It's not a good look. To be fair the Polish PM started chuckling first and she joined in. Does not change the fact that she is incompetent.

cle23 Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 2 hours ago, sherpa said: Of course presidents don't control oil or other commodity prices. What they do though, undeniably, is influence the environment that effect energy producers decisions to commit capital to expand production. It cannot be denied that this administration has been openly hostile to domestic fossil energy suppliers, whether drillers or shippers. That influences capital expenditure decisions, as well it should. Hate you 'till I need you simply doesn't work. Sure, their policies can do a lot of things. But this isn't just a USA problem. This is a worldwide problem. And again, prices were going up no matter what. The Trump prices were greatly influenced by the pandemic, and as the world got more back to normal, then prices had to go up. It's always kind of funny, because people want pipeline work, but low oil prices causes pipeline work to stop, but then they complain about oil prices being high as well. Obviously there is a happy medium there, but locally oil and gas companies have been dead for 2 years now. Huge layoffs and shutdowns. Now they are hiring and working again. But Biden!

He's a member of the Washington uni-party neocon/neoliberal war council. There people are dangerous. If they had their way we'd all be fighting and dying in trenches and foxholes across the planet. Funny the war hawks are usually the stay way back from the front lines with the women and children kind of characters while the people opposing getting involved in every conflict are soldiers and combat veterans that have seen action, lost friends and fellow soldiers, and don't take getting involved in every dust up and fight lightly.

The point is that it doesn't need to be a problem at all. The stupidity of not having a coherent energy policy gets us into these spikes over and over, and it is completely avoidable. The US has enough natural gas, much cleaner burning than anything Russia produces by the way, to supply us forever. We also have companies that produce electricity from solid oxide fuel cells. These can use extremely efficient nat gas, or bio gas or zero polluting hydrogen that doesn't rely on grid distribution, which is the huge weakness in our energy universe. The energy is produced on site, and scores of companies which do not want to be burdened by increasing power outages have installed them. If the California grid issues with wildfires and other calamities, along with Texas' gross disaster last winter don't underline grid issues and cause changes, we are stuck with this current malaise and the idiotic politicization of the issue. We got to the moon because of a united, non political challenge and goal met head on. It's all there. We simply haven't had the guts to de-politicize it and get on with the work. 1

To be fair, Trump plays whatever side of people he benefits the most from. He was buddy buddy with Putin while President, and now he says he would stand strong against Putin. It's all a crock. Putin was building up his military. Just so happens that Biden was President once he felt strong enough to attack. But it's looking like Putin misjudged Ukraine. But Trump being gone had nothing to do with it either way.

Don’t you find it the least bit “coincidental” that he felt strong enough to attack 12 months into the Biden Presidency? Like I’m football a good offense is often a good defense.

Tiberius Posted March 10, 2022 Author Posted March 10, 2022 Some dude on CNN, a “war criminal ambassador” who investigated those types of things said 5he sanctions would not be removed on Russia until Russian forces are gone from Ukraine and Putin and the generals are handed over to justice to the international court. Hmmm... Not that I wouldn’t love him to get justice, but might that not prolong the suffering of Ukraine? And the Russian people for that matter.

I'm not for treating Russia like all is well and good the moment they retreat back across the border. They are now in the club with North Korea and can stay there as far as the US is concerned. Countries like Germany will probably need the oil teat turned back on sooner.
