    Please stop gaslighting. You know Democrats care deeply about Domestic investment so you create this either or scenario. I don’t know what your affinity is for Putin and Russia but it’s a bit out of hand.

    I like your posts typically Glynch and you know we are on the same side of many many issues. But your viewpoint on the American side of Ukraine is over the top.

    Lord knows we have the ability to gaslight the hell out of you on your view of the war in Palestine. I think you have in you to be much more intellectually consistent and see the world through the eyes of someone who thinks the US is capable of some good instead of US Bad/ (Let’s not talk about Russia).

    So Sen. Graham is all for a no interest waivable loan for a foreign country but was against student loan forgiveness for educating U.S. citizens...the hypocrisy is just laughable.

    Please refrain from derailing the Ukraine thread with Trump nonsense.

    Doesn't that make Russia the warmonger?

    He threatens to nuke the West every 4 months. Might it be time to take that seriously?

    Historically, Russias greatest export has been soldiers to the battlefields.

    That said, I haven't heard Putin threatening to nuke the west. He has stated he will use them if Russia is attacked. In other words, proxy wars are cool.

    No, Russia is not a threat. You of all people should know China doesn't want a large scale war. They will stop supporting Russia, and without China, Russia is in trouble.

    The real threat is NATO falling apart, especially if Europe falls under serious economic duress. The probability is much greater than the other fantasies. This could lead to a wide scale war.

    @Space Ghost biden folks aren't braindead morons. Theyre focused on energy prices nd gas prices and rightfully keeping ukraine in check. That's my issue with donkeys like David sacks. We've been handicapping ukraine all along and right fully so.

    Good for biden for keeping things in prospective. Gas prices >>>>>>>

    So let me get this straight -

    Putin invades Ukraine, driving out all of the big energy companies looking to speculate on Ukraines NG fields. Since, Russia has build a continuous logistics line directly to the battlefield. The occupation is big enough to contain inside of Ukraine but small enough for Russian air defenses to prevent any sort of air superiority. Further, Russia's inept military has Europe scared to the point that all the EU states are clamoring to get into NATO. Now that they are in NATO, these states can no longer offer troop support to Ukraine w/out fear of making this a much larger conflict.
    And here is the best part! Ukraine is attacking Russia's most vulnerable spot, its oil production and lil Bidey is chastising Ukraine because energy prices might go up.

    I have never been anti Ukraine. I have simply said Europe needs to handle it. But to tell Ukraine they can't attack certain segments of Russia because some entitled administration is afraid they will lose the election is proof that push our arrogant policies way too far.

    What are you going to do if Putin stops exporting energy in Sept-Oct? And the Saudis decide to cut back on supply?

    Issue a export ban and keep refined gasoline in the usa??? The usa is pumping more oil than any other country in the world?? We don't technically need anyone else. The reason we aren't doing it now is cuz we don't want to stab Europe in the back



    usa doesn't need anyone else for literally anything



    Braindead MAGA @Salvy don't realize how amazing usa is doing right now in literally everything. They're brainwashed by fox negativity all day. Renewables are at record levels, oil is at record levels.

    The USA is winning at every front

    "I cannot afford to live" while unemployment is at record lows, job satisfaction is at record high, household debt is at pre pandemic levels, % of income spent on food is same pre covid but sure lol









    You dipshits just lie non stop about the economy. If this was trumps economy with stock market being at 5200 you'd be hugging his nuts.
