U.S. looks at supporting anti-Russian insurgency in Ukraine

[icanhelp1]

Right...I get what you're saying, but I don't think you've thought through the execution. You don't just "open up all lands to drilling" and suddenly the market has a ton of oil.

We were already backlogged on new oil drilling when Biden took office. They could easily ramp those up and get more oil there, but oil companies probably don't want to act against their own interests.....they like drilling in Russia.

Right now the left owns Biden. Oil companies will not invest in a hostile environment.

As far as world markets, commodity markets: perceptions are realities. If the green party has commanding influence over fossil fuel production that perception will reverberate throughout the markets. It's very complicated when dealing with world markets bu if the US becomes the largest producer, exporter it changes the complexion of competition, takes the effect of influence from OPEC, Russia and Iran and gives the upper hand to Canada and the US. Tha alone will have an effect on p/bbl because of perception. We could have an LNG infrastructure up and running in a year to accommodate all the needs of europeans.

If Germany and Italy along with the US focus on LNG supply infrastructure we could destroy Russia's natural gas ambitions and eliminate any attempt at blackmail. That alone would bring stability to world markets.

Sure we can.

Good luck with that.

Up and running in a year? Germans will freeze and blame the US.

1. The US IS the world's largest producer
2. You keep saying the "the US should" do this or do that. Are you saying the government should nationalize production?

 

[icanhelp1]

Not saying we do or not.....Afghans throwing down their weapons has nothing to do with our training. You can't train the will to fight

Your exactly right. Training Ukrainians is not the same as training tribal muslims, however, that being said, in afghanistan the younger generation was being weaned off of muslim ideology and tribalism and was starting to enjoy the freedoms of western culture, had we stayed in Kabul we would have won the culture war. Afghanistan was a generational concept and we pulled out too soon. As long as we were no longer accruing combat fatalities we could have benefited greatly from a collaborative relationship with the Afghans. For one, mining precious metals.

Putin invaded a sovereign country. We want to stop him from being an asshole.

Sovereignty is important!!! For other countries... it's white nationalism for the USA.

No, I'm saying just lift governmental restrictions and create a positive environment for oil companies to invest in.

The question is why is Biden begging OPEC to produce more? Why is the US still buying oil from Russia at the higher price? Why has the Biden administration imposed stricter regulations on fracking? Why has the Biden administration again given the EPA unlimited power? Why is the Biden administration lobbying to force penalties on banks that interact with oil companies. Biden is not the king, he is imposing his will by E/O. I haven't mentioned all the shit he did with land management, restricting oil drilling on government land ( alaska) restricting offshore drilling, imposing strict regulations that would basically eliminate venture capital in research, drilling exploration and LNG infrastructure. He prefers to buy solar panels from countries whose environmental pollution controls are non-existence

We give the oil industry billions of dollars. Is that not enough positivity for ya?

They can drill more if they want to drill more. Even with the regulations in place. Their PR compaigns do well on the right wing to see them as a victim.

Almost none of that is true.

But it's a nice day out and I can't be arsed to school you.

Maybe in the near future you can take a stroll and pick some mushrooms.

Maybe you can point out what’s not true.

Republican governors Mike DeWine of Ohio and Spencer Cox of Utah have ordered the removal of Russian liquors from store shelves.

Where’s the outrage from the right for this blatant violation of our right to free commerce?

 

[icanhelp1]

I listened to his whole speech..backpedaling included, it was clear.

There's no doubt that along with those comments Trump should have include how evil Putin really is. It almost goes without saying. Evil people can also be smart, even genius. Trump has praised China for taking advantage of US trade policy making a mockery of US politicians, all done to advance policies that benefit the american people not politicians.

Utah and Ohio -- those 2 states with hardcore Libtard Communist values taking their cue from that Fascist Authoritarian in Canaduh.

So, Biden believes that firearms are an effective tool against a tyrannical government.

The very fact that there is such a thing as a stae-owned liquor store is an affront to the free market.

He only includes things that affect him personally

You mean like when Obama stated "you can keep your doctor" just vote for ACA. What politician doesn't include things that affect them in a positive light. Nothing original in your statement.

According to the memorandum, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they agreed to the following:

1. Respect Belarusian, Kazakh and Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments.

Russia is clearly in violation. US and UK are duty bound to protect the Ukraine. It was part of the deal of getting them to give up their nukes.

What you're failing to realize is that Putin is delusional, Putin thinks the Budapest Memorandum was crafted to give him the sole authority to invade his neighbors and name him czar.
