It is quite remarkable to consider that almost 100% of these global issues could immediately disappear if the far-left ideologues behind Joe Biden would just unleash the American energy sector. Alas, the seemingly religious cult of climate ideology will not allow it…. therefore we get these bizarre outcomes.
The U.S. has economic sanctions against oil exports from Iran, Venezuela and now Russia. The EU is economically collapsing under their inability to power their economies without energy products, a specific outcome of the latest NATO and EU sanctions against Russia.
The green energy programs in the EU cannot sustain the needs of the population. As a result, German Chancellor Olaf Schultz and French President Emmanuel Macron are asking Joe Biden to lift sanctions against Iran and Venezuela and let Iranian and Venezuelan oil replace the missing Russian oil. Again, none of this would be needed if the U.S. just developed more oil and gas domestically; but Biden won’t change policy.
(Reuters) – The international community should explore all options to alleviate a Russian squeeze of energy supplies that has spiked prices, including talks with producing nations like Iran and Venezuela, a French presidency official said on Monday.
Venezuela has been under U.S. oil sanctions since 2019, and could reroute crude if those restrictions were lifted. Indirect talks between Iran and the United States to revive a nuclear deal that could see sanctions on Tehran lifted and its oil exports resume have been on hold since March, but are due to resume in Doha soon.
“There are resources elsewhere that need to be explored,” a French official said on the sidelines of a G7 summit in Germany, when asked about how to alleviate high oil prices.
The outstanding issue between Iran and the United States was no longer linked to the nuclear dossier but to U.S. terrorism sanctions, he said.
“So there is a knot that needs to be untied if applicable… to get Iranian oil back on the market,” the official told reporters, speaking on condition of anonymity. “We have Venezuelan oil that also needs to come back to the market.”
A second official said all options need to be explored given the stakes, including those involving Iran and Venezuela.
The first official called for a temporary increase in production from oil-producing nations, and said there would be an effort to try and convince them to do so.
[…] French President Emmanuel Macron was caught by Reuters TV rushing to tell Biden that he had spoken to United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan (MbZ), who had told him that the UAE and Saudi Arabia could barely increase oil production. (read more)
Apparently, when you overlay the geopolitical western chase for climate change ideology, some sanctions become less important than others.
Saudi Arabia cannot replace Russian, American, Iranian and Venezuelan oil for the western governments; it would simply be too high of a production demand for Saudi Arabia to accomplish. The western industrialized nations know this reality, although they keep pretending publicly that some alternative solution is possible, and they are now flummoxed about how to remove former ideological sanctions against Iran and Venezuela without exposing the insanity of their geopolitics.
All of this is only happening because the western alliance is chasing the pipe dream theory behind “Build Back Better.” The supposed “green energy” programs can never compensate for the efficient use of oil and gas, yet they must pretend not to admit this reality in order to sustain the decades of lies behind their climate change claims.
It’s creating a hot mess of hypocrisy that one would hope the world will eventually notice.
China already owns Venezuela’s oil does it not?
Both China and Russia are taking Venezuelan oil as repayment for loans.
Also China is taking it from Angola, which the G7 is targeting for their solar projects.

I have seen posts today on other sites that Iran and Argentina have applied for membership into BRICS.
No official confirmation yet.
No matter how Western leaders and their media vassals may seek to spin it, the US-led response to what Vladimir Putin called a ‘special military operation’ in eastern Ukraine, has been an unmitigated disaster. In military terms, while the well-trained Ukrainian forces have fought bravely, the final result has never been in doubt. Russia is now close to achieving the goals set out by Putin just prior to the military operation. This month, the Russian Defense Minister Sergei K. Shoigu announced that the Russians had successfully created their desired ‘land bridge’ between the Donbass, Crimea, and Russia. Russian military forces are now inexorably grinding their way west through the Donbas region, towards the open plains of central Ukraine, northwest towards the major city of Kharkov and in the southwest, towards Odessa. The infamous Snake Island is now fortified with Russian missile and air defense systems, including their famous SM400, giving them full control of the sea, land and air in the north-west part of the Black Sea and in south Ukraine.
