Snake Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Affiliates of two European companies that fund Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline contributed to the campaign of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), who Republicans say has blocked sanctions on the Kremlin-backed project.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 25, 2022 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 25, 2022 Keep in mind we are buying over 200,000 barrels of oil a day from Russia. Drop in the bucket to what we consume but Germany isn't the only one. Canada is importing a bunch as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Of course Ted Cruz wants sanctions to prevent the German/Russian pipeline. His campaigns are financed by American oil companies. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it goes a bit deeper than that but I do agree we should stay out of it altogether and "staying out of it" had nothing to do with the filibuster.

Many of the break aways have excellent education and advancing technologies and corporations. The scenario of Russia regaining a union foothold would be impossible under the current conditions. This does, however, show the importance of developing alternate energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 The US has been occupying and destabilizing much of the world for over a century so international corps can exploit their resources. We needed the soviets to stop the Germans from becoming the world super power and consequently let them become a super power. After spending decades and billions$$$ to destabilize the soviets we now have a new battle for world domination. US, China and Russia. But make no mistake, it's the same oligarchs it's always been pulling the strings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
