Ukraine conflict

Quote: Tanko

Now he's destroying foreign economies.

Ukraine President says Biden predicting imminent war with Russia has cost Ukraine $500 billion in foreign investment.

"We don't need this panic. - Zelenski

When you are good at something you are good at something!

Russia has moved medical supplies, including blood for transfusions, towards the border of Ukraine, indicating the country’s preparedness to go to war.

U.S. officials say that it is not just the fact that Russia has moved supplies closer to Ukraine, but rather that it is medical supplies, specifically blood, that clearly indicates Russia’s military readiness.

Thanks to Biden's energy policy, Russian oil and gas revenues increased 51% in the past twelve months.

This blood supply thing could be good. Drives up the price of a barrel of oil. Drives Russian oil and gas revenues even higher. Drives up my oil stocks too.

Brent just broke $90 a barrel. Highest price in seven years. No wonder why.

Maybe it is in their best interest to invade. Could push oil up to $120.

The US better stay out of it or the Russians will kick the living crap out of them. Like every other country they've messed with over the past 75 years.

They gave up on Afghanistan also.

If the US gets involved in a war in Ukraine expect China to invade Taiwan at the same time. The US is no longer near strong enough anymore to fight on 2 fronts.

If Russia goes into Ukraine and stays, Russia can expect all the neighboring countries and NATO to do exactly what they complained about happening. Everything will be bulked up and weapons brought in that weren't there before.

WTF
This has absolutely nothing to do with Biden
This has everything to do with Germany and their policies
If the price of rice rises in China, is that Biden's fault?
Kind of nuts to blame Biden for everything that goes on outside the USA
I doubt Biden has much influence on German energy policies
That's on Germany

Of course it has a lot to do with Biden. He shut down pipelines and fracking. US is now an importer of oil when it was an exporter of oil under Trump.

Shutting down the pipeline construction, was a favor to his friends, railroad owners Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. They don't like competition. It cost between $5 and $15 more per barrel, to transport oil via rail and truck. We pay the difference.

The Democrat war on fossil fuels discouraged the big oil companies from investing in exploration and drilling. Banks refuse to back oil exploration in the Arctic. Expect future oil shortages as a result.

Meanwhile, between the billions they’re saving on exploration and drilling investments, and the 72% increase in the price of a barrel of oil, since Biden took office, oil company Operating Cash Flows are surging.

The price of oil affects the price of everything else, since everything relies on oil, one way or another. Production, transportation, chemical derivatives. etc. The price increases in oil cause a corresponding increase in the cost of natural gas. Due to the increase in the cost of natural gas, fertilizer companies are halting or limiting production. Due to the high cost of fertilizer, farmers are cutting back on crops, which is resulting in higher animal feed costs, reduced livestock herds and expected food shortages. The reduced fertilizer production has also caused a shortage of CO2, which is collected during production.

That was just his first year.

The standard answer here from the most liberal folks for anything bad that happens is that it has nothing to do with Biden.

Oil, inflation, foreign relations, border, etc.

Moving away from oil is one thing. Crippling our oil industry before you have a real solution is just plain stupid. Though we should not close down all trade, we should not allow foreign entities to control too much of our oil supply.