Putin may now approve an extension of the initial goals of the operation and order the military to advance all the way to the Dnieper River, if not further. Western and Ukrainian propaganda can no longer conceal the awful truth about the ongoing destruction of the Ukrainian army. Western military assistance appears to have escalated the conflict, with military equipment being destroyed in transit or in place by superior Russian firepower. Entire Ukrainian brigades are dying, giving up or retreating, often in disorderly fashion. No one can tell how many Ukrainian soldiers have died or been injured – an American general estimated the true figure may be up to 200,000. It is telling that young men do not appear anymore in video and images that emerge from the main fronts. The tragic scenes emerging from the Donbas are rather of older men, exhausted and haggard after weeks surviving relentless Russian bombardment.
Western observers have in general not grasped the reality of the situation. Accustomed to seeing American saturation bombing from the air on weak opponents, we in the West have forgotten what real war looks like between well-equipped and well-trained armies. The Ukrainians are not goat-herders from Afghanistan. They were a very effective and motivated fighting force. That the Russians have been able to decisively outmatch them with inferior numbers and constraining rules of engagement, proves how effective the Russian military is.

“Well trained Ukraine forces”
We have seen the bunch of thugs including the AZOV Nazis battalions who are destroyed and now making old men and women fight.
Just like when Germany ran out of soldiers, they sent the young boys to do the fighting. Nazis never change. Anybody notice how no one gives a rat’s ass about Ukraine anymore in the USA. Where have all the Ukraine flags gone to?
In my neighborhood, the diehard liberals still have Ukrainian flags flying in their yards.
I think we saw one around here, there’s also one “Hate Has No Home Here” sign in front of a really ugly house. I want to put up one that says “But Bad Taste Does” below it. Not bad for a well off suburban SoCal neighborhood.
Don’t they realize it’s already “Monkey Pox Season” with elections around the corner?
We never did!! People who cut the cord years ago know the truth about most things Democrat.
Same place where all 81,000,000 of the Vote FJB / FKH stickers and magnets went.
The phony Ukraine flags were severely overpriced at 60 Billion in hard kickback cash
Testosterone fueled pubescent boys, throughout history. Whether legal or illegal, in this country, or abroad, you will find this to be true. Look at rioters. Mostly teenagers.
Exactly right….. with reserves being brought in to Donbass as canon fodder….. so bad
In fairness, our CIA has been training Ukrainan troops including NAZIS for many years, to overthrow the Russian Government and install a puppet like Biden or Zelensky there.
This war was originally scheduled for Empress Hillary’s first term but Trumpus Interruptus, so they had to wait for the Installation of Emperor Caligula Robinette and his War Pig Gangsters.
Many here and elsewhere have been following the Russian S.M.O. since day 1.
On sites other than our Western propaganda media mouthpieces.
Maybe our greatest foe is our media.
Russia achieved a victory within the first 48 hours of the operation.
That they have achieved that while attempting to limit infrastructure damage and civilian casualties is commendable.
Frankly the U.S. and our Canada are sinking Lower by the day in world standings.
Cheers!
Dekester, were you ever familiar during your boyhood in Glasgow with the board game Risk?
It was a game of military “strategery”. Lots of fun for those interested in that sort of thing.
Ever since this whole debacle started, I suspect the military brass at the Pentagon and the ” intelligence services” got out their board games and plotted their strategies based on that game.
They did not/do not understand their enemy Putin. His motives, his objectives, his thinking, his ability to conduct a war such as has been going on. They are, I’ve decided, completely clueless, believing in their own superiority but in fact have proven themselves frauds and incompetents of the first water.
And like you and those you know, I’ve been sourcing information elsewhere as well, not Western sources. In doing so, it’s so easy to see the Western media’s unhinged propaganda look sillier by the day.
