False.
As of Nov 2021, US natural gas production was at an all time high.
Also as of Nov 2021, US crude oil production was at its highest level since April 2020, and higher than any time in history prior to October 2018.
50K German troops back in Ukraine, where horrific fighting occurred between Wehrmacht/SS and Soviet forces ala 1941-43, plays right into Putin's and Russian nationalist hands. Nein. Nyet. Preferably a multi-national NATO peacekeeping force, but be prepared for escalation. German Bundeswehr has already deployed an armored task force to Poland.
Utterly insane.
i think one of the strategic shifts that will stem from this Ukrainian conflict is an emerging/nascent EURO centric military assets and control mechanisms
NATO Jr without the United States?
I think France and Germany will spearhead the change in the spirit of Charlemagne
Just a personal belief - well see
(they know they can’t rely on the Cold War era alignments anymore)
"And, the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back, because the Cold War's been over for 20 years."- Barack Obama, pimping for said murderous tinpot dictator.
We all know why Obama loves him some Putin.
Right?
Of course Russia is already there and of course most former USSR satellites speak Russian. What I am referring to, however, is a contiguous border. Annexation of Ukraine is pretty much equal to annexation of Transnitria.
False. Look at the "Crude Oil" tab on your graph.
US oil production peaked in 2019 at 13 million barrels per day. Now, thanks to Biden’s burdensome regulations, production has stalled at 11.7 million barrels.
And does this include Canadian oil? Keystone pipeline? Why are we now turning to OPEC? Also, shutting down the leases will affect the future production as we continue to need more energy.
Germany is probably least likely to commit troops. Poland likely won't either. We really can't have one with out the other. If Poland commits troops for direct conflict, that means NATO has agreed to engage Russia directly. They will (or should) work in unison.
Poland is the country who will be most affected by Russia annexing Ukraine. It will lead to mass migration in Poland and remove the buffer between them and the Ruskies. On top of that, Poland and Ukraine have their own history and many Pols are hesitant to welcome Ukrainians. There is already immigration politics in Poland around that issue.
Agreed. Global thermal nuclear war will not matter as long as we go to a bowl and the final 4.
Ninth National Championship vs Russian annexation of Ukraine...
I'd have to think about it.
Nothing I said was false. Current production is the highest since April 2020, and higher now than any time prior to October 2018. Here's a longer time scale on the crude you can look at to see that I was right.
Imports from Canada are much more volatile, bouncing up and down by month, but are at similar levels as pre-pandemic, and are currently higher than any time prior to mid 2018.
You'd think the "burdensome regulations are hurting our production" meme would have died when the right was saying it amid the largest increases in natural gas and crude oil production EVER that we saw during the Obama admin. Don't read this as me giving Obama credit for the boom - technology improvements did that. Just showing the lie that is "their regulations are shutting down out production."
"highest since April 2020, and higher now than any time prior to October 2018"
Yeah, I can cherry pick windows of time to make it seem like I have a point too, but I try to be intellectually honest.
You can pick the start of the pandemic and say it's gone up a little since, but that is to be expected given the shutdown. And that says nothing about the current production ability which has been reduced, thus OPEC.
You can leave out data points to suit you (2019) and make a true statement, but that does not support your claim that I was wrong.
You started with your conclusion - "Biden's regulations shut down production" and steadfastly cling to that trying to make reality conform to your belief rather than your belief conform to reality. No, we have not fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels. My point was there has been a good degree of recovery, that we aren't decreasing, and we're still near historic highs.
Here's marketwatch in December on the recovery of US oil production. While the article does mention vague "not great relationship between Biden and oil producers" that might affect investors' confidence, there are no actual regulations in place mentioned as affecting production. And this comes after their quoted industry insider explains, in December:
This quoted industry insider forecasts about 6% increase in production over 2022, which would take us back to late 2019 production levels and erase 2/3 of the gap between current output and the pre-pandemic high.
Politards only have one hammer, "Everything's the fault of the politicans that aren't in my party," and they hammer it ceaselessly, ignoring any and all other factors that contribute to an issue.
Massive cyber attacks today on Ukraine. I just wonder when/if Putin moves troops into other regions of Ukraine. A little slower than I thought, but who knows.
I think Putin is going to feign invading Ukraine proper and get concessions from NATO to back down, including keeping the two regions he just seized. Probably will do something similar in a year or so when Biden has to hit the election campaign.
Belarus' other border crisis
Its border with Ukraine is under constant watch, but a few months ago, Belarus' border with Poland was the center of a migrant crisis.

Wannabe railroad commissioner posts TikTok video of herself TOPLESS
Sarah Stogner, 37, tweeted a video of her straddling an oil pumping jack while topless and without pants on on February 13 as a way to garner attention for her campaign.
This should get some bipartisan support.

