Let's have a look at your arguments 1. Drilling. As mentioned before by another poster, there are plenty of other drilling opportunities. Actually, plenty of drilling permits were not being used. The reason was that oil companies did not want to invest (and banks did not want to lend them money) because they were uncertain about the long-term price of oil 2. Sanctions. Are you claiming that Russia should not have been sanctioned? 3. A pipeline only facilitates distribution. It does not increase production significantly, so it has no impact on global oil prices. Would another administration have produced more and how much? That's an interesting question. Another interesting question. Would another administration have stimulated the production of alternative energies, as well as energy saving, in the same magnitude (hence reducing oil demand and oil prices on long term)?

Actually, It's the opposite. Typical Biden strategy, you said? The Administration's replenishment strategy has secured a good deal for the American taxpayer. During the first two solicitations, for a total of 6.3 million barrels, the average price paid was $72.67 per barrel – much lower than the average of about $95 per barrel that SPR crude was sold for in 2022 https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-announces-plans-purchase-another-6-million-barrels-oil-strategic-petroleum-reserve#:~:text=The Administration's replenishment strategy has,was sold for in 2022.

Are you suggesting that Biden is responsible for the global oil prices? ????

Ok, so let's update my comment! The telegraph article is misleading, as it omits to show the Eurozone GDP forecast, which is more than twice higher than the UK forecast. It should also be mentioned that another poster (youreavinalaff), thinks that the IMF numbers on which this article is based may not be reliable.

Yet my post, to which you decided to reply, is about missing information. No mind reading, article reading.

My point is that JonnyF's claim was based on a biased article, in which a key number from the IMF comparison had been deleted. The missing number is showing the opposite of his claim..

Haven't you noticed it's exactly the same numbers as in the article JonnyF proudly linked, plus the Eurozone numbers? ????????????????????

What a biased presentation in this article. Two graphs below. One willfully omitting the Eurozone from the linked article, and the other with the Eurozone GDP forecast. The growth forecast for UK is less than half of the GDP growth forecast in the Eurozone (which includes the weight of the bad performance of Germany). https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/

So still no evidence, just wishes. As concerns Trump he did not ask for evidence he balackmailed Zelinski to make a public statement on TV. If he just wanted an investigation, there were legal ways to do it through the DOJ thanks to a cooperation agreement with Ukraine (provided it would have been correctly predicated). The DOJ did not ask for an investigation using the legal way. Instead Trump sent the crooked Giuliani who not only found nothing (see Parnas testimony) but also debunked Trump's claim.

Only if you consider the Dems as being left-wing, which I don't (apart from a particular fringe, AOC etc...). CNN is 100% pro-capitalism.

Another hit at the GOP lame sweetheart deal argument. ???? "Except Weiss may not actually be able to bring the charge. Last year, the Supreme Court significantly loosened gun control laws when the conservative majority ruled that Americans have a general right to arm themselves in public. Biden’s lawyers have already argued that the ruling makes trying to prosecute the first son on gun charges pointless." Trump-Stacked Supreme Court May Have Already Exonerated Hunter Biden https://news.yahoo.com/trump-stacked-supreme-court-may-164313329.html I guess that Smith was aware of it and that was one reason for proposing a deal.

CNN left-wing? ????

It's a recurrent pattern since the Murdoch group has seen its wallet and reputation hit by the Dominion case. NYPost articles often have misleading titles and content, but the truth can usually be found around the end if the article, so they are covered up.

The problem with anti-corruption policies in Thailand is that, if they are effectively applied, there won't be anyone left to enforce them! ????

Can you enlight us about which crimes the emails are showing?

That answers the question "alleged by whom" (the GOP, of course), but not "influence on what"

Influence on what? Alleged by whom?

Only America?

“I don’t talk about anything. You know why? Because I’m allowed to do whatever I want. I come under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump replied, while also taking a quick detour to bash Hewitt. “I’m not telling you. You know, every time I talk to you, ‘Oh, I have a breaking story.’ You don’t have any story. I come under the Presidential Records Act. I’m allowed to do everything I did.” ????

Exactly. What a coincidence!

Are you that uninformed, really? Or are you knowingly selective about what you "found" with Google? The dark web is known, for example, for hosting drug trade as well as paedophile content sharing and trade (paid with crypto-currencies, of course). Download Tor, and have a look by yourself before you quickly go out and uninstall it.

So you're admitting you have nothing.

But Comer said....????

Average life expectancy is a misleading indicator as it includes early deaths in the calculation (ex infant deaths, people who died before old age from disease, accident, crime, drug, etc...). The life expectancy of someone who is not already dead is higher than the average life expectancy.

Not to mention the devastating effect of Covid in Russia in 2020/2021. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/13/russias-population-undergoes-largest-ever-peacetime-decline
