According to a forecast made in February. Actually, the latest figures show that exports have significantly increased, and It's not only due to natural gas. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=53999 And production of oil has increased "In the first half of 2022, U.S. crude oil production averaged 11.1 million barrels per day (b/d), up from an annual average of 10.8 million b/d in 2021." https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=54199

Ooooop!

Fake news as usual "CNN "Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests" Parodies refer to a series of altered CNN screenshots for satirical purposes depicting CNN reporter Omar Jimenez during the 2020 Jacob Blake protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, alongside the station’s chyrons. The format is typically used to mock CNN’s original headline, “Fiery but Mostly Peaceful Protests After Police Shooting,” and perspective on the event. The background image behind Jimenez is often photoshopped to include scenes from various media or major historical events with a similar, satirical spin. The format was popularized on a range of websites in late August 2020, after CNN’s original coverage aired, and shares similarities to other previous CNN Chyron Parodies." https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cnn-fiery-but-mostly-peaceful-protests-parodies

It's all the more funny as Trump will get a taste at his own medicine! ???? Citizen Trump may have broken a law that President Trump made a felony "with trump’s signing s. 139 into law, that became: “ … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.” and with that, it became a felony." https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/10/trump-fbi-search-surveillance-law/

Realpolitik on both sides. Venezuela needs money, and the U.S. wants to reduce global oil prices, and also the world's dependence on Russian oil.

The U.S. are already a net exporter of energy. The issue is now to reduce global prices and also to reduce the dependence of other countries from Russia. So it's quite a good idea.

Nobody forced you to reply to a conversation about Poland.

I must admit that freezing b&%?§ doesn't boost morale. ????

Read my posts, I never commented about UK, I commented about Poland. It's you who seem to be obsessed by UK and introduce it in any of your replies.

I fully agree with you. My post was about the "pre-invasion" period, and a reply to a post claiming that the OSCE reports at that time were recording attacks from Ukraine. My reply (I had problems with the quoting function on my phone), was that attacks from both sides were recorded in these reports.

Another lame attempt at changing the meaning of my post. I wrote "It's not only a defense issue, It's about not being under any type of influence from Russia". In case it's not clear for you: - defense issue => NATO, - not being under economic and political influence from Russia => EU Capice?

Are you trying to put words in my mouth now? My (obvious) point was that, due to history, Poles have always perceived Russia as a threat, and even more after the invasion of Ukraine. Your lame attempt at diverting attention towards Poland-Ukraine relation is irrelevant to that point.

@Saanim Lame deflection. My post was about the history of Poland-Russia relations.

I mean both. It's not only a defense issue, It's about not being under any type of influence from Russia.

In case there was any doubt (there wasn't), the Polish people certainly don't want to leave the EU after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

Gag! ???? F---ing nightmare’: Trump team does damage control after he dines with Ye and white supremacist Nick Fuentes "Trump then grew animated about Ye challenging him. “You’re not going to win. You can’t beat me,” Trump told Ye, the source said. “Nick, you work for the guy, and just because you work for him, you’re going to tell him he can beat me? You just got finished telling me I was the best president ever.” ???????????? https://news.yahoo.com/<deleted>-nightmare-trump-team-232425847.html

Like: don't send your kids to school, don't go to shopping malls, don't go to disco.......

When the need to reduce global inflation meets humanitarian concerns! ????

Well, when one country attacks and tries to destroy another country, It's difficult not to fall into "manicheism". It's not Ukraine or NATO which attacked Russia. The fact is that (nearly) no country wants to remain under threat or influence from Russia, because of its past imperialist and dominant behaviour. And on top of it, with an autocratic regime which has not even been able to ensure the economic development and the wellbeing of its citizens. Russia may resent it, but has to blame itself for this situation. You reap what you sow.

It could be that the Pope initially thought that he would be joined in his call for peace by part of the Russian orthodox Church. However, most of the Russian orthodox church is still in holy war mode, so this tactic has been proven useless.

It seems this is completely incoherent: - they were protesting against the obligation to be vaccinated in order to go back to Canada from the U.S., but they had to be vaccinated to drive into the U.S. anyway . - and anyway 90% of truckers were already vaccinated https://www.newsweek.com/canadian-freedom-truckers-protest-vaccines-90-percent-drivers-vaccinated-1674109 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/trucker-protest-convoy-southwestern-ontario-1.6329118

False equivalence

Weren't 90% of truckers already vaccinated? https://www.nytimes.com/article/canada-trucker-protests.html

MAGA talking about "moral fibre", "civil war" and "factual bases", That's rich!

Serves them right. Anyone with a minimal sense of morals would have boycotted this world cup! Corruptly obtained, nonsense from an energy consumption POW, and built thanks to the death of thousands of people. Shame on the FIFA and its supporters!
