No one is willing to stop buying gas from Russia because this is another media driven hysteria. Or they'd stop buying gas from Russia. Seems pretty clear to me
Next question, who made it possible for Russian oil to be on the market making beaucoup $$$? Same guy that helped get the Nord Stream 2 project underway (BIDEN), was the same guy taking away leases on US soil, and CANCELED OUR PIPELINE DAY 1.
Such a tired, tired narrative. Putin bad! Ukraine innocent! Lol. Ukraine. Totally corrupt, bribe-taking, human-trafficking, Russian-civilian-killing, exemplary humanitarian country. I suppose if Russia was hoping to get missiles back to Cuba, the US would be just fine with it? Oh, and let's not forget that Putin was basically put in power by the US 20 years ago. Geopolitical theater. All of it. Notice how COVID has just disappeared from the "news". It's all Ukraine now. Rather convenient for the psychopaths that put us through hell for 2 years over a lab-created virus that is ultimately about as dangerous as the flu. Good thing billions of people got injected with synthetic genetic coding that over the last 2 decades proved dangerous to the point Moderna was going out of business....but then it magically worked for Covid! Good thing we have the FDA to tell is it's "safe" after 60 days of shotty safety data. Good thing!
So Alex, it's pretty obvious that this was all theatre. You don't telegraph your cards to an "enemy".
The US blocking their own keystone pipeline, while simultaneously approving the Russian pipeline just a year ago....Makes. Zero. Sense. From a standpoint of isolating a "rogue" nation like Russia. In fact it is the OPPOSITE action that should have been conducted....But this was intentional.
So the media was uniformly "pro vaccine" in 2021 - from FOX to MSNBC. Now, the media is uniformly "pro war with Russia" here in early 2022. Do they have any credibility at all? Not with me. I'm just assuming the media is running yet another con. Liars gonna lie, as they say.
Next up: "The Russians are throwing Babies out of Incubators!" Just like what happened to kick off The Iraq War 1 under the guy now known as Saint Bush the First.
Just like the media relied entirely on public health experts they liked for covid news, they're now getting all their war news from ukranian authorities. I trust it about as much ie not at all. and that includes the lying ukranian president. He's Andrew Cuomo all over again
Give Trump credit when he called out the idiocy of the German leadership wanting the U.S. to protect them from Russia while at the same time the German leadership was making Germany dependent on Russian energy.
Shouldn't that tell you something about the vast disparity between the carefully crafted optics you're allowed to see and the reality in this conflict? If you'd get the hook out of your mouth, AB, there are deeper waters in which you might swim.
Is the US oil / natural gas the only ones that affects the so called climate change. I guess Russia, Iran, and Venezuela oil doesn't affect the global climate so we can just buy from them. Go figure.
We have oil and gas here. We do not need it from any other country! Someone please tell the dumbo lefties, including the Biden Admin, that our "global economy" they love to talk about all share the same globe, i.e. Climate. Our energy is cleaner. Why are we begging tyrants for their oil? Biden and his Admin. are a National Disgrace.
Meanwhile the sanctions that do work are harming regular Russian citizens. Honestly, when I didn't think American foreign policy could be anymore stupid, we sink to an even lower rung of stupidity.
Peace talks work, people, and so does honoring one's word.
The US provoked the current situation by expanding NATO to Russia's borders and by aiding Ukraine in their 8 year attack on ethnic Russians in the Donbas
If NATO engages in a direct attack on Russian forces, something Mr. Berenson appears to support, it will mean nuclear war
My apologies, but Russia is a sh*thole and Ukraine is a sh*thole.
I don't see why we need to destroy the planet in a nuclear holocaust over this
Let’s say for a second (as a given) that one believes in climate change and that oil/gas = bad. Biden is begging foreign countries (enemies) to pump more oil to meet US demand. Since climate is global, oil is bad, how does a non-US producer impact the GLOBAL climate any LESS than if the US were doing it themselves. What am I missing here?
Also, this could've been easily avoided if we weren't so arrogant (and the military contractors weren't so GREEDY). Just stop cornering Russians, but then who's going to be the boogieman?(we're not ready to change it to China yet - though by the time we are, it'll be TOO LATE)
Just exactly when has the government or the msm told the truth about anything? I don't believe a word they say and I'm positive they always have an agenda that is not going to help the American people.
As a US taxpayer I identify very much with the Russian Federation. The entire US political class has treated both of us like garbage for decades. Ukraine is a US colony which is being used as a base for US regime change in Russia. US constantly sends billions of tax dollars to Ukraine and no one knows where they go. US violently overthrew Ukraine's elected government in 2014 and installed a puppet who gave Ukraine oligarchs whatever they wanted. This is about US seeking regime change in Moscow followed by total submission to the US as they were under Yeltsin.
Is Alex actually suggesting Europe stop all gas imports from Russia and freeze to death, just to show Putin they are against his invasion of Ukraine .... which is actually a consequence of NATO expansion. Where is the rationale?
