It seems stupid that many folks are deflecting and posting comments about Trump. This invasion isn’t happening during his administration. It’s happening over a year into the Biden administration. It’s largely due to the weakness that he shows, and his inability to act like a leader. He’s old and slow and soft, and Putin knows the truth. It’s no secret that we had energy independence during the Trump administration - and Biden stopped that immediately. Supply chain issues are because of Biden and his lazy cabinet. Inflation and economic woe is on Biden too.
Maybe other European leaders might think Biden is ok - but he’s a bumbling senile old idiot to most of the world.
Cant say I like any of the last few presidents. Cashman normally presidents step in the turds their predecessors left on the doorstep. This time is no different.
NATO's existence and US involvement was questioned by the last administration. That sends a clear green light to an aggressor to push forward on that weakness. That last old fool did much more to invite this aggression.
Inflation is the result of supply chain issues due to the global pandemic. Its also greatly exacerbated by monetary policy since 2008. These kind of things don't magically appear in a year because of who sits in the Oval Office.
This is only one person responsible for this and thats Putin. He is in desperate straights at home with his own country's economic and pandemic woes. He is taking a huge gamble this is going to achieve his goal of expanding Russian power and his survival. It could very well turn into his own catastrophe creating even more destabilization in Europe and abroad.
@Upright, the Biden-led retreat from American energy production filled Putin's coffers. How did we go from a net energy exporter to begging KSA to pump oil? Russia and Iran are very happy, right now.
We should immediately reopen Keystone XL, put the kibosh on Nord Stream 2, and open up federal lands to drilling.
Tetra I agree those actions were political and frankly dumb. We need more energy independence and That pipeline is part of the solution. This would help keeping our energy costs from rising as much and putting money in our allies and our own pockets
I am referring to Keystone. I suspect Germany may be rethinking about shutting down their nukes. That pipeline they built with Russia is likely going to be idle for some time to come.
Russia did not have a problem finding buyers of its oil on the market whether we buy it or someone else. Its also not hard for the US to switch suppliers and Russia of course knows that (but it does take time). Hard sanctions are coming and the Russian market will be shrinking. It is a bit like squeezing a balloon and the oil will find another home (but likely at less profit margin).
Its weak leverage on the US and short term. Thats not much of a catalyst for war.
War will come to the other NATO members!

On that note the eastern European naked aggression I would embrace would be from blahblahblah
We should immediately reopen Keystone XL, put the kibosh on Nord Stream 2, and open up federal lands to drilling.
Without Democrats' gross malfeasance, this invasion would not be happening.