Today in that rag, the Daily Mail, there was a huge headline about how Putin (again) has not one, but multiple deadly diseases with only seconds to live…according to an agent from Ukraine. Honestly!!
Gormless. That’s the adjective I’d use to describe the lot of them.
Blessings as always. B
Risk was the bomb. When I was in college we used to go up and visit these guys who lived in a great old house in Woodside, NoCal-heated by pot-belllied stoves. About 10-15 of us would have these giant marathon Risk games-funny, the key to holding Europe was…the Ukraine!
Confirms my suspicions, Wendy. Thank you!
(I bet you had the time of your life…good times.)
We did, it was awesome. Fri-Sat night Risk and co-ed slumber parties, then football Sun morning.
I love to reminisce as well. I call memories like that “mental cocktails”. My cabinet is full of them, just like yours.
Do you mean the military brass that has not won a war since WWII? /s
Yes…that one.😁
I have no idea where the Mail gets its information from…Beano perhaps???….. There are other sources that are more proffessional!
I think they hire creative writing students from Oxford…you know, those Rhodes Scholar types, like B Clinton and the idiot who is the current “Transportation ” Secretary. People like that.
‘Creative writing’..???? oh right…Fiction…gotcha!
Otherwise known as….correct.
Everything happening here is wilful and it is anti-human by choice. People are just fodder as they always have been.
You are correct. See Uvalde. It turns my stomach.
Hi Betsy,
Yes we knew of the board game Risk.
The U.S. military still has egg on its face from the Afghan tragedy.
They will have an omelette on their faces when this is done.
I too read bits of the D.M. and Independent U.K. today.
Putin must have been at least quadruple boosted to have contracted as many serious illnesses as he has.😂
Gormless is precisely how my Granny described me. ( one of her kinder descriptions)

Spot on!
Think they’re a little threatened by Bad Vlad? They spent the first afternoon talking about competing with him shirtless.
And as I said earlier, they were green with envy…and it showed.
I have also been following.
And not on the MSM!
Can you name anything Biden has done since being installed as POTUS that is NOT an unmitigated disaster? I’m sure it’s a disaster for some poor SS operative every time he goes poo poo in his pants.
He has successfully kept the American citizens from knowing about or even investigating the contents of Hunter’s laptops, their email conversations, his contacts, his income and many more “issues” about the Biden “family”!
Only one thing – he did a bang-up job stealing the 2020 election, but I guess that doesn’t count, since that happened before he was installed.
This ‘War’ was lost the day we became involved instead of sticking to agreements.
All we have seen is biased reporting from MSM that dont know their a.. from their elbow trying to make us believe that Ukrainians were good guys and winning.
Six months ago they wanted Ukrainians well away from NATO and the EU…why???? because of corruption the EU said…….. but now they are apparently poster boys.
The ONLY reason its lasted so long is that the Russians did not want to kill civilians.. yet MSM would have us believe they are being hammered by Zelensky who….by the way…has no command over the forces….. some very interesting guys do.
Zelensky has refused the request from the EU today……to negotiate with Russia (who has been trying to right from the start) because he says he wants to win more ground and increase his bargaining position, when his best position was to exercise the Minsk treaty as they promised. Not a single person would have died.
Now with the EU supplying weapons its likely that the Russians will take all of Ukraine and Zelensky will be needing a new home.
Zelenssky is a real ugly little POS. He shouldn’t have the same first name as Putin, even though it’s spelled retarded. “Volodymyr” is just so Festrunk Brothers.
I hear he has a very very posh house in Florida waiting for him.
And THAT is the problem as with many politicians……… they steal and cheat knowing that for their ‘co-operation’ they will be rewarded while so many die……
I saw picture of his Italian Villa where his wife is currently vacationing.

Biden’s crude comments need to be refined 🙂
GROAN! LOLROTF
President Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Monday stepped in to interrupt French President Emmanuel Macron as he broke bad news to Biden — with journalists feet away — about attempts to get Arab nations to produce more oil to lower record gas prices.
