Russia Cutting Natural Gas To Europe Is A Pearl Harbor Moment For America!

[Missouri_Mike]

Odd mentioning the situation where the Japanese attacked because the U.S. cut off oil.

Most people don’t know that.

 

[Nostra]

It means nothing to YOU because you're not that bright.

Anyone with half a brain would realize that anything that affects prices in Western Europe, and creates shortages there, will have an impact on the USA.

Americans who fail to look outside their own borders on the impact on world trade that various factors might have are guilty of being short sighted, and easily deceived. Which of course, defines anyone in the Trump Cult.

Hey you stupid KKKanadian Fuckwit, Trump warned Germany against teaming up with Putin. He flat out said Putin would end up using it against them. Trump was right again, and you are still a brain dead moron Dragonlady

 

[Missouri_Mike]

The fucking left in this country.

We can’t drill for oil or gas in this country because you need to buy an electric car.

Europe needs some oil and gas, so we should make more and send it to them.

Fucking retards.

 

[Nostra]

Talk about being "ungrateful, irresponsible children". You have to be several bricks short of a load, you ungrateful, irresponsible child. Fracturing NATO was Trump's greatest gift to Putin, but it didn't take. The rest of NATO laughed at Trump's demands and his failure to have read or comprehended the NATO Agreement.

You don't care what happens to others. You're perfectly willing to see European economies suffer because there are no oil and gas reserves in Western Europe????? Is that your line of reasoning here???? How is that helpful to "US Interests", and trade agreements with your Western Allies?

You seem prepared to abandon 70 years of treaties, trade and the greatest wealth in the western world, in favour of friendship with the Russians???? What sort of person doesn't think that Putin is this generation's equivalent to Adolf Hitler? He's a man so determined to restore a lost empire that he will wipe an entire people off the face of the earth to make his dreams come true.

You sound like a Russian plant, promoting the idea that Europe brought the Ukrainian war on themselves, and should be made to suffer for it. Just like the guy you voted for, a Putin Puppet.

Fracturing NATO was Trump's greatest gift to Putin, but it didn't take.

Wait, what? If your imagined Trump's attempt to fracture NATO didn't take, how was it Trump's greatest gift to Putin?

Seriously you blithering idiot, do you ever actually read what you post before hitting reply? You are a moron of epic proportions, and improve on that daily.

Holy shit you are dumb Dragonlady

Trump telling them to up their defense spending to what it was supposed to be and get off Russian oil is somehow…fucking somehow I’m sure…Trumps fault they are now looking at war on their borders and getting their gas shut off.

 

[Orangecat]

Why would Russia want to send energy to the people who are supporting its opponents in the Ukraine?

 

[Orangecat]

It was retarded of Europe to make themselves vulnerable to this by depending on Russian gas.

Russia was playing chess by financially supporting the green-energy useful idiots in the countries that now rely on Russian fuel to bridge the gap in their energy needs. Yay wind and solar!
Fools.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

An event in the same range of importance as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II occurred this past week in Russia cutting back by forty-five percent the natural gas it sends to Europe via the Nord Stream One pipelines that go from Russia into Germany. This is an economic bombing of Europe by Russia, the importation of natural gas from Russia has been excluded from every round of European Union sanctions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine because including import restrictions for natural gas would cause such pain on ordinary Europeans and their economy it is impossible to fully qualify for starters though completely taking away this Russian gas would send Europe into a recession; this is so because Europe cannot replace Russian natural gas and it needs it to heat ordinary Europeans homes, to produce electricity and for many of Europe's industries. It is clear now Russian Vladimir Putin is using natural gas as a weapon to contain European countries and so to stop or restrain them from sending crucial heavy weapons and ammunition to the Ukrainians to enable them to drive the Russian army out of their country.