The people actually running our country are far from stupid. They’re sociopaths who made a calculated decision to ‘end our reliance’ on fossil fuels. It ties in very nicely with their false canards of how we betrayed nature and now nature will seek its revenge. They grew restless and agitated when the commoners didn’t take them seriously. That is the reason we got a lab created virus and were told to believe that it was the direct result of our unnatural interactions with the environment.
I had to pay $4.50 per gallon of gas today all because of a country that does not have anything to do with my security or vital interests. The US should get its big nose the hell out of Ukraine and stop antagonizing Russia. I do not want to pay with either my money or the lives of the young people in my country for the ego trip US political leaders have by being belligerent towards Russia.
This was a planned war in that (1) as we cut our current and future energy production, Russia was given an opportunity to invade. (2) Russia has always made it clear that it considers Ukraine, if not part of Russia, part of the Russian sphere of influence. By bringing the Baltic states into NATO, for what reason it is unknown, and flirting with Ukraine, we provoked Russia to act. That is not apologizing for Putin and Russian aggression, it is simply stating an obvious fact. Unless we had gamed out how we were going to stop this, in advance, we were foolish, or naive, about our dealings with Ukraine. Or (3) it was known what was going to happen and the military, political, economic complex is going to make a lot of money on this war. Unless and until we truly block Russia off from the world markets and stop the flow of energy, I think (3) is most likely.
We are saddled with the worst, most incompetent, ignorant set of world leaders in memory. And as Texas 1130 said, below, they're not only incompetent, they're corrupt. Unfortunately, our lamestream media is merely fanning the flames. Shades of Hearst and Pulitzer, and the Spanish American War. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
We don't need you to join the warmongers, Alex. Aren't there enough of them? After seeing the COVID work in action, hard to believe you're being duped by what's happening in Europe.
It seems the "leadership" of the U.S. and the West, the globalists, the deep staters, are fine with lots of people being killed and displaced. Hey, we just created a few hundred thousand more refugees than what we'd planned in Afghanistan and "rebranded" it as the largest airlift. Everything will be FINE. We'll just have Catholic Charities and the vast U.S. gov't-funded (read: taxpayer-funded) refugee apparatus bring in more to America. No problemo. Americans are willing to pay a little more for a "good cause."
None of what's happening had to happen. This working to ramp up the sanctions now (how is that not a declaration of war?) rather than seriously trying to ratchet this down immediately (or, again, PREVENTED THIS) indicates war was the goal. We're hearing more and more about a no-fly zone -- in fact, the Ukrainian president is DEMANDING it of the West. More ramping up war.
Seems like all the techniques used during COVID are in full play.
Horrible that people are paying the price with their lives for the monsters playing a chessboard.
Statement on Russian-Ukrainian Crisis Vigano Mar 7 2022
Letter from Archbishop Viganon regarding situation in Ukraine
And with all the American companies refusing to do business in Russia, boy does China have it made. Pangea-East gets Europe and Asia. Pangea-West, woke North America and South America. We lose. (But that was the plan all along.)
Russia and China are creating the Global south ...They are headed toward a total union....This is a transfer of wealth to them....meanwhile many people will starve because countries are not allowing more food to be grown..like
Germany ........ right now ...the farmers are furious....not being allowed to grow more food or import means the Cabal wants to take control of the land and be in control of the food supply...all a part of the Great Reset The Cabal is following a script...To bring in the Reset of control.....All this was planned to the smallest degree....
the duran on rumble has had the best commentary on this issue i've seen, and it offers an alternative perspective to that being disseminated in the institutional press. if they're correct, and russia is not acting out of a desire for conquest, the conflict will be inflamed in direct proportion to the "toughness" of western response to it.
President Putin has taught all the world's governments that he will not allow any of them to place nuclear weapons on Russia's border just like U.S. presidents will not allow any foreign government to place nuclear weapons and military installations on U.S. borders. Let's hope that the brainwashed Americans and Europeans are able to understand that two plus two equals four.
Theatre, all of it. Except for the innocent people dying.
This was the obvious and predictable result of 'going green' and relying on Russian oil to stay warm in the middle of winter.
Oligarchs & politicians: 1
Us serfs: 0
Wake up people, this is another sham to destroy your wealth and disrupt your life.
we can't drill oil in the USA because it's bad for the environment, but we can buy russian oil because who cares if it messes up their planet
wait a minute...
No one is willing to stop buying gas from Russia because this is another media driven hysteria. Or they'd stop buying gas from Russia. Seems pretty clear to me
Next question, who made it possible for Russian oil to be on the market making beaucoup $$$? Same guy that helped get the Nord Stream 2 project underway (BIDEN), was the same guy taking away leases on US soil, and CANCELED OUR PIPELINE DAY 1.
While the West pays for Putins War, he uncovers US funded bio labs in Ukraine. Ah the symmetry.
Such a tired, tired narrative. Putin bad! Ukraine innocent! Lol. Ukraine. Totally corrupt, bribe-taking, human-trafficking, Russian-civilian-killing, exemplary humanitarian country.

