energy, which would help our economy while hurting his.

Russia’s economy has been described as a big gas station and little more. At around $60 a barrel most of our fields everywhere are profitable, and our economy would be better balanced while his would hurt big.

And there wouldn’t be a thing he could do about it. We are propping him up while hurting ourselves.
