Now Russia has stated if the west bans their oil they will halt gas exports to Europe. 
 

If that shit occurs Europe will be in the dark. They have no way to account for losing Russian energy imports.

America could be supplying Europe with all its energy needs if we'd just start pumping. 

Yay higher ng prices....

I posted about this in another thread…Senator Chris Coon seems to think this is worth it…need to stand up for Democracy and Ukraine even if our energy costs here double.

We should be expanding drilling at home along with developing our alternative energy. 

Just think about how much bullshit we've been involved in because of overseas oil. What if we didn't have to give a fuck about the Saudis or the Ruskis?

Domestic oil production under Biden will be higher than under Trump. Now what?

From the article….

Yergin also predicted oil prices will stay in the $65 to $85 per barrel range and that $100 oil is unlikely "unless some big geopolitical turmoil happens."

We could be like NK and close ourselves off from the world.

Our oil is sold to the highest bidder….end of story.

My guess is with all the sabre rattling, "escalate to descalate" or more accurately "escalate to win", this is Russian war doctrine playing out and there will be some "heady" UN negotiations and perhaps a settlement in the future.  There is more than one finger on the nukes, I can't believe that this many Russians want any part of a nuclear war.

It will be a good thing if he does it

So what do we gain by dumping Russian Oil other than some feel good bullshit and higher gas prices? 🤷🏻

  14 years ago.  Ukraine wanted to be in NATO, and Bush wanted to let them in.  Given NATO is a defense pact, and given that the Soviet Union had just broken up, we could easily argue that it was for the good of the world.  14 years later obviously Russia disagrees.  They used all the oil revenues to build up their military and enrich a handful of oligarchs.   And they're the ones invading another country right now and killing innocents.  So here we are.

When was the last time Russia attacked a country that wasn’t part of the Soviet Union?

Just pointing out that NATO issue is not new and who are we to dictate what they do with their oil revenue?  If we are so concerned why do we ignore the bad deeds of The Saudis? 🤷🏻

That amazing military that they built up ain’t doing real well against a 2nd world country. Honestly, I have no idea how Putin could take another country. It’s embarrassing.