President Biden needs to see this event as a crossroads for the history of the world like Pearl Harbor; President Biden needs to see this moment as an obligation on America to step into this crisis and have America rescue Europe from this Russian natural gas siege. America needs to dramatically increase its shipments of natural gas to Europe beginning immediately and continuing throughout the next six months so not only is Europe prepared for the winter and to get through it if Putin shuts down the Russian natural gas pipelines to Europe but to permanently remove Putin's gun from the head of European Union leaders which restrains them from helping Ukraine at this existential super critical time for Ukraine where the eastern part and economic engine of their country is at stake. President Biden has shown outstanding leadership in helping Ukraine in this war without his actions Ukraine would not only be without any hope of saving their country in this war but they would have already lost the war; but it will all be for naught unless America gets Vladimir Putin's boot off the energy neck of Europe as it lays prostrate on the ground! President Biden is asleep at the wheel of the country if he thinks that if Putin pulls the trigger on Europe and shuts down the gas pipelines to Europe and sends them into recession it is not going to spill over into the United States, from the remarks of Jerome Powell the Federal Reserve Bank will at minimum raise interest rates by another one percent by December, a recession in Europe under these circumstances guarantees a hard landing and a recession in America in 2023. President Biden and his administration should be in a five alarm fire response mode to protect the country and the future well being of the Democrat Party in power in the country in response to Russia's declaration of energy war against Europe that just occurred which puts all these things in jeopardy.

President Biden showed signs of hope that he gets it with his letter this past week to executives of America's petroleum refineries that they need to take steps to stop having refinery costs drive fuel prices higher for American consumers and if they don't move to fix this problem he might use the Defense Production Act (DPA) to fix it! President Biden needs to stop dipping his foot in the water and jump in, he needs to stop with the talk and pull out the whip and start getting results for the American people. What President Biden needs to do is hire a heavy hitter in the energy industry and make him White House Czar for Developing and Managing America's oil, gas and petroleum products production and let it be known that this individual will have enormous leeway in writing Executive Orders to meet the nation's goals whether it be curtailing regulations or using the Defense Production act to further the nation's interests here; what the nation needs is someone like former Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson that has a proven track record of producing oil and natural gas.


One thing this Energy Czar should do is get this Freeport Texas LNG terminal fully back on line quickly from its recent fire, reports are that the timeline now is sometime in the latter part of the year this will take place; this should be completely unacceptable to the White House this LNG terminal when fully operational ships two billion cubic feet of gas per day to the world market and largely Europe - this is a lifeline to Europe that should be reinstated post haste! If this Czar was really good the Czar would do things like prepare for Vladimir Putin to pull his trigger and shut off gas to Europe by increasing America's inventory of natural gas by scouring the nation and identifying coal electricity generation plants that are either under utilized or not utilized where their utilization could replace natural gas power generation; and either by voluntary consent or the use of the Defense Production Act or working with Congress get the natural gas power generation plant to cut its gas consumption by reducing power generation to eighty or seventy percent of capacity.

The Democrat Congress should wrap up this January 6 Committee hearings as quickly as possible for the hearings are a disgrace and hold hearings Congressional duty calls for like on the energy crisis facing America and the world and how fix or at least improve the picture here. This writer is not saying anything like President Donald Trump's behavior in trying to overturn the 2020 election was anything but a significant harm to America's Democracy and its tradition of peaceful transition of power. But the hearings are shockingly partisan, a Congressional committee investigating an incident or a series of incidents in America should have a respect for the law recognizing it as a solemn thing that it preserves and guards our society when deciding whether a crime has been committed one must act like a reasonable person and consider contrary viewpoints, one should not take a partisan or biased viewpoint. It is dangerous for our Democracy when people that have a role in its enforcement take a partisan view in evaluating facts and deciding on whether to bring charges because then there exist the danger of America being a society where those in power use America's criminal statutes biasedly to punish their enemies and that is an America dramatically less good than the country America has known.

The list of the committee's failure here is long. President Donald Trump and his followers are well within their rights to believe the 2020 election was fraudulent and act on such beliefs; in this election there was unprecedented use of mail in balloting and courts on their own in many cases changed the rules on such ballots, further America's voter registration rolls are replete with inaccuracies (no national voter registration database for the most advanced country in the world are you kidding me) how do we know there wasn't people voting multiple times? For the record this writer believes the 2020 election was not fraudulent because parties have a legal right to challenge the fairness of elections in America's court system and if they fail or lose in that regard America's court system say on the election is the final word - that what it means to be a society of laws. Also, there is nothing wrong with a candidate after an election raising money to challenge the validity of the election and not using all that money in the challenge; I wouldn't be surprised if George Bush and Al Gore did such in the 2000 contested election. Also, under America's current practice it is not unreasonable to believe the Vice-President could reject the ballots from a state delegation in the electoral College even though the U.S. Constitution does not expressly give the Vice-President such power for the U.S. Constitution does not give Congress such power however it it the Congress's current practice to believe they have such power!

