    A Ukrainian woman confronted Russian soldiers in Henychesk, Kherson region. She asked them why they came to our land and urges them to put sunflower seeds in their pockets so that flowers would grow when they die on the Ukrainian land.

    Former US presidents on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine:

    Clinton: “Brazen violation”

    GWB: “The gravest security crisis on the European continent since World War II”

    Obama: “A brazen attack on the people of Ukraine, in violation of international law”

    Trump: “ I mean he’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. That’s pretty smart”

    YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

    Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn just issued a statement blaming Biden because he “ignored and laughed at Putin’s legitimate security concerns, and legitimate ethnic problems in the Ukraine,” … while we continuing “to demonize Russia.”

    Now we've heard from another traitor & Putin puppet.

    I'm old enough to remember when Russia was the enemy & not the GOP's BFF.

    An excerpt from I Alone Can Fix It by Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker suggests what might have been:

    “In fact, Trump had privately indicated that he would seek to withdraw from NATO and to blow up the U.S. alliance with South Korea, should he win reelection. When those alliances had come up in meetings with Esper and other top aides, some advisers warned Trump that shredding them before the election would be politically dangerous.”

    Said Trump: “Yeah, the second term. We’ll do it in the second term.”

    Just in case if you were wondering

The far locations you reference are not cost effective at all, the reason for the supply surge and the awesome but faux image of being self sufficient was due to the fracking increase not the fringe mega cap Alaska ventures that firms like Exxon would need to bring their infrastructure to make happen. Oil being high and rates being low is why our supply went up, and yes there is an environmental cost especially to fracking, its an awful way to get sour crappy crude out of the ground and it is irrefutable that the process causes horrid impacts to the water table, you cannot even try to deny that.

     

    for sure it's not. But when Biden was campaigning he kept saying they weren't going to stop fracking. Then when he was elected, they stopped fracking. Now our gas prices have gone from under $2.00/gallon to in my area $3.59 per gallon. Whether the oil comes from here, there or everywhere, it's bad for the planet to a point. But it seems like it's only bad here in the States. They are trying to blame everything but Biden's policies on why everything is higher cost, but it comes down to failed liberal policies and that you surely can't say isn't true. We had Covid during Trump's time and no inflation.

The far locations you reference are not cost effective at all, the reason for the supply surge and the awesome but faux image of being self sufficient was due to the fracking increase not the fringe mega cap Alaska ventures that firms like Exxon would need to bring their infrastructure to make happen. Oil being high and rates being low is why our supply went up, and yes there is an environmental cost especially to fracking, its an awful way to get sour crappy crude out of the ground and it is irrefutable that the process causes horrid impacts to the water table, you cannot even try to deny that.

     

    for sure it's not. But when Biden was campaigning he kept saying they weren't going to stop fracking. Then when he was elected, they stopped fracking. Now our gas prices have gone from under $2.00/gallon to in my area $3.59 per gallon. Whether the oil comes from here, there or everywhere, it's bad for the planet to a point. But it seems like it's only bad here in the States. They are trying to blame everything but Biden's policies on why everything is higher cost, but it comes down to failed liberal policies and that you surely can't say isn't true. We had Covid during Trump's time and no inflation.

    Constantin Buynichev, head of RU tactical unit surrendered together with his comrades.

    “We didn’t want to kill anyone…”.

    Something tells me Constantin & his comrades won't be returning home to Russia.

    Russians: This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you’ll be bombed.

    Ukrainians: Russian warship, go fuck yourself.

    They were all killed.

    President Zelensky confirmed the event and said the border guards died bravely defending the island and would be posthumously awarded the Hero of Ukraine medal.

    Its in the middle of nowhere with nothing on it. Why would the Russian navy bother with this place?

    Because control of the Black Sea is essential.

    It's going to get much, much worse for the people of Ukraine.

    @Jarrett75

     Biden's policies are not why this happened, it is supply and demand only, it will take another few years for government policy alone impacts prices especially since a high percentage of supply and demand is not from the US, oil is a world wide product, world wide consumption.

    When did oil go below 30? When did oil capex start being crimped and outright eliminated? When did frackers, drillers and producers start slowing supply and especially exploration and when did MANY go out of business? THAT is when the impact starts taking place, not when Trump was in office or Biden was in office. When big companies are hurting so bad that they cut and eliminate their dividend, cut production, go out of business then you know supply is going to come down...and even with a small uptick in demand the time it takes to explore and drill/frack and get that supply into the queue is a very long time and it does not take much to send a price shock and that is exactly what happened. I never considered the overall cost of fracking to be worth the marginal supply benefit, fracking is extremely destructive and Trump did not give two craps about that, he was the dope who allowed that horrid pipeline to go forward not giving any concern to the short and long term consequences of a dirty pipeline so that refiners in Texas can get more Canadian sour to refine and ship to China. There has to be a balance between impact and cost and it would be better if we reduced demand more than allowing destructive marginal supply via fracking and using our land to ship foreign sour to refine and ship to China.

    I find this whole go green movement ignorant! Yes we need to move from fossil fuels. Not the way these idiots are doing it.

    So these Europeon countries shutdown their own nuke plants, pipelines, etc. and then buy their energy from adversaries. What could go wrong??? an_roll_laugh

    We shutdown dirty pipelines and continue to transport by diesel trucks. We beg countries that are not "democracies" to produce more oil and then ship it around the globe and to us.

    China is on a mission to build coal fired power plants and we act like we are going to save the planet by going green. Russia is selling China 100 million tons of coal and Australia over 30 million tons. Nevermind says John Kerry we all need to suffer and save the planet. Now he is worried how much climate damage the war in Ukraine will cause and hopes Putin will focus on climate change. 

    It's insane!!

    All former Presidents see the serious nature of the invasion but even though you say you don't support Trump, you still defend his nonsense every chance you get.

    If the Democrats came out publicly promoting "football, apple pie, and motherhood,"
