We are concerned about our own recession and an energy crisis in Europe.... Cutting off Russia could put oil at $150 a barrel. It will be done eventually but Putin knew this would be hard for us and banked on us not doing it.
i don't think pootie has the charisma that hitler did. he might induce fear in his people, but there will hardly be any motivation in the russians to destroy their country even more than it's already been this past week.
all the more reason for Europe and US to be more energy independent. We could export oil & gas to Europe if needed?
We could but it's not as easy or cheap as a Russian pipeline. It will affect prices by a lot. Gas especially requires major infrastructure to liquefy for transport. There's only a few places than can even do that and more require a lot of time to build. This crisis will spur that infrastructure and more green energies, Russia is making themselves obsolete on so many levels over Ukraine. They will basically be like North Korea soon

it's kinda wild to see so much social media uproar over civilians being killed. where was all this in Afghanistan/Iraq?
Because Afghanistani's don't have smart phones and internet access like Ukrainians? Idk, that'd be my guess though.
I am still holding out hope that this is just the official line to avoid being attacked by Russia and they are quietly transferring planes.
This is like watching a car wreck in slow motion. Russia's obviously holding back, its only a matter of time they go hard.
did you have a look at my next post on the previous page? media coverage hasn't exactly been subtle with the racism.
The Texan filming propaganda videos thing? I saw but am not in a place to watch. I'll check it out later.
