How is Germany going to be secure on NG supply when so much is sourced from Russia?
The fact they've tied their economy to an 'existential threat' of Russia which they may go to war with is so mind boggling. Now if the US starts to send LNG to the EU, then that will have a major impact on US prices.
And lastly, if Putin is painted into a corner and he believes this aggression is for the survival of his country, then non-conventional attacks may be on the board directed at the EU and then also at the US. Cyber attacks to cause chaos on all the home fronts: attacks to banking systems and our energy grid. An extreme situation would be EMP attacks. Put your enemy in full disarray so they are not able to respond.

Goes without saying but Barry is a deluded fking idiot
although that is counterintuitive-P.U.T.U said:
Putin is trying to create Novorossiya and get the borders back to USSR times. Russia is a dying country and land grabs are what countries have done for hundreds of years in order to survive. If Russia does not there is a chance in a generation they will start to fall apart.
1997 NATO Borders means that Hungry, Slovakia and the Czech Republic would be on that list actually. Not to mention Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia oh and Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. So he has said that. If I was Poland right now I'd be thinking very hard about a secret nuclear program.LMCane said:It depends.Carlo4 said:

Hitler not only wanted to create the Greater Aryan Reich, but also create "Lebensraum" in the East for the development of those Aryan citizens.
He also wanted to annihilate Soviet communism and the Jews.
I haven't seen anything that points to Putin wanting to reconquer Budapest or Prague.
similar how sleepy joe has essentially tied our oil to middle eastern countries who hate us and want to kill us? It is indeed mind boggling how countries are that stupid. But then again I'd be willing to bet my life that Joe and his cronies along with the Germany leaders in charge are all getting their cut under the table to do this.AlaskanAg99 said:

The US is the #2 LNG exporter in the world and already sends a lot of it to Europe. Finite regassification capacity inhibits their ability to quickly increase imports, though.AlaskanAg99 said:

Where is VTB and Sberbank? Where are the other 50 oligarchs? The ones whose names we can’t mention out of fear of libel.

'Definition of impotence': Lawmakers blast White House after official says Russia's Ukraine move not an 'invasion'
by Mike Brest, Defense Reporter | | February 22, 2022 09:29 AM
A slew of lawmakers from both sides of the aisle took issue with the Biden administration's claim that Russian troops entering disputed Ukrainian territory does not amount to an invasion.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday officially recognized two occupied regions the Luhansk People's Republic and the Donetsk People's Republic as independent of Ukraine, and he ordered troops to enter those regions. A U.S. official reacted by saying the United States doesn't consider this a "new step," because Russian troops have been there since 2014.
"To be clear, if any additional Russian troops or proxy forces cross into Donbas, the Biden administration and our European allies must not hesitate in imposing crushing sanctions," Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement. "There must be tangible, far-reaching and substantial costs for Russia in response to this unjustified act."....

Tucker wasn't implying an either/or situation. It is completely valid to point out the differences in President Biden's handling of the borders.Rossticus said:To begin, that's a logical fallacy. Neither one must necessarily preclude the other. Old Jedi mind trick.Jock 07 said:
Didn't read that manifesto and haven't paid a ton of attention to TC's take on this but hasn't he essentially say why are we so concerned about a foreign country's border when our southern border has been leaking like a sieve? Not sure you can really argue with that
US LNG can pick up more of the slack if Europe chooses. GASAlaskanAg99 said:
In the end Putin will reward certain countries with NG supplies by not cutting them off if they don't intervene.
The more uppity a country gets, the spigot will be turned off. Hey, it's only winter. And most NATO countries are incredibly soft, their own populations will cause an uproar. So it depends on how much people are willing to suffer. And that is Putin's plan.

You are attributing a false narrative(that Tucker believes or said we can't handle both).
Tucker seems to lean on the side isolationism. He seems fairly consistent in his belief that America meddles too often in foreign countries. Unfortunately isolationism often ends poorly for everyone.
Over the past few hours - 2 Ukrainian soldiers were killed by indirect fire from Russians. An additional 12 were injured.

This is reality. I suspect the majority do not want to be under Russian control. Russian insurgents have been causing death and destruction for quite some time in these areas.Rossticus said:In Donetsk, a mere 10 or so people is all Russian state propaganda could gather to celebrate Putin and the Kremlin recognizing the “independence” of a territory Russia controls. pic.twitter.com/XGmq51pQoi
