Trump Zelensky today.....

[HurryingHoosiers]

Heard a commentator today say that in the last year, Russia has taken land about 2/3 the size of Delaware while suffering US Vietnam War casualty numbers.

And Putin is just saying 'worth it"

 

[HurryingHoosiers]

Russia takes volunteers too. They wouldn’t take you either.

You are taking to two guys that served our country in the military while you didn’t.

Russia could always use an expendable that is able to catch a lot of bullets

 

[GooglyMooglyWooglyBoogly]

But Putin always needs more cannon fodder, so step up!

Russia takes volunteers too. They wouldn’t take you either.

Funny how both of you went there, reflexively. “Putin lover!”.

Like arguing with a couple of children, so juvenile. But most pro-Ukraine war arguments devolve to that at some point because they don’t have any firm logical footing.

Why is it that you gentlemen feel the need to thump your chest about your military service when I call out the hypocrisy of you two being all talk and no action with respect to supporting Ukraine? Don’t often cite your military service when put in uncomfortable situations? It’s not a get out of jail free card you know.

Seems I’ve hit a nerve, and now your bullshit is on display for all to see.

You gentlemen are not tough. Stop posting like your tough.

Should the US have quit in WW2 after we were attacked, let bygones be bygones? So why should Ukraine?

What you’re been posting is juvenile and dumb. You have also effectively taken Putin’s side in reality whether you like it or not so why not volunteer to support Russia? That’s only right per your asinine logic. You wouldn’t even serve your own country so there’s that too.

I’ve never taken Putin’s side. That straw man that you build in your head and attribute everyone who has misgivings about this war is the reason you can’t approach it reasonably.

My logic is sound. You have described this conflict as existential. A threat to greater Europe and the existence of Democracy worldwide and potentially even U.S. security.

Endless, ham fisted WW2 analogies make clear that you and others believe this to be a conflict on which the future of the free world hinges.


If you believe that, then yes voicing support on a message board and advocating for more spending is not enough. You need to fight.

We cut oil production when? It dropped during COVID, oil prices plummeted and a lot of oil companies went bankrupt. Shale oil costs more to get to than Saudi oil.

We struggled to ramp up, with a lot of retirees from oil like everywhere else and investors skittish from the bankruptcies. In 22 we produced as much as 19, and set the record in 23.

Saudi Arabia cut oil production significantly in a deal with Russia.

U.S. oil production 2023 | Statista

Oil production in the United States amounted to around 827.1 million metric tons in 2023, an increase when compared to the previous year and the highest figure recorded within the period of consideration.

Saudi Arabia and Russia are cutting oil supply again in bid to boost prices

Saudi Arabia and Russia are extending cuts to the amount of oil they pump to the world to try to prop up prices.

I should have phrased better. Biden's campaign rhetoric and actions to halt drilling on fed lands, reversed drilling in ANWR, and canceling XL during a time of economic recovery from the pandemic facililitated the increase in worldwide oil prices that allowed Russia to have increased profit to fund an invasion. And the US added to those profits by increasing it purchases of Russian oil in 2021.
