OT: If US Democrats and neocons hate Russia, why not produce more gas?

Started by John Doe June 16, 2022
Europe is still sucking on Russian oil pipes, and Russia's oil revenues are 
up 50%.

If our current administration, and most of Washington politicians hate Russia 
so badly, why not produce more oil? 

Because... Washington politicians just want to enrich the military-industrial 
complex, its investors, and its bribe takers (themselves), at the expense of 
American taxpayers. They know Ukraine can't win. Reducing our oil production 
makes that obvious. They just want to sell arms.

Their cheerleading for Ukraine is a BIG LIE.

It isn't easy, and can't happen overnight. The US has started producing more oil, largely by fracking oil deposits that were previously inaccessible.

That's unlikely to be true. They know Ukraine can't win. They don't. It may take a while before the western democracies can ship enough of the right kind of weapons to the Ukraine to let the Ukranians expel the Russians and maybe even recover Crimea, but Russia is going to have a hard time replacing the men and weapons it is losing. So far the Ukraine has survived, and has chewed up a lot of Russian equipment and manpower in the process. Merely surviving such an attack is a kind of victory.

Russia has the conventional stocks to last for years at the current level of intensity I think. If they feel really pressed they can use tactical nuclear weapons, I don't have many doubts that Putin strongly believes he can use at least a few of those and Europe, and the US and Europe will back down rather than escalate. Hasn't happened so I don't think Russia feels particularly pressured right now. They're taking losses but seem to have accepted the long-haul position is what it is. I think Europe and the US are less well-equipped for the long-haul position, the US economy is headed straight for the shitter and the Biden admin's chances of re-election are about 0% right now, and Putin's buddy Trump's chances in 2024 are looking pretty good. Putin can drag this one out to Nov 2024 no prob

He may be that silly. I don't think that either Europe or the US would be silly enough to let him get away with it. The "escalation" might be the destruction of a single high value target in Russia

You seem to forget that Russia's economy is small - about the size of Texas - if the US and Europe get serious they can swamp Russia. My guess is that this already getting underway. The German talk of re-armament is all about scaling up the factories - the first production will go where it can do the most good, knocking out Russian weapons in the Ukraine. Trump's chances of staying out of prison until 2024 don't look good. With any luck he'll have been executed for treason by then. The likes of John Doe will talk about faked evidence, but you can't fool all that many people al the time. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney

I hope we don't bother, though it's likely a forlorn hope. The US shouldn't be in the business of arming anyone, and with 700+ military bases worldwide is about the last place that should be blathering on about the dangers of expansionism.

I'm against the death penalty, Trump relaxing into senility/irrelevance in his bedroom at Mar-A-Lago until the end of his days would suit me fine. Unfortunately I think we're unlikely even to get that small amount of "justice"

Seems to me that DT did things that are explicitly allowed by the 1st amendment to the Constitution. And questioning the honesty of elections is a worthy and patriotic thing to do. We know that there is cheating. -- Anybody can count to one. - Robert Widlar

"I gave 'em a sword. And they stuck it in, and they twisted it with relish. And I guess if I had been in their position, I'd have done the same thing." said Nixon. The Democrats are clearly enjoying twisting this sword. And if it had been a Democrat president who did the same thing, the Republicans would've done the same thing. But at the end of the day I think they're wasting their time, the hearings will likely amount to nothing of substance happening and in the meantime they're probably going to lose Congress and probably the Presidency in epic style.

<https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/17/politics/donald-trump-accountability-jan-6-hearings-analysis/index.html> "January 6 committee wrestles with the same unsolvable question about Trump -- how to hold him to accountable" Of course they're struggling on how to "hold him accountable", this is America there's no way to hold a billionaire accountable for anything. And the Democrats helped build that reality as much as anyone, I don't shed too many tears that they now find themselves at the mercy of the rules they helped write down.
