#1 Note - Ukraine cutoff 1/3 of the of gas to Europe. This means Europe can’t buy that gas from Russia, reducing the income they are providing to fund the war in Ukraine. Unfortunately that also means that Europe doesn’t get that gas to fuel their economy

#2 ...only because of the Brandon Cabal. Seems we were a surplus gas producer before the coup.

#3 Interestingly most of the gas supplying NATO bases is piped in from the east

#4 Embracing green energy and moving away from fossil fuels and nuclear has its downside in the U.S. and Europe.

Got to fill up the old pick-up truck today or tomorrow. I'm getting ready for the ensuing pain. Why, it seems like years ago rather than a little more than a year ago that we were energy independent.

#5 "carrying up to a THIRD of Russia's gas into Europe" is misleading. What they meant to say is "up to a third of Russia's gas that flows through Ukraine into Europe", not "up to a third of Russia's gas into Europe".

#6 "Misleading," of course. Because it's more FUD spread by MI6 through the resident Shitposter's favorite outlet for MI6 InfoOps bullshit.

Look at the Donbas map changes, kids. Note how they've changed, surely and steadily, and tell us who's now in control of 98% of the Donbas.

The suburban Kharkiv counteroffensive is trivial. It will no more halt the inevitable Russian completion of domination of the Donbas and the entire Black Sea coastline than the earlier Nazi breakout in the Korsun pocket did in 1944.

#8 the earlier Nazi breakout in the Korsun pocket

Funny how Zelensky chose to commemorate V-E Day.

"Daddy, why did that little Jewish man highlight his soldiers' SS insignia?"

#9 Zelensky's Post of Ukrainian Soldier With SS Insignia

Lol. It fits him well.

Remember, this is the little chappie who's made himself a dictator, banning all opposition parties and criminalized all use of the Russian language in any shape or form.

Regarding his Instagram post of his Totenkopf warrior, the little shit tried to scrub his "Zelensky / Official" account by deleting it. But the internets are forever: here it is, thanks to Telegram

I had the same story, but I didn't post it. Posting images of Nazism while typing Zelenskiy to them seemed petty compared to the issue at hand.

#11 Yet another reason to stay out of it, as if another reason was actually needed.

#13 Posting images of Nazism while typing Zelenskiy to them seemed petty compared to the issue at hand.

Did you mean to type "tying" instead of typing "typing"?

It was Zelensky who "tied" himself to SS regalia. Zelensky chose, on the day commemorating the defeat of the Nazi war machine, to proudly post his Totenkopf-warrior. Nice.

This is the same clown who told Trump what he wanted to hear and then did a 180 and told Biden what he wanted to hear. The brave warrior for "freedom" and "democracy" who provoked Russia by proclaiming he would seize Crimea and join NATO, who then crowned himself dictator and banned use of Russian.

The little big man who celebrates the memory of Ukraine's notorious wartime fascist, Stepan Bandera, every year. The corrupt little puppet of one of Ukraine's criminal bandit-billionaire thugs who bankrolled the neo-Nazi battalions that launched this civil war eight years ago.

We are yet again supporting our own corrupt little fascist puppet in a shithole of no strategic importance to us.

So predictable: Another multi-year sinkhole, another trillion dollar fuckup by our foreign policy shitheads.

And a cool billion or two skimmed off by Hunter, War-Profiteer Brother Jim and The Big Guy.

#14 #12 More Ukrainian shitposter trolls out in force again. They're desperate. Except for a few acres near Kharkov, the Donbas is now in Russian hands. Russia now has completely landlocked Ukraine. It's Europe's version of the Gaza Strip now.

Why are funding Europe's version of the Gazoos?
How does this benefit America?

Ukrainian trolls, fuck off. Fight your own foolish pointless war. Take the Bidens and Pelosi, Schiff and Miss Lindsey with you.

#17 I wish the Ukrainian trolls and neocon warmongers here would fuck off to Mariupol. I don't give a fuck about Ukraine. Not our problem.

America first. Fuck Joe Biden and his pointless foolish war.
