Adult in the room = peace in the Middle East

We have Russia sanctioned to hell and back already and it's made rather little difference to their economy. Considering they maintain good diplomatic relations with Russia, China, India, much of central Asia and Africa, it's unlikely to happen. As for Iran, again, what're you gonna do? Peace through strength doesn't work. It just means that WHEN war breaks out, it's even more devastating. War should be the last choice, because if it isn't then it'll be the last choice humanity makes.
Russia makes its money on energy. If we start pumping it out and increase supply notably, prices will drop and they won’t be able to fund their war

With all due respect I work in business and finance. Please sit this one out. You sound ignorant.
 
Probably. But the whole ugly situation could have been avoided entirely if the libs hadn't sent billions to the Iranian mullahs to finance the atrocity.
Yes, the democrats have zero skills, democrats lack the intelligence to conduct a just foreign policy.

Or, maybe democrats have so much disdain and hate for themselves and our country they literally do bad things so that our history is stained.

I think democrats do all the corrupt tyrannical things to show that democracies are bad.

I'm not interested in your personal life. Anyway, doing more of the same and expecting a different result is insane. Sure, we could undercut them...but then we're selling gas and oil that we could use over here somewhere else...and selling it for less money than we could. "This'll hurt me, but it'll hurt you more!" Why not...engage in diplomacy? Give them an incentive to make peace, and see what they can give us in return.

We can do both. Sell overseas and to ourselves. We have plenty. Russia isn’t interested in diplomacy. They are interested in victory and as long as they have the funds the war will continue.

We can't sell overseas for a lower price, though. Again, this whole scheme is just, "well, this will hurt you more than it hurts me." Granted, we've no business negotiating with Russia anyway since that whole war really isn't our problem. You talk about them not being interested in diplomacy, but nothing you've said suggests that you are either. We can get a lot out of them, for sure. But we're not going to get it by attempting to intimidate them.

Russia didn’t have the funds to go to war until the Biden/Harris war on fossil fuels. Now we will flood the market with energy. Russia’s profits will drop and the war will cease. You told me you don’t want to know about my personal life but you don’t understand basic supply and demand.

That's just untrue. It's factually wrong. While oil and gas did go up in value under Biden, it had very little impact on their ability to finance the war. Hell, they were already fooling around in Ukraine before even Trump was in office. Again, the sanctions have made no difference. Financial experts predicted Russia would default within a year. It didn't pan out. This is like slamming your head into a wall and expecting the wall to break. The government is gonna have to explain to the public why they're selling our resources to foreigners for cheaper than you're selling it to them. I don't think, "we have to show those damned Russkis because...well, we just have to and damn your wallet" is gonna fly. Flooding the market hurts everyone. First you tell me about your personal life, and now you start making personal attacks.

OMG it’s like talking to a wall. Just wait and see how it plays out. I am not going to teach you basic Econ on a message board.

"You, you, you." This isn't about me. Anyway, I agree. We should wait and see how this plays out.
 
So sad, if the USA landed a division of U.S. Marines on the shores of Gaza when the conflict began the hostages would of been released.

Democrat weakness killed hostages.
You are a neo-con warhawk MAGA. Wow.

You all need to focus on what is important.