What this Committee's findings and hearings should be focused on is to fix the flaws in America's election system that could disenfranchise American citizens. The system should be that only the court system should be able to conclude that an election in a district or state is unfair and the only remedy is to redo the election, the country needs to stop with this ability for state legislatures being able to select electoral college delegations or to find that elections were unfair this isn't a political decision it is a finding of fact decision to be made by a Judge. The Committee should call for legislation that stops members of Congress or the Vice-President from rejecting a state delegation to the Electoral College ballots. Elections are about citizens selecting candidates it is not about politicians or political parties selecting candidates to fill elected offices in America!

What Russia has accomplished against Europe in regards fuel, China has accomplished against the US regards to manufacturing.

Holy shit you are dumb Dragonlady

It was the desire of Putin to weaken NATO.

Trump said NATO is obsolete. And that the EU is a foe.
You redcaps lapped it up.

 

[Rigby5]

First of all, there is nothing the US can do about Russia being the main natural gas supplier to Europe.
The US has very little reserves, so can't send natural gas to anyone.

Second is that it was stupid and illegal to impose economic sanction over Russia at all.
Economic sanction on civilian goods are entirely illegal war crimes, as defined by the 1906 Geneva conventions.

 

[Correll]

Russia was playing chess by financially supporting the green-energy useful idiots in the countries that now rely on Russian fuel to bridge the gap in their energy needs. Yay wind and solar!
Fools.

Don't give Russia too much credit. This was not a chess master's brilliant plan.


This was more along the lines of a 8 year old tricking his retarded half brother, who is 5.


DON'T MAKE YOURSELF DEPEND ON AN UNFRIENDLY POWER FOR A VITAL SUPPLY.

 

[Correll]

Most fucking clowns keep their skits sort and sweet. Not you though. You try to do a fucking Gone With the Wind kinda thing with squirting flowers and pies in the face.

Let me sum this up for you. Feel free to read this to the tune of “Yakkiti Sax”.

Bidumb cripples our energy sector to the point we can’t support ourselves.

Demands our oils companies produce gas out of unicorn farts. And if they can’t the government will force them to.

Pearl Harbor hits Europe. After they laughed and told Trump to fuck off on his Russian energy warnings.

We don’t have any gas to send. We need it.

One thing about Pearl Harbor moments, you have to prepare for them ahead of time. Not fuck yourself for some stupid ass wind farm and solar panel future.

And this needs to be really clear for the slower kids in the back.


AHEAD OF TIME.

Yeah, the libs really enjoyed it, when the Europeans were dissing Trump. Their papers and talking heads got to talk about what a fool he was and how the Europeans were so much more Grown Up.


That was what, 4 years ago now?


GROWN UPS think about the future and consequences. The Europeans and the liberals were and are the children here, irresponsible and ungrateful.

Regardless of the analogy, Russia played the stupid green elements of Europe and now enjoys a significant advantage in any negotiations between the two entities. If Europe is the retarded brother and Russia is the 8yr old, it's still a huge victory.

 

[excalibur]

Trump repeatedly warned Europe, and Germany in particular, for relying on Russia for so much of their nergy energy. Trump, right again.

Germany shuttered or is shuttering its nuclear plants (what Cuomo and the Dems forced on ConEd) and are now reopening coal-fired power plants.

BTW Merkle is now seen as a disaster, but the MSM sided with her over Trump.

 

[Nostra]

It was the desire of Putin to weaken NATO.

Trump said NATO is obsolete. And that the EU is a foe.
You redcaps lapped it up.

And the leader of NATO said Trump made it stronger by forcing countries to start paying what the agreed to on defense.

 

[excalibur]

Now dumb is the West?

Australia has massive coal reserves, and is a huge exporter of coal but is closing its remaining six coal-fired power plants to save the world!

All the while China and India are building out hundreds of coal-fired power plants, and Japan has some 20 planned as well.

In NY plans for two NG power plants were opposed by AOC and the accidental governor, Hochul, agreed with the dimtard AOC.

 

[excalibur]

And the leader of NATO said Trump made it stronger by forcing countries to start paying what the agreed to on defense.

NATO is obsolete since we were paying far more of the share than many other NATO members.

The fucktard Germans weren't even spending the minimum recommended 2% of GDP on defense and the jackass Canadians wipe up the rear as the biggest shirkers.

Europe has sanctioned the Russian Federation. If the EU won't send Russia what they want or need, why should they send the EU anything?