Just like the plandemic.
Logical conclusions.
I hoped I'd never see the day when we'd have a president dumber and more incompetent than Jimmy Carter.
Brandon has dementia and his advisors are off-the-charts NUTS.
WTF negotiating with Iran and Venezuela, when the US has giant puddles of oil to tap?
And what's this I hear about Putin getting all cozy with Cuba?
The White House must have a SCREW UP DARTBOARD: Every day they toss a dart to select the Dumb Ass Idea of the Day.
So the media was uniformly "pro vaccine" in 2021 - from FOX to MSNBC. Now, the media is uniformly "pro war with Russia" here in early 2022. Do they have any credibility at all? Not with me. I'm just assuming the media is running yet another con. Liars gonna lie, as they say.

I have the same feeling in my GUT as I did when the government shut us down with 15 days to flatten the curve.
Something just isn’t right.
Bye, bye covid, hello war. 😳
We aren't really sanctioning them either. Oil transactions don't go through SWIFT.
Is the US oil / natural gas the only ones that affects the so called climate change. I guess Russia, Iran, and Venezuela oil doesn't affect the global climate so we can just buy from them. Go figure.

Netflix just suspended service to Russia.
That'll teach 'em.

I don't see why we need to destroy the planet in a nuclear holocaust over this
So why exactly is this war happening? I don't trust anything the media says anymore.
Let’s say for a second (as a given) that one believes in climate change and that oil/gas = bad. Biden is begging foreign countries (enemies) to pump more oil to meet US demand.

You know, if you don't look at the other side, and listen to it, and then decide what is the truth..
You lose all your credibility about " unreported truths"
Why not investigate why noone in western media cares that the Ukrainians just assassinated their own negotiator on courthouse steps for treason.
It's true.. but noone covers it.
Because why..
It disproves their narratives about the Ukrainian government and lends credentials to Russia's stance.
And oh yeah.. another day silently goes by while covid disappears into historical fiction because we are so focused on evil
The US incited the war between Russia and Ukraine and apparently did so deliberately. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4&t=120s

You're good at Big Pharma, bad at foreign policy.

This is what comes from letting Marketing run everything. You can’t “cancel” Russia - it’s a country not a TV show.
The people actually running our country are far from stupid. They’re sociopaths who made a calculated decision to ‘end our reliance’ on fossil fuels. It ties in very nicely with their false canards of how we betrayed nature and now nature will seek its revenge. They grew restless and agitated when the commoners didn’t take them seriously. That is the reason we got a lab created virus and were told to believe that it was the direct result of our unnatural interactions with the environment.
My guess is the Germans decided that Ukraine independence wasn't worth freezing to death over.
I don't disagree with that decision.

Start asking the Ukraine cheering section….
Why is the Biden Administration buying Russian oil & sending weapons/money to Ukraine…thus, financing both sides of this nonsense?
And with all the American companies refusing to do business in Russia, boy does China have it made. Pangea-East gets Europe and Asia. Pangea-West, woke North America and South America. We lose. (But that was the plan all along.)
your Russia-Ukraine takes are as bad as your covid takes are good..
When Brandon warned of a "Dark Winter" I think he was being literal; no energy for lighting, heating, etc.
Does everything the Left touches turn to shit or is it just my imagination?
Here's a very enlightened explanation of who actually started this war. https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=245343
Spoiler: It was us (as in the US).
Russia and China are creating the Global south ...They are headed toward a total union....This is a transfer of wealth to them....meanwhile many people will starve because countries are not allowing more food to be grown..like
Germany ........ right now ...the farmers are furious....not being allowed to grow more food or import means the Cabal wants to take control of the land and be in control of the food supply...all a part of the Great Reset The Cabal is following a script...To bring in the Reset of control.....All this was planned to the smallest degree....
Don't forget what the last two years was about
anyone with any sense knows banning US oil back in jan21 lead to this. almost like banning IVm & hydro to treat covid in mar20
And just like that, POOF, the Covid posts cease. The purpose of this theatre has been served.
the duran on rumble has had the best commentary on this issue i've seen, and it offers an alternative perspective to that being disseminated in the institutional press. if they're correct, and russia is not acting out of a desire for conquest, the conflict will be inflamed in direct proportion to the "toughness" of western response to it.
