Europe relies on Russia for gas. All of them, especially Germany. France is the only one that doesn't really because of their nuclear energy. That's their policies. Not ours. This was always going to happen. It just was TBD for when and which side will place the blame on the other for allowing it to happen
I don't know, if he thought there was at the minimum the possibility that his military would face allied air strikes he might've had second thoughts, but that was taken off the table before the invasion ever started.
No it wasn't. Putin was broke when Oil was in the 20's and 30's and even briefly wen't negative. He was supplying Europe at that time, but it wasn't making a difference to the Oil price because Saudi was pumping like mad. Us turning off the spickets ABSOLUTELY led to this.
You mean when people freaked out about COVID and the whole world was on a "flatten the cure" quarantine and basically stayed in place for a month? Once we opened back up this was always going to happen man. Europe relies too heavily on Russian oil for it not to. If you need someone to blame, then I guess blame the Europeans, more specifically the Germans.
It's always informative to look at what people were warning about in the years prior to the Russian incursion vs what people are saying today.
Experts Warned For Years That NATO Expansion Would Lead To This
Chris Hedges introduces his latest article for Scheer Post, titled “Chronicle of a War Foretold”, with the following:caityjohnstone.medium.com
Absolutely. Alex Jones said last year that we'd be at war by February and here it is. Never thought I'd have to admit that guy was right about something, but it happened and the Democrats made him look like a prophet. No one to blame for this but themselves...

Ukraine, Russia Fail to Agree on Cease-Fire, as Moscow Shelling Kills Civilians — The Wall Street Journal
Negotiators make some progress and return to their capitals with plans to meet again in coming days, Russian reinforcements stream in and Ukraine holds Kyiv
Absolutely is right. The day Biden came into office he shut down a main pipeline and drilling sites. Pure insanity. Now we buy oil from Russia and that just gives Putin extra money to pay for his war on Ukraine. There is no excuse for such action by the president. He had to know this would happen. We did.
Biden is weak and the world knows it. He has survived all of his political career by smiling and taking bribes from countries that want us destroyed. So when China makes their move how is he going to stop them. He can't and will not. They own him and give him millions under the table. Everyone knows that but they tell us 81 million fools in this country voted for this. Of course 81 million was a lie too but what else in new.

I hope he gets sniped.
Based on how the Russian Army & airforce has performed so far against Ukraine I would say they didn't rebuild shit. Putin claimed a bunch of military advancements but was just siphoning off all the money into his personal accounts. If they got into a fight with a serious military power Russia would get steam rolled.
It’s kind of our policy under this administration, too. It’s also easy now to say this was always going to happen. I agree we knew what Putin generally intended. I disagree we should pat ourselves on the backs for doing nothing about it.
he stopped a section of a pipeline that wasn't functioning and was going to move Canadian tar oil. he stopped new drilling leases not any current ones. US oil and gas companies are currently using 30% of their land leases. TRumpsters are clowns.
Look at this data
who was President when Russian oil imports took a ****ing YUGE increase? I'll give you one guess, he was an orange clown.
2017 : 142k
2018 : 137k
2019 : 189k
2020 : 197k
2021 : 209k
Why is it so hard for the braindead right to look up facts?

WTF are you talking about?
Omg, there is so much wrong with this post that I literally give up. You must be a hoot to talk to in person 😕
That was exactly the question that popped into my head! Lol! I didn't want to open that robin's mouth...
Imagine that. It's giving up... French by any chance?
The moment Biden was installed as President, China knew Taiwan was theirs to take. They had them because China owns Biden. What can he do to stop them when it becomes time to collect their debt for the millions funded to Biden and Hunter.
It is only a matter of time and Biden's handling of the Ukraine issue has made them even bolder. In a little over a year Biden and his clown show have screwed up everything in his path.
From your link, this paints a little different picture, and gives more perspective. Seems the Trump years leading up to Covid were below the Obama years and the first year of Biden.
Why do so many republicans, orange Jesus included, support Putin?
Did we have COVID in 2016 when gas was 1.73 and oil was 50ish, or 2017 when it was 2.24 and oil was 54, or 2018 when it was 2.44 and oil was 74? Gas fell to 2.08 in 2019, before the plandemic.
Europe has a hand in this, yes, but they have traded with Russia for decades.
Large imports of petroleum products started under Bush and continued under Obama. Trump did little to slow the imports. He did reduce the amount of pure crude oil coming in a bit. What Trump did do is manage to keep the supply of oil high which drove down the price. Low prices keeps Russia poor.
When Biden took office the first thing he did was shut down pipelines and restrict drilling. Price shoots to the moon. Then he went straight to Russia and started to buy large sums of crude oil. He upped imports by almost 25% in just two years. We are still buying huge sums of Russian petroleum which is giving them the very thing Biden says he is trying to deny them. The Dollar.
No worries ,though. Looks like we are working a deal to get some of that sweet Iranian oil. What could go wrong with giving them mass sums of money?
It shows that right after 2008 we imported a shitload more oil from russia because it was super cheap. and then as oil prices went up it fell down hard to normal levels. Then in 2019 It skyrocketed back up. It conveys a very simple picture of how oil works. When global prices are cheap the refiners buy it up for end products. When prices spike they go back to using domestic production. Its not rocket science and has nothing to do with whether a R or D is in the WH. Oil companies only care about 1 thing, profit margin. That means using the cheapest supply. We have no 2022 data yet but you can be sure Russian imports will be cratered.
And an important thing to note. US oil imports from Russia is tiny. its less than 3% of the US total. We import 15x as much from Canada