“Careful. Maybe we should just step inside … because of the cameras,” Sullivan said, motioning to journalists covering the G-7 summit in Germany.
https://nypost.com/2022/06/27/biden-aide-interrupts-as-macron-spills-bad-news-about-oil-crisis/
This is surreal. Macron looks visibly terrified and Biden doesn’t know where he is…
It’s like the last days of the Third Reich-Boys and old men sent to fight the Russians. Quite pathetic if not still very dangerous.
Just imagine. 200,000, young people on the Ukraine side and some say close to 30,000, on the Russian side. No need for any of it. The evil people in charge of the West are responsible for that and so much more.
If there is an uprising and these people forced out, they should be made to clean up Ukraine by forced labor. Chain gangs and 20 hour work days. Flogging for any sloth.
They had to fight though. The bolsheviks were slaughtering germans that surrendered or were civilians. Rape and murder constantly. I would consider it courageous to fight til the last man/boy if my peoples women and children would be subjected to what they were. The bolsheviks are the worst people to ever walk the earth. The west like all sides had their atrocities too. German atrocities are greatly exaggerated. Just like modern bolsheviks/democrats blame the opposition for what you do.
The Russians raped & butchered their way into Germany because the Germans did the same to them
on their way into Russia. The hatred ran deep on both sides.
People dying because of no heat this coming winter and then lack of food will have Macron thinking seriously about another French Revolution in his Country, especially since he has no power anymore. They all know what is coming this winter. I wonder who is going to be the 1st Country to tell the other EU members to shove it. Going to get interesting. I guess the EU Countries are telling Little Greta to pound sand.
Anyone who voted for Macron asked for it and deserves it.
These are all clowns that need to be discarded for the sake of our existence.
Macron should tell Jake Sullivan to STFU.
Jake “The Snake” has no clue either.
Seems like Macron and the German and maybe Japan are finally waking up to reality. The US, UK, Canada, Australia and NZ apparently have not figured out what happens when people in the northern hemisphere start starving and freezing.

Russian oil exports up 12% in 2022 as demand persists: Novak
https://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/russian-oil-exports-up-12-in-2022-as-demand-persists-novak
Oil is a fungible commodity that makes it way around the world no matter what the obstacles are. More oil that’s available benefits everybody when the supply is artificially restricted.
Oil is NOT fungible. All planetary locations do not produce exactly the same stuff. The variation is enough such that every source is not usable by every user.
Okay, it’s fungible for the most part either making diesel or gasoline with some modifications.
Birds of a feather?
No, vultures of a feather.
Ah, the Russian squeeze on energy prices. All Vlad’s fault. Never mind the squeeze on energy prices imposed by the largest most powerful economy on earth without which Vlad could no more put the squeeze on a stupid Germany and EU than he could sprout wings and fly. The Russian contribution to the increase in energy prices started way after our contribution and pales in comparison. The planet must be saved if they have to kill every single one of us to do it. Too many of our youngsters have been brainwashed to believe it would be better that way. It appears far too many spend most of their time reflecting upon their own sexuality and little else. I guess this is the end result of sexualizing the world through television and movies. Apparently, many can think of little else, so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised how little they know of the world they have been raised to hate as an oppressor.
PDJT stated that by 2021 the U.S. oil production was set to exceed the COMBINED output of SA, and Russia, COMBINED.
So, yes if Brandon had just left things as they were when he illegally stole his way into the Oval, the U.S. could totally “cover” the shortfall resulting from the Russian oil sanctions.
I look at that top photo and think to myself, what a great place for a claymore. Of course I would add Biden in there first and tell him to smile and wait for the flash…

Interesting perspective.
Although not true for all of Canada, but much of Canada is doing rather well.
Of course we were better off
In all regards with President Trump at the helm.
However..what has always interested me and this has been the case for decades.
