This is just a brazen lie.
If they were using “every tool” they’d bring back Keystone and open up more federal land for oil and gas.

Well, if the Puppetmasters hurt the Russian economy as much as they have hurt ours, maybe Putin will say Uncle!
The simple truth is that we have no military means, short of nuclear war, to stop Putin from taking all of Ukraine if he wishes. Putin has taken the measure of the Puppetmasters’ Administration and knows, as Biden has already admitted, that this is the case. Weakness, as ever, leads to instability. Thus, the Puppetmasters’ Administration will play at economic warfare, while our Nato allies will cheat and cut side deals, as they always do when sanctions are implemented. Russia will suffer from the sanctions, but probably not as much as the American consumer, although the current Puppetmasters’ economy is so bad, that most Americans will not be able to distinguish the new bad from the old bad. Putin may not attempt to take the rest of the Ukraine, but this will be due to the prospect of a long lasting guerrilla war, and not because of the empty posturing of our puppet “President”.
A duplicitous ken doll totalitarian leading Canada, and a corrupt decrepit senile old man leading the US.
Boy howdy, how I miss the mean tweets.

Feb. 21, 2020 – “Putin doesn’t want me to be President because I’m the only person who’s ever gone toe-to-toe with him.”

Wonder what the excuses will be when the mass graves are found this time?
“Gee, but Putin did great photographs of riding a horse while shirtless”?
He mischaracterizes the Ukraine’s political order and falsely claims that the current president’s principal opponents are in prison. His principal opponents are Yuriy Boyko and Yevhen Murayev, who are not in prison.
The Ukraine is usually regarded as partly free by organizations that rate such matters, albeit better than Putin’s Russian. It is in the interest of the US that the enlargement project of Russia under Putin fail, if this can be done short of a conflict which we could not win under present circumstances.
Biden’s domestic energy policy is a gift to Putin. How far are the European nations realistically willing to go in the Russia-Ukraine dispute? As I recall Trump had to publicly shame the European nations into living up to their defense spending commitments.

President Biden talked out of both sides of his mouth on the botched Afghanistan withdrawal. Historically his comments have had a very short shelf life. Little of the current situation inspires confidence. I’m through with war fever, writing blank checks, and blindly accepting everything I’m told.
