Unseen,

We could go back to domestic production of our own petroleum, including re-opening ANWR and The Keystone XL pipeline, building new refineries (we haven’t had a new one since 1977,) and searching for new sources nationwide and offshore.

Really, when you think about it domestic production of petroleum produces a much smaller Carbon…[Read more]

If you think China is not going to take over Taiwan if we kill enough Ukrainians to “solve” the Ukraine problem, dream on. Look at the disparity in manpower and supply lines. We’d end up doing there what we are doing in Ukraine: arming the poor Taiwanese and sending them to die on our behalf in a war that ultimately can’t be won.

Can anyone…[Read more]

Woops and i neglected to indicate that all of this damage, volatility, risk and uncertainty will result in freedom for Ukraine? Russia will be forever chastened and keep its nose out of Ukraine? And if it fails in spite of support from so many nations other super powers will be discouraged from invading if they don’t get their demands met?

I get…[Read more]

Whooaaa…the unintended consequences.

Ridiculous gas prices and inflation in general will make a republican takeover of congress and the executive quite probable unless the abortion issue takes precedence. Typically it is the pocket book that is paramount.

How many have died already? How many traumatized? How much more unstable is the globe?…[Read more]

Here’s another unintended consequence of jumping to Ukraine’s defense,

Europe, to stop its dependence on Russian oil, is firing up coal-fired power plants. I guess we can set saving the planet aside for a while in order to save Ukraine from a world power they can at best just hold at bay.

It’s becoming clear that as long as this war goes on,…[Read more]

Belle, ya got me good!

I admit to lacking a great deal of knowledge about the war. Haven’t stayed abreast to the degree that you may have.

I was opposed from the first. I reject the notion of humanitarian motivation. Historically the west has little to none until recently in the case of migrants needing succor. There have been so many genocides and humanitarian crises…[Read more]

Unseen,

Yes, Zelenskyy has done wrong letting the Azov Battalion have a presence in the military and he only alienates support of good Russians for Ukraine by outlawing Russian media and culture.

But that said, most likely, none of this would be happening if Putin had never invaded. War and tyranny breed counter-recriminations of war and…[Read more]

Unseen,

That UN report on devasatation to the Third World doesn’t mention that Putin is the one blocking and disrupting the supply chain of grain and other goods from Ukraine. Par for the course, since Putin still keeps Russia on The UN Security Council and holds sway with UN propaganda outlets.

“We” in the U.S. and the West are doing nothing…[Read more]

Unseen, You ever heard of the phrase “Potemkin Village?” That is what you seen in those videos and that is what the entire Russian economy is, propped up by money and credit and technology from the West.