Canadians are allowed Great perks not afforded many working class Americans.
We have no military to speak of, and rely entirely on the U.S. our violent crime rate is Miniscule when compared with the U.S.
Although far from perfect the “ average Joe” is unlikely to incur catastrophic losses should they require life saving treatments.
My point is American politicians appear to put other countries ( particularly Canada’s) well being ahead of Americans.

US Oil Drilling Rig Count 06/24 Up 10 last week.
Total Rigs 2022 (Wk./Wk.)
+13 = 753 total
Oil (Wk./Wk.)
+10 = (594)
Gas (Wk./Wk.)
+3 = (157)
Total Oil Rigs in 2021 = 470
We are currently almost double the number of oil rigs at the end of 2021!
Joe you have demonstrated your ignorance and prejudices before so UNLESS and UNTIL you can document your “facts” please keep them to yourself as nobody that who has noted who and what you are gives a dang what you think.

California Joe is getting his oil data from Barchart News which reports every morning on data received from Energy Agencies and the American Petroleum Institute’s weekly inventory report. California Joe is spot-on.
Thank you. The cure for high oil prices is, well, high oil prices!
The time for scale up and logistics simply won’t happen soon enough for what the western world’s illegitimate leaders have already foolishly set in motion.
The only solution is for them to admit that they are idiots and reverse policies.
Well, that ain’t happening.
They are stupid enough to think they can tell Venezuela to open the valve and the oil will magically flow.
Jorge Vilches at the Vineyard of the Sakar has written several analytical pieces pointing out that it will be a multi-year engineering process for all users of Russian Urals oil to replace with non-Urals.
It simply won’t happen to replace it tomorrow, the machinery would get destroyed. For the industrial base it’s not like simply switching gasoline brands.
I love the Saker!
I’m still expecting these euro countries to demand that biden and the Canadian goofball to drill, refine the oil and send it to Europe.
Rumor has it that some of “Biden’s release of US Reserve Oil” has already been shipped to European refiners.
Up till recently, the dream of the green energy reset was mostly idealist hype. That so many in positions of power used to hide their motives. Now the realities of an oil deprived world are exploding that fantasy.
In a way, these sanctions are destroying the illusion of full dependence on alternative sources more dramatically than anything else might have.
👍👍
Even donkeys here in our Canada are getting the message.
The big one is Germany firing up coal plants 😂
Apparently U.S. coal exports to European nations are up 4% this year..the U.S. is second to Russia in exports to Europe.
Several grades of coal have shot up over 100% in price of late.
😂😂
I agree, wet dream fantasy runs SMACK into REALITY, and it ain’t pretty.
What a bunch of freaking retards.
China, Russia, Iran & Venezuela are laughing their asses off.
When the so called free world is run by dumb and dumber they come up with ideas like this. The real solution is drill baby drill. We have enough oil and gas deposits in the USA to end this manmade crises. We can expand and reopen existing US refineries and build new ones. If the so called leaders of the free world would just get the hell out of the way the shortages would go away.
They will pay top dollar supporting the number one terrorist nation in the world and another dictator. Meanwhile Putin sells oil and gas to China, India and other nations not sucking the Davos teets.
This just seems like a good way to enable and enrich terrorists and dictators to me.
With all the bad news and disasters of the past year, the 5 in the picture seem exceedingly happy.

“There are resources elsewhere that need to be explored,” a French official said on the sidelines of a G7 summit in Germany, when asked about how to alleviate high oil prices.
The G7 could paper the world in solar cells, or maybe the fuel requirements could be reduced by reducing the number of people that need fuel. We are back to Depopulation again. If you can’t afford the gas then there are fewer people driving, if you can’t afford the electric cars who will be driving them. The list continues, but it just keeps going back to we are in their way. OR, they are in our way.
Iran and Venezuela are founding members of OPEC and allied with Russia and China. Russia is part of the OPEC+ group of non-members.
Wonder what Plan B is should they say no?
