Russia-Ukraine War

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

The Biden Administration is going all in on "virtue signaling", but don't care to do anything practical.

Poland really called out the U.S. yesterday. By them saying they would give the U.S. all their Mig-29 in exchange for F-16, and then the U.S. could transfer them to Ukraine. They were doing 2 things:

1. They were making sure the U.S. had meat in the game
2. They showed it really the U.S. that is stopping consequential military aid to the Ukraine.

Also, Saudi Arabia and another OPEC country on the Arabian peninsula refused to take Biden call this week (but they did answer the call from Putin). That left the U.S. to talk to Venezuela and Iran for getting more oil production online to try and flood the market. These oil and gas prices are a BOON for Russia, Saudi Arabia (and other OPEC countries).

Next the U.N. ordered their people to not refer to the Russia/Ukraine war as a WAR.

Ukraine is about to be thrown under the bus.

Unfortunately, Biden has a history of throwing other countries under the bus. Especially those who won't play along with his money hungry greed games, including Ukraine.

It is really sad, but Ukraine is looking like the sacrificial lamb and Hiden Joe wants to just pretend its not happening and hope it goes away. Shameful. What will he do when Putin moves on to Moldova next, then Georgia, etc...?

I am not all out advocating for the US to get full on involved in the conflict, but I think we can do more.

Would like to disagree with this, but cannot

[SB Shock]

Biden Administration: We are going to do everything to prevent Americans from being impacted by this conflict
Also Biden Administration: No new domestic drilling and no additional domestic actions to ease gas prices.
Also Also Biden Administration: Hey Venezuela, you've done some terrible things but we'd still like some of your oil

Imagine natural and man made global warming combined on top of the drought that contributed to the Dust Bowl. Granted, breaking out too much land during WWI and the 1920s plus farming practices not suited to the high plains was also a primary contributor. My belief is that over time the risk-return for dryland wheat farming is going to worsen out on the high plains.

So agricultural practices at the turn of the century caused a drought? How land was tilled caused it not to rain? Or was the global warming of the late 1800's early 1900's what caused the drought? And if global warming from way back caused the rain to stop, why did it ever rain again?

Back to your comments on wheat production, and wheat being raised further north because of global warming, you do realize that wheat has been raised in damn near deserts? Wheat was being raised in the middle east way back to long before Christ. Just a fact. Both Pakistan and Mexico rank in the top 20 of wheat exporters. Hot, arid climates.

We had a bit of a precipitation problem around here from 1930 thru 1936. Also global warming?

Thought just came to my mind. With Europe depending on Russia for approximately 30% of their oil and gas, why can't the US open up all oil production avenues and take on some of that 30% so Europe doesn't have to depend on Russia and they can cut Putin off? Of course that would take a President who was forward thinking and logical and he would have to go against his wokeholes in his party, but seems like a plan that might work. You could produce enough to make the US independent, which was done quickly and successfully under Trump, and at the same time help Europe become independent of Russia. It just might also help boost our economy and lower gas prices in the process.

You will literally do or say anything to suppress the black vote, prevent the free expression sexuality among youth, and maintain the status quo of the white privilege that is the cause of global warming.

Racist!

Read it in a yahoo article which could be problematic but still makes some sense to me. Having owned marginal wheat land along the Colorado Kansas border I would say that precipitation is always a concern. If the high plains are indeed heating up precipitation may be a bigger problem down here in the future, but not so much in Canada. Also more wheat land may open up in Canada due to global warming.

How does someone from Kansas account for wheat exports with global warming? Russia holds 1/6th of all of the land on Earth and wheat will grow almost anywhere. Much of Russia's land won't grow anything but wheat, so since the 1990's they have been converting their huge wastelands into wheat fields. Wheat grows in Canada and New Mexico. Short season, long season, wheat will grow. At the equator and the artic circle, you can find a variety of wheat that will grow. Wheat just may be the most hearty and varied crop grown. Yet somebody is attributing exports of wheat to global warming? Corn or soybeans, maybe, but wheat? Global warming has nothing to do with Russia's wheat harvest.

Yep. Easy-capease...but in today's upside down world somehow, someway somewhere that would be deemed racist I'm quite sure

Brilliant. Never gonna happen under this guy. LNG is the way to do it
