[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have tried to give Putin off ramp for weeks. For months,
He is sending in troops to kill civilians.
F this guy.
I just read a good piece by Fiona Hill, and she breaks it down.
We can’t be paralyzed by fear. We have to anticipate and move to act.[/quote]

We have acted and all Putin does is escalate. I’m not sure what additional actions you mean?[/quote]

What's the alternative, just let Putin keep conquering and destabilizing?  This needs to come to an end, and that end cannot mean Putin winning.[/quote]

Cut off his money supply - which is oil.  Stop buying oil from Russia and sanction sales.  
And, give Ukraine more lethal weapons to give them at least a chance.  [/quote]

The sanctions are meaningless if they don’t include energy. Oil production and exports from Russia have not slowed since the invasion started. Do people realize this? If we want to help Ukraine we need to stop consuming so much gas and be prepared to pay high prices at the pump. [/quote]

Or, we could actually increase our supply and help out Europe by providing the oil that they have bought from Russia.  
And, we need to stop buying oil from Russia.....

Well, we knew this to be true. What was especially shameful was the unwillingness to stop even after Putin invaded Ukraine, trying to assure the public that these sections won't impact energy prices. I am critical of Biden taking us back to energy dependence on foreign sources but I would have gladly met the consequences of cutting off Russian oil flow. They are so tone deaf.[/quote]

How exactly did Biden take “us back to energy dependence on foreign sources “?  And which foreign sources are these?

Yes, I know about Google, but assertions like that really need to be supported with specifics— if they’re going to be taken seriously. [/quote]

Republicans want to drill on federal lands and restart the Keystone pipeline. [/quote]

There are plenty of non-Federal lands to drill on. Keystone won't process fuel for vehicles and isn't even built. I'd don't buy any of these arguments because none of these actions would lower oil prices or inflation today. Or even next year.

You know what wrecked America's energy production? COVID-19, when oil was selling for negative dollars for first time in recorded history. Also, the huge amount of Boomers retiring and people dying from COVID which is leading to labor shortages.[/quote]
