Exactly,

literally fueling.

Oil $52/bbl-Biden signs energy executive order-

oil $75/bbl these days-

the difference times Russia’s 11.3million bbls/ output=

%91,000,000,000/yr in added revenues at face value-or thereabouts-

and that does not include nat gas.

As for the Russians. Can you imagine Kristi Noem being in the Situation Room when the SHTF?

Gutfeld was cruel to her yesterday. Over the top? Only if you know this could have all come out during October. Her only quality was her hotness. Nip it in the bud.

Points to Rand or DeSantis. They can trip and recover. No Dan Quayles.

Sadly, I have to agree that the US is fueling conflicts instead of seeking solutions, because solutions do not fill their bank accounts like war does, even if it is emptying the bank accounts of many Americans.

This is one conflict that absolutely did not need to happen, but they wouldn't stop making Russia feel uncomfortable with the continued NATO expansion. Want to prevent Russia from threatening their neighbors forever? Invite them to join NATO.

If this douche wouldn’t keep starting global conflicts, there would be nothing to “fuel”.

Putin can never be forgiven for the deaths and horrible mutilations of both Russians and Ukrainians. Just as Russia was emerging from soul crunching communism Putin initiates this asinine invasion of Ukraine.

Yet find no joy in this additional suffering of the Russian and Ukrainian people. Americans owe a debt of gratitude to Russia. If the Russians had capitulated like the rest of Europe ( except Britain) and not fought so well, sacrificing immensely, destroying the best of the German army, how many Americans living today would have never come to exist? How many Americans would have died trying to liberate Europe from an intact German army. Many of our fathers and grandfathers wold have never returned and never procreated.

Putin is absolutely right.

We've stuck our noses into multiple countries, setoff coups, civil wars and destabilized countries.

We've gone from trying to free other nations from the evils on communism and tyranny to reeking havoc in them to our political elite, Soros' NGOs and the defense industry can make a profit.

We're ones, you dishonest prick, that setoff a civil war in Ukraine by fomenting an illegal coup.

If you agree that, BECOME A DEMOCRAT.

The rest of sick and tired of spending billions meddling in other countries so our elite and defense industry can profit from it.

it is not necessary to like or support Putin to recognize that the west (USA, France) are fueling, pushing, enabling, arming, financing, and defending Iran, Iran’s Fakestinian murder gangs like PLO, Hamas, Hezballah, Fatah, Yemeni murder gangsters attacking international shipping on the high seas as well as Arabia, and wars in Africa, etc.

There’s a ton of profit to be made in the weapons business.

Your beloved Russia invaded Ukraine, Vatnik, not the other way around. These are the facts. Try to keep up.

This isn’t a Republican-Democrat issue. It’s a freedom and sovereignty issue.

And Putin is still a douche.

Russia didn’t invade Ukraine because of NATO. If NATO wasn’t there, Russia would have invaded it as soon as Putin was elected the first time, and really even earlier if NATO hadn’t been created, they would have taken West Germany and points West of the Iron Curtain just because they could.
The Russians helped start WW2 by invading Poland.
No, Russia did not invade Ukraine for any of the. excuses it gives in its propaganda, which is every bit as full of bullcrap as CNN.
Russia invaded Ukraine because it is the breadbasket of Europe, and Russia doesn’t want to rely on negotiation and trade to get what it needs or wants when it can simply conquer, deport the locals, colonize, and thereafter take what it wants, any time it wants, for as long as it wants instead of paying market prices.
It isn’t stupid like the US is. It keeps what it takes, with no intention of handing it back over to the locals.

And then there is the price gouging allure of it- Russia doesn’t want any kind of free trade but rather wants coercive power over all of its neighbors “from the Crimea to the Atlantic Ocean” by any means necessary, be it controlling the price of oil, gas,uranium, grain or any other lever it can take by force.

Multiple sources From X:

Exactly 79 years ago, on May 9, 1945 at 00:43 Moscow time, the final Act of unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany and its armed forces was signed.

Russophobe s in the west always want to portray the Russian Victory Day celebrations into some expression of militarism, or Stalinist nostalgia, but the simpler fact is that essentially every family in Russia lost something to the war - an uncle, brother, father, son, or home.

If there was a single event that had killed somebody in every American family you can bet that it would be conspicuously remembered

Russia vs. Germany: too bad both sides didn’t lose on the eastern front. Piss on all of their graves.

As I recall from the World War II series here on Free Republic, the surrender was by some low level Admiral as all other German leaders were dead or on the run. So it was not much of a surrender as an acknowledgement that there was nothing left to fight for.