I think the World IS noticing, I really do.
The United States should never have put sanctions on Venezuelan oil in the first place. What did Venezuela do to the United States that would warrant having it’s oil exports sanctioned? The pretext used for this action was the failed CIA-State Department color revolution.
What was the rationale for putting sanctions on Iranian oil? What did Iran do to the United states to warrant such action? As with Venezuelan sanctions these sanctions ultimately hurt American consumers because it restricted supplies of oil.
If there are any good reasons why these sanctions were warranted and were good for the American consumers I would like to hear about them because I can’t think of any.
Personally, in this photograph I see five men who have spent far(!) too much time seeking photo-ops such as this one … and in the most-privileged locations in which such photos can be taken … instead of actually doing their very difficult(!) jobs.

As most of us here at TCT know, President Biden is nothing but a puppet. He was selected, not elected. The people pulling his strings – the Puppet Masters – use Biden to achieve their desired goals, and the Puppet Masters can do this because Biden and his son are severely compromised individuals.
Blackmail is the primary “currency” of geopolitics. If the Puppet Masters don’t have dirt on a politician in order to control them, that politician is targeted for removal – like President Trump. If they don’t have dirt on you, they just make a crock of crap up, like Russia, Russia, Russia and use their corrupt and compromised media pawns to spin a web of lies and deceit that gets repeated over and over again until people actually believe the propaganda, which is exactly what happened to President Trump.
I will refer to President Select Biden as Blackmail Biden from here on out. Monickers are powerful, especially when they’re true. “Crooked Hillary,” is but one example. Blackmail Biden is quite fitting. The FBI has had Hunter’s laptop for over two years now and we hardly hear anything about it from the corrupt corporate press. Why not?
Probably because most of the corporate prestitutes are compromised as well. If anyone steps out of line, they’re toast. If Blackmail Biden disobeys a direct order from his Puppet Masters, out comes the laptop. Blackmail is the most powerful force in politics, which is why most politicians are corrupt as hell. It is incredibly difficult to get into elected office if one is not compromised and incapable of being blackmailed.
The mafia uses blackmail as a means to control everyone in its orbit. From politicians, to journalists, to the local sewage plant operator, they have crap on everybody. If anybody steps out of line, they got whacked, and the local police department or Sheriff’s department would cover it up because they are compromised and blackmailed too, like Vegas.
Many judges are blackmailed (Roberts), jurists are blackmailed, District Attorneys are blackmailed, lawyers and attorneys are blackmailed, professors, teachers, plumbers, electricians, law clerks, even your local pizza guy is not immune from being blackmailed by the political mob. That’s the way the mafia works. They get dirt on everyone.
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell are prime examples. They had compromising information on a lot of big wigs in geopolitics, the media, courts, universities, etc. Now Ghislaine is on “suicide watch,” but I’m sure the cameras will once again malfunction if she supposedly decides to hang herself with a roll of toilet paper.
I would not be surprised if Ghislaine Maxwell and Hunter Biden are found dead in the near future for they both know too much.
So how in the world do We The People defeat this corrupt, compromised, blackmailed society of people that control us? Calling them out for the crooks they are is half the battle, but they’re all “protected.” So what do we do? Do we become the mob in order to defeat the mob? That is a horrible idea. Do we act like the enemy in order to defeat the enemy? No. You don’t act like the monster in order to defeat it.
So what should we do, or should I say did do? The exact opposite of what our enemies expected. We embraced our enemies and let them fail, which is exactly what President Trump did. Give them all of the rope they needed to hang themselves by their own accord. I think that is exactly what happened after the 2020 election. All we need to do now is kick the groomer of the stool beneath them and let them hang high and dry.
From Chris Wray to Bill Barr and everyone in between the Swamp, President Trump exposed a lot of creatures. Instead of attacking his enemies, he hired a lot of them and let them do what they do best – Fail. The failures reputations are now forever tarnished and tainted with the scum of the Earth. In doing so, President Trump defeated them and won.
