War in Ukraine

[AM64]

So, the world is supposed to sit back and watch Russia and China ransack Ukraine because Russia can’t get the job done on their own?

I thought that was decided when everybody said we have to wring our hands and bow because Putin has nukes.

I guess that for the US the great globalism business plan isn't working out any better than just in time delivery.

I remember those days when our inventory went from 30 days to negative days and the management pucker factor was extremely high. Just because management F'd up didn't fix stuff any faster.

The world sat back and let The Biden Family, The Kerry family and others in this country ransack it. WTF you mad about now?

Job market is pretty hot if your looking to make a move.

You’re implying an incorrect causation.

 

[AM64]

That's interesting that you would mention Texas during this time.

You joining hog and saying we'd be better without Texas? I also get the other irony when people tend to forget that most of South and Central America were colonized by Europeans just like we were. It's just so easy to think about holding poor neighbors to the south down if we don't discuss the Spanish conquest and just consider all those good people on the other side of the border as indigenous.

I bet her Secret Service moniker is something like cackles or laffs a lot.

Hmmm... now is this real news or fake news? Who actually is reporting this?

Reporting standards matter?

He's giving a warning to the Northern Hemisphere and to people who like to eat. This is going to affect not just Russia... if farmers can't plant, food will be in shortage and prices will go sky high.

Maybe Putin should have thought of that BEFORE invading his own bread basket

 

[Hunerwadel]

So your definition of fine is Russia is leveling Ukraine cities and we are begging dictators for oil while never even considering drilling oil in our own country? Are you a religious man?

Of course I'm not ok with what Russia is doing.
If we had increased oil production to our absolute maximum capacity and started as many new wells as possible on 1/20/2021 it would not have made 1 cent of difference in energy prices today. Energy policy is a long term proposition and we've never had a consistent policy.
And no I'm not religious. I don't know if there's a god or not.

She has obviously had her throat-brain stem connections severed because she speaks like a really stupid person.

So doing nothing because it would take a year or two is a reason to not do anything then? You know that your political party will never ever come into to power ever again because of this disaster that is what we are living now don't you?

False. It is a supply vs demand issue. Increased supply would clearly reduce price. Economics 101

Or she could just be a really stupid person. Maybe dems just prefer their "superiors" be like themselves - joe and kami certainly won't make the average dem feel intellectually inferior.

 

[kiddiedoc]

I don't hate you. I just question why you would want to promote this view. You'd have to believe the entire world was engaged in a massive conspiracy to mislead about what is going on.

Well, basically the whole world did that very thing to us for the past two years....

I wish I could agree, but don't bet 81M of the quick and the dead (and many between of indeterminate status) will reaffirm the dem platform.

I guess we'll see.

I’m not so sure about your last statement. Unfortunately, voters have short memories.

They have to offer something to get voted into office. I think they've proved that what they have to offer is nothing more than misery and hate for white people.

Yes, it's not that hard. Flood the market with oil and prices tumble.

 

[VolStrom]

I guess we'll see.

You don't sound too optimistic in your party?

CNN says they are hearing this from the US.

Russia has requested military assistance from China in Ukraine
From CNN’s Jim Sciutto

Russia has asked China for military assistance in Ukraine, including drones, a senior US official said Sunday.
CNN has reached out to the Russian and Chinese embassies in the US for comment but did not receive an immediate response.

Love the concept, but just to play devil's advocate, how exactly does a Russian pilot take his/her plane and defect? Pretty confident this ends up with an explosion and debris.

 

[***RoadVol***]

He didn't create any of those jobs. Those were jobs that were put on pause due to the COVID lockdowns.

I didn't say he did. He asked a question and I answered. Am I wrong?

So we were an energy exporter at the end of 2020 but now we can't be? So is there like an oil well light switch other than EO's that we don't know about?