Wait I though Biden was in bed with Ukraine and Trump loved Putin. Now that it's not cool to be a Russia lover anymore Biden is connected to Russia and Trump was trying to help Ukraine? Is that how this works? That's how Trump works, when the tide turns, just change the lie. Trumpian's don't want truth, they want power and that's it.
Really, then explain the drop right in the middle of the Trump years? Until as you correctly suggested oil prices dropped in 2020 due to pandemic.
Fast forward until now, oil prices are definitely not cheap, and we are buying more Russian oil than anytime prior, at the same time Biden's puppetmasters are all in on limiting our oil production, and it's more than just oil permits, it's also environmental restrictions.
Biden could sanction Russia's oil, or remove them from SWIFT, he won't.
It's just not right that Russia and OPEC won't pump for more oil:
The Double Irony Of Asking OPEC To Increase Oil Production
Here's why it is doubly ironic that the U.S. is pleading with OPEC to produce more oil.

LOL! Your party will litterallty cheat, lie and steal to win elections. You want a one-party rule, will go to any lengths to get it and tell everybody that "democracy" is under siege when your one party rule desire is the exact OPPOSITE of a democracy.
"Fact checker".........LMAO !!
it didn't drop, it went up. in 2019 it went up by 40%, before covid. 2017-2018 was a negligible difference. We are buying more now because in 2020 oil companies shut down production because they didn't want to destroy prices with a glut of oil. Things take time to even back out.
as you can see here, US production is shooting back up and has been Bidens entire Presidency.
The border is just one big joke, right? This is a daily occurrence. Sadly, many Liberals seem to be down with pedophilia, so it probably is in their eyes.
There is no way you and I could talk to each other. And why should we? Enjoy your inflation and high interest rates. Your vote contributed to it.
Are you suggesting that on the chart on the link that the first 3 years of Trump weren't lower than the prior 8 and following 3? The chart is self explanatory.
2020 was 2 years ago, the oil wells aren't still shutdown due to Covid. Prices have been, and are high, in prior years this is when Wildcatters get in to make a quick buck, but they aren't now. US oil production should be surging right now, but it isn't, and Jen Psaki told us why yesterday and she has before. The admin doesn't care about high prices, they think it'll drive Americans toward electric cars.
For quite some time now, much of the world has mostly allowed Russia to run unchecked. What we're seeing right now is the result of that inaction.
Here's a start, a Charles Krauthammer piece from 2015:
As Putin rebuilds Russia's power, Obama just watches
There are of course plenty of impartial academic articles on this subject in Jstor:
https://www.google.com/search?channel=nus5&client=firefox-b-1-d&q=russia ukraine site:jstor.org&ved=2ahUKEwiHyay2gqP2AhXekIkEHVVLBNkQ2wF6BAgbEAE&ei=PBMdYoe7M96hptQP1ZaRyA0
Exactly right.
US producers flatly stated they wouldn't bother pumping more if the prices stayed under $60 per gallon. Wasn't worth it to them. Saudis know that helping keep the prices low means they control the market. There are other, lesser factors at work, but this admin has done nothing within its power to keep prices down and keep Russia out of the game.
The admin WANTED this conflict for the reasons linked in the tweet and posts above and to move closer to globalization.
Let me guess - you have 3 Maga hats, trump is/was a great businessman, trump never cheated paying contractors or taxes, trump honors his wedding vows and would never grab a female by her p*ssy, Hillary is part of a pedophile ring and their hangouts are pizza joints, and the papers he flushed down the WH toilets were simply used because the WH ran out of toilet paper?
Seems Ivan experiencing many EPW/POW and not taking this operation very seriously.
