President Biden in his speech today to the American people in regards to the Russian invasion of Ukraine showed that he isn't a greatly wise and sharp President! This situation demands the Free World hurt the country of Russia in the most severest manner over this shocking invasion and you don't hurt Russia at this level unless you hurt their energy exporting industry, the life blood of the Russian economy. The American government should be leading Europe in stopping the purchases of Russian oil and natural gas. Granted European countries cannot shut off the Russian energy spigot today because it would hurt their own people too dramatically. But a great American President would say to these European leaders America is prepared to step into the void here my government can shoot adrenaline into America's oil and natural gas producing industry and put more natural gas and oil onto the international market if your countries will agree to buy it from us instead of Russia. Meaning if our Liquified Natural Gas Export terminals say we have the supply to enter into significant long term contracts because of increases in U.S. domestic production will you European countries pick-up these contracts instead of turning to Russia and the same situation for U.S. oil exporting companies available new supply. If the U.S. President negotiated such a deal with European leaders and the players followed through it would go a long way to declawing Russia in this area of military aggression even a U.S. President that was only competent in his or her job if got a deal from the European leaders could bring about the passage of laws and government action in our country to effectuate this goal. Russian President Valdimir Putin has many flaws in his make-up but being stupid isn't one of them, the age of oil and natural gas where countries like Saudi Arabia and Russia financed successful countries on the proceeds of oil and natural gas exports is coming to an end and President Putin knows this, this age will last about thirty to forty more years before usage drops off a cliff, this penalty will likely bring Vladimir Putin to reconsider his actions for he doesn't want to throw away this opportunity for his country to accumulate an enormous amount of wealth! President Joseph Biden really dropped the ball today in not following the ball which is Russia's energy export industry!
