  1. It seems you are obsessed with Western support to Ukraine. Why that? πŸ˜€
  2. Actually, there are two gods who have been merged in the old testament.
  3. False equivalence. Western media are not controlled by governments and are not propaganda instruments like RT.
  4. "American and European propaganda forced on kids." Complete B.S., as usual! πŸ˜€
  5. And can you list the GOP core values so that we can have a good laugh Law, order, honesty..? Ha! Ah! πŸ˜ƒ
  6. With some minor differences, we seem to agree that, contrary to what the other poster claimed, prices did not decrease under Trump and production did not decrease under Biden, which was the initial claim I replied to. The minor differences are: - if you look at the graph I posted, prices pre-Covid were on average higher than when Trump took office (not that I blame him for that, as prices are global and controlled, to a large extent extent, by the OPEC). - 2020 was not only a year of production decrease, that's the time when most O&G projects were cancelled and drilling spots closed.
  7. Here. It can also be added that Russia's GDP i around the size of Italy's GDP (when energy prices are high) or Spain (when energy prices are low).
  8. In this post. No wonder the other poster never provided amy data! πŸ˜ƒ
  9. Gas price did not decrease under Trump pre-Covid https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/gasoline Oil production decreased in 2020, not under Biden https://eia.gov
  10. Putin's Russia GDP did not grow between 2012 and 2022. No growth during 10 years! Not to mention a population decrease of nearly 1 million in 2020/2021. Putin had to find something to hide his miserable economic failure. A war was a convenient way to hide hisbfailure and to muzzle the opposition.
  11. And you post B.S. as usual. Data about it is easily available, the poster was just diffusing propaganda lies.
  12. The Chinese are just taking advantage of Russia's current dependence on China. About the map, it's nothing new, it's been taught in school for decades that these tritories are Chinese. HoweverChina has time to recover the lost territories and will ply the long game. It could unfold in this way: - more and more Chinese will massively settle across the border (it has already started), - then China will complain that Chinese residents are oppressed, - then it will launch a special opration to save Chinese residents. πŸ˜†
  13. You don't admit it but you were lying. Prove it! Trump praised Russia's takeover of Crimea. He did withhold deliveries when trying to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political rival, Biden cancelled sanctions on the company behind Nordstream 2, not on Russia. Then he increased sanctions on Russia. Yes Biden halted one military package for a few weeks before the Biden-Putin summit. He did notcstopcaid.
  14. So false on oil prices and oil production. Your post being source free, I'm not going to check everything. From what I remember, you are right that Obama poorly assessed the Russian threat. However, perceptions were different at that time. For example Trump congratulated Russia for the Crimea invasion in 2014. Trump did increase aid to Ukraine (I don't remember in which context), but also withheld aid when trying to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political rival, a fact you forgot to mention. Glad to see that you acknowledge that Biden was not a war mongerer and tried to improve relations with Russia. He did lift sanction on the Russian company behind Northstream 2 (which, BTW, never prevented the completion of the project). However your post seems to be innacurate about the other issues. I don't remember Biden lifting sanctions on Russia, and I remember he imposed a new sanctions regime in early 2021. He also did not stop Ukraine aid, he just halted it before the Biden-Putin summit, asa gesture of goodwill.
  15. More lies from you. Trump did not drive oil prices down. Oil prices increased between the day he started and the last pre-Covid period. Then they decreased because of the Covid crisis. Biden did not cut oil production. Oil production decreased in 2020 under Trump. It did not decrease after Biden came into office.
  16. They obviously had a good laugh at him! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/dec/04/footage-appears-to-show-world-leaders-joking-about-trump-at-nato-summit
  17. No no! Don't regulate X. That would be restricting free speech! πŸ˜€
  18. That's why she won the popular vote? πŸ˜€
  19. They certainly had different tailors! 🀣
  20. Oh that! Right, she can be a whiner too.
  21. It sure is an act if courage to leave the protection of his glass panel! πŸ˜€
  22. He's so desperate that he's ready to tell any lie in order to smear Kamala! "She met with Putin, and then three days later, he attacked. How did she do? Do you think she did a good job? She met with Putin to tell him, β€˜Don’t do it.’ He's so pathetic! πŸ˜ƒ
  23. Really? When was the last time she did whine about it?
