Remember after 9/11 when the country united (although I'm certain anyone who looked vaguely Arab didn't feel too united, but that's a different topic)? No way that would happen today. If there was some war that did hit our soil we wouldn't unite. We'd just point fingers and argue about which party is at fault while we were torn down from within and without.
Trump changed that. He tore the country apart. Part of his legacy.

I am impressed by the names you pick.
I'm not against Keystone necessarily, but letting that project continue would not help us in any way right now. We wouldn't be flowing anything on that pipe until at least 2030.
I dont know if I'd got as far as his policies have played out correct. I would say he had a number of general ideas that were accurate (e.g. hard stance on China, getting Europe to pull more of their weight with NATO), but he had no clue how to work with other countries to accomplish those goals. Taking on China alone with the trade war instead of coordinating with our European allies, not working collaboratively with NATO to increase European funding, etc.
Call me cynical, but he would perhaps be even more courageous if he stopped posing for these heroic photo ops.
No, but it's not going on for the next 8 years either.
No one knows. Depends on insurgency and how far this radiates. French were conquered by Hitler, but the resistance later coalesced to fight back.
You make a good point, and perception does have an affect, I agree, but more in the long term. Short term prices are much more impacted by actual supply and demand.
Yes, the complicated international oil futures market is in no way driving by supply and demand and OPEC price fixing and is instead determined by "perception" about a pipeline that was still a decade away.
He wasn’t capable of being any different. He was a wannabe dictator who is untrustworthy and a narcissist. He barely won against Clinton and Biden absolutely kicked his ass. His base is uneducated and sheep.
Just stop. You're digging yourself a deep hole.
You are eaten up with Trump, even as the world is on the edge of WW3, and the US sits idly by getting over ridden by Germany on Russian sanctions.
Biden: Putin is a thug and is about to attack Ukraine: Fox News: what about those Canada Truckers. Trump: Putin is a genius and I want his peacekeeping troops on our border. You: an idiot traitor.
😂😂😂😂😂. I’m eaten up with trump? That’s rich. He lost and know it. His game is he got robbed but he knows. 90% of the posters here worship orange Jesus. Talk about eaten up. He needs to shut up and let the adults run the country.
Don’t kid yourself. It’s been going on for the past ten years as Russia worked to make Europe reliant on it as an energy source. Russia will continue to use its energy resources as a weapon against the West. To think this is not an ongoing global issue would be naive.
China is winning big today and it knows it. To it, Russia is just a convenient pawn. China will take Taiwan. The West will lose its semiconductor influence and China will have what it wanted. Russia is a temporary little brother to China. And what will the West do? Not much.
That is the rationale that condones the naïveté of the West. There were options. Europe chose to ignore what they knew about Putin and Russia.
If posters want to stress the temporal distance to Keystone, we should do the same for “renewables.” Might as well add clean burning coal.