Theory is that he wants to connect Crimea by land. The eastern part of Ukraine is ethnically Russian. Most speak Russian and see themselves as Russian.
Draw a line from Donetsk to Kherson and that is probably the minimum of what Putin is wanting to pry away from Ukraine.
I'm the politard? You're the one cherry picking and now using unsubstantiated projections... from CNN. No, we are NOT near historic highs. You can blame that on the pandemic, but you still have no basis for your assertion that production isn't being hindered.
I'll tell you what. When we surpass 2019 levels, the actual highest in history and we don't need to supplement with OPEC, you let me know.
CNN? I quoted Marketwatch (owned by Newscorp, no affiliation with CNN or Warner Media), interviewing "the lead energy analyst at The Economist Intelligence Unit," a division of The Economist, again no affiliation with CNN or Warner Media. That you jump straight to something about CNN just confirms that, yes, you're a politard.
I'll take that correction, but you still have no hard facts to support your claim regardless.
G would need to get agreement from another country to let their troops pass thru as G doesn't border U. Now Poland borders U & I'd trust their military over G's any day. They hate R.
It's difficult to prove a negative. I've shown that decreases in production post-pandemic are fairly small, are recovering, and in the opinion of investing publications and industry insiders, the gap between current production and pre-pandemic production is predominantly due to factors other than "burdensome regulations." The onus is on you to provide "hard facts" that such "burdensome regulations" are indeed responsible for current production levels. All you've provided is "cus I say so."
Speak Russian? Yes. Are ethnically Russian? No. Seem themselves as Russian? Hell no. Ukraine been independent for 30+ years. Those under 35 know nothing of being Russian. They view themselves as Western. And the 2014 invasions ended any positive vibes Ukrainians had for Russia.
Good to see some damn sanity prevailing around these parts
i was BEGINNING to think i was the only sane person trippin balls through this here thread
this time i mean “trippin balls” in the figurative sense
Yanukovych was pro Russia. Tymoshenko was pro Europe... You do the math and call it what you want. My family has been in America for over 150 years but I still know I have German ancestry. Doesn't mean everything but if a group starts to get really radical on the western side of the country I could see the eastern half saying "you know, Russia wasn't that bad compared to these neo nazi thugs".
Well he was already basically told a minor incursion would be ok.
Like I said, when we surpass the record high, which we're not even close to now, you may have a point, but as of now, you don't. And the way it's going, I don't expect you will. Oh, you'll also need to include the cost in your data. That's a little important. It seems to be going up. Get ready, it's going to go higher. Biden said so yesterday.
Shutting down pipelines, rewriting EPA regulations which increases production costs and discourages production and investment, delaying decisions on new oil and gas drilling on federal land, shifting to OPEC supplements, ... It's all part of the radical leftist GND agenda. Do you deny this? Gaslight much?
You don't have a leg to stand on and it's only going to get worse for you (and all of us).
The reason that I mention Germany specifically when it comes to troop movement is because Germany is the one European country that they can't afford to push too far. Russia needs Germany to get their gas to market. Germany gets a ton of natural gas from Russia and that amount is going up when the new pipeline is certified. If Germany were to risk domestic problems at home in order to stop Russian aggression in Ukraine then it would be a very clear message to Putin that he had overplayed his hand.
Germany doesn't want to get involved in any of this. It doesn't help their interest, which is why their support has been lukewarm. Putin's aggression is putting them in a situation that may leave them with no choice but to pick sides. They are the only major Nato power that hasn't sent troops yet. If they were to send them, then Russia have no room to maneuver. They face losing one of their biggest economic partners and a hardening of Nato's position against them.
Ultimately for Russia, it appears their endgame is to annex the Eastern Oilfields of Ukraine in the Donbas region. Germany might have even supported that move if it would have played out in a method that didn't involving 190,000 troops on the Ukranian border. That isn't a luxury they will have now.

What you have is a false claim that ignores data you don't like and makes up shit to fix it. Keep gaslighting. According to your leader, you're going to feel some truth soon.
It is true, it’s true because demand has increased globally, yet our oil production is where it was 3 years ago. On top of that the administration is curtailing new oil development at the same time.
The energy policy we’re being forced into is insanity. Eliminate coal, eliminate nuclear, prepare to eliminate NG and go to electric vehicles. All it’s doing is weakening the United States, while China and Russia go on producing cheap bulk electricity which allows expansion.

Everything I've read recently Donbas suggests is ethnically Ukrainian by majority as well.
Yes let's talk sports in the thread about Russia and Ukraine.
