Russian invasion into Ukraine is imminent

That’s not a good answer. Try again
Maybe instead of giving money to Ukraine, we contract oil producers to expedite drilling, expand refining capacity, and produce more fertilizer. Choke off Putins honeypot by flooding the market with the commodities that he's getting rich off of.

It seems rather elementary. Immediate approval of oil leases with financial incentives to increase supply. Add government backed projects on federal lands for a higher royalty kick backs to taxpayers. Guarantee oil companies an incentive to over supply the market. For the environmentalists use the royalties for energy efficiency programs.

On one hand we are giving away billions a week to an endless proxy war. Then the war is enriching Russia from increased oil prices while making us have run away inflation because we won't fill the energy gap.

We still have about 4 million barrels per day of unused capacity in refining, and also a depleted strategic reserve. There's no reason that we shouldn't focus on upping our oil extraction right now, even if that means we have to subsidize a few oil producers.

Definitely cheaper to subsidize oil producers and choke out the putin war machine vs just doing nothing and handing over $50 billion per month to ukraine to an endless war. Just maybe oversupplying oil can tame inflation too which was self inflected in the first place.

And you think this is going to be accomplished in a few weeks or a a few months? That still might not change anything in regards to India and China buying oil cheaply. If we don’t support Ukraine at all, then they will basically overrun Ukraine quickly and we still are going to spend more money supporting the next country they set their sights on

Is that how much we are paying per month?

If you can drop the price of oil below Russia's production cost, you cut their revenue stream. Yes, I think we could accomplish it in the matter of a few months, but more importantly the traders that actually set the price would lower their bids so it would have an immediate effect.

Look, we know that Russia will eventually take whatever part of Ukraine they want. Then, if they choose to move on they will take the next country. Either we engage them militarily or we find a way to actually impoverish them.

I agree, never rely on 1 source... In this case, I've seen a few articles on the matter:

Disclose is just an aggregator of news stories from sources like the AP, Reuters, ABC, etc. I have yet to come across one of their reports that wasn't true.
 
Disclose TV is a chud, unreliable Twitter site. Nobody is clicking on that crap
Correction, Ucfmikes. nobody is clinking on that crap who is interested in reality.

It figures that our resident, racist, conspiracy theorist uses that as his goto for disinformation. However, @UCFBS just makes things up and posts them as fact. Or, he’ll cite his own Twitter account as a source 😂

The cesspool at its finest 😊

And for clown #2

 
How many more links would you like @KNIGHTTIME^ ? It’s a chud sight. Igor Chudov doesn’t even use it

It's a news aggregation service. While they mostly post articles that are negative towards liberals doesn't make them untrue. I'm sure we can find news aggregation services that will only report negative articles to conservatives. Doesn't make either fake or untrue.

Never heard of it... Sounds similar to what Drudge Report was.

Now I don't believe or read just 1 source for politically charged topics... I'll go through 5-6 sources to get different perspectives with eyes wide open to the political leanings of each company and "journalist" - which I now consider all to be "opinion columnists".

Do you make your sandwiches at Wawa in aggregate or do you put the whole thing together yourself?

A 'disinformation' factory??!? SAY IT AIN'T SO, Ucfmikes!!!!! :oops:
Sounds like it may be a "selective" information aggregation site, similar to drudge, picking/choosing more Republican-favored stories and conveniently leaving out the rest...

Even primary news agencies do it... Just head over to MSNBC's website... do a word search for "economy" or "inflation" ...you will find no reference to either on the page (as of 12:45pm there were 0 results)... It doesn't favor democrats... Hell, "Biden" is only found once.

Then do a word search on Jan 6. and Trump, then whoa! ...we know where their focus is.

So I've all but given up on 1 stop "news" organizations...we all should, else they have uncontrolled influence on all of us.

Wait? Wut? That would actually take time. Surely our resident unemployed imbeciles don’t have THAT 🤷‍♂️😊

How is a story about Russia cutting gas transport based on not having a pump that Canada won't allow to be returned pro anyone? If anything, it's pro-Ukraine.
 
It’s 50 billion a day like @KNIGHTTIME^ said

Not sure who she is but the $50 billion a month comment was a bit of sarcasm but we don't know the exact actual numbers.
Last month we were already over $50 billion not counting the already purchased equipment given to ukraine. At the rate of spending with the endless war, we will spend a trillion on a proxy war. So either just negotiate with Russia or lose a trillion with nothing in return.

Scorecard

1) ruble gaining value
2) russia gaining land in Ukraine
3) record surplus in Russia from oil



 
So now you link a company that just another aggregation source which they claim is "ai" but not....anyway aggregating data from "fact checkers" which historically are not impartial. Keep trying
YIKES! Looks like those 'historically impartial' fact-checkers who describe the site as a low-fact dive that caters to the internet's Conspiracy-Pseudoscience nutjobs hit a nerve.

We only listen to reputable sources. Big swing and a miss. Not sure who you 2 lovers are trying to impress, but nobody is even reading your BDS-driven nonsense