The mob won the battle in 2020, but inevitably lost the war.
In some articles on oil refining, there seems to be a difference in the chemistry of oil from different areas of the world that requires changes in processing and in the infrastructure for refining. A factory that processes petroleum from Russia wouldn’t automatically be able to process petroleum from Venezuela, for example, to make a standard diesel product.
First, the EU would have to locate a source of oil which could ramp up production enough to supply all of Europe on top of their present customers. This source would also have to be able to meet EU standards for their petroleum products.
Chemists would have to study the oil (of this currently unknown source) and determine what specifications would be required of this producer and what would need to be done to the petroleum to have a standard product. Oil refineries would have to convert their facilities to be able to refine this product to EU standards; engineers would be needed to re-design production with the newly sourced oil.
New long-term contracts with an oil producer will have to be written and any specifications met by the oil producer. There would need to be sufficient tests of the product to make sure of meeting standards.
More transport may be needed – more trucks, trains, ships – with materials for making trucks, trains, ships bought, contracted, along with more operators hired for the new transportation.
Some of the European harbor infrastructure will have to be enlarged or modified for the off-loading of petroleum with contracts for those changes and contracts with harbor facilities for their use. There will be a need for more chemists, scientists to test and make any modifications in the product, check that the modifications work as needed and as specified by EU green energy laws.
And all of Europe would be needing the same things all at the same time, so there will be shortages of people and materials for the conversion to a new petroleum source. All of this done with billions in money that Europe doesn’t have (they also have a lot of debt) and with soaring inflation and recession and food shortages.
And the EU countries are going to do all of this by January – 6 months! These G7 leaders are idiots.

Or is anyone even looking for “that thing” that assuredly HATES that the US has so much black gold, Texas Tea, that it made the Jeb on an old show “The Beverly Hillbilly’s” a millionaire and cause him to round up the truck and move to Beverly?
Even with a summer cold that won’t leave its grip on me, I would call this energy fiasco the “great rewind” all back to the Obbummer years. Why does this entity (who I imagine is so much more than him/it) hate America so much? Why is oil that is home grown so much worse than from other’s who have much less of this resource? And have so many axes to grind with the US? It doesn’t add up and mayhaps never will,
Best I can ken, or get inside of the minds of “world leaders,” they are taking a “short position” and are betting their energy gamble against the US using their citizens’ dollars no less. Just can’t wait to bring the US to its knees.
Ain’t going to work EVER. Just try to hide you preliminary boners (at the very thought of destroying the US) in your pants the next time you pose for a photo op. It is a premature…. you know what.
God bless us each and every one. These dopes need our prayers to get an inner compass.
Oh, and these dorks have never, ever, as yet accepted that America became a country in its own grand right by throwing off the MONARCHIES. They have NEVER EVER forgiven us for that. Gawd, how long will they be grinding axes and nursing their grudge that the US citizens dared to tell them, we are done with your tyranny?
France’s Emmanuel Macron Drops Truth on Joe Biden About His Insane Energy Policies

There is no such thing as “global warming” or “climate change”. It’s a fantasy. The truth is that lunatic Libs simply hate fossil fuels because they are emblematic of unfettered capitalism. Fossil fuels power the capitalist engine, and if they can shut them down, they shut down capitalism. Libs also hate the cleanest, safest source of energy: nuclear power, proving yet again that they simply hate capitalism and will do anything to shut it down. THEY need to be shut down as they are nuts.
The US has been sanctioning Russia since 2014 in various ways. Maybe it’s time to stop thinking that this is communist Soviet Union, and learn to have proper diplomacy with this country. The fact that Russia as the global bogeyman is so ingrained in Western ideology, purposefully, was what made the Russia Russia Russia BS against Trump so acceptable. In any event, the sanctions that the West has put on Russia has only strengthened Russia, and made the West a laughing stock….to say nothing of the economic destruction its causing.
