Carrot of Truth
War is Peace
This is one of the boldest lies ive seen in awhile.
Well, he did make sure to hammer home "NATO territory", meaning Russia is free to kill all the Poles that cross the Ukrainian border without NATO itself attacking.Except I think this is about more than the Polish MiGs; this is an open invitation for Poland, Romania, and other Eastern Europe NATO members to get directly involved in Ukraine, to pretty much any degree they want, and still have Article 5 protection.
Honestly I've entertained the notion of calling him that myself, with full awareness of the historical context. He's honestly not far off from earning it.I wonder if the poster is aware of the historical juxtaposition they are making by giving Biden the "Uncle Joe" moniker.
If only that were true.Honestly I've entertained the notion of calling him that myself, with full awareness of the historical context. He's honestly not far off from earning it.
He may not be inclined to starting a World War, but the Biden administration may not give him any choice in the matter. The plan seems to be to bring back the Cold War, so that they can use it to justify the Great Reset and a massive shift towards authoritarianism; but doing so is going to put us the same situation we were in with the last one, where one stupid mistake will cause it to heat up rapidly, and potentially kill us all overnight.That seems an overreaction. NATO (and friends) are already giving Ukraine (probably more useful currently with Russian air defense and competing air forces still existing) lethal aid. Jets would just be more expensive versions of it--and still a step-removed from shit that happened in the Cold War of lethal aid like that being flown by Soviets in Korea and Vietnam that failed to inspire a world war.
For his failings, I doubt Putin is more inclined to world war than were Brezhnev or Nixon.
Biden says the oil companies do not want to pump more oil in the USm and want to just use the oil money to buy back stock.
Not sure if he's full of shit on this, but from what I know of the oil and gas industry...unfortunately plausible.
Edit: Copied wrong tweet initially.
A lot of energy companies have at least a couple green fanatics on their boards of directors that don't want new drilling at any cost.Sort of yes. According to more leftward sources not all currently allowed drilling permits are being exploited because the oil companies, or more specifically their investors, took a bath towards the end of the shale boom and during Covid. They're being slow to expand production specifically to keep prices up and recoup their losses. I haven't confirmed this myself but it sounds perfectly plausible.
This doesn't change the many, many other things the Biden administration has done to chill oil production, such as killing keystone, putting Green activists into the important administratorial slots that oversee all of this, and making grand signals about reducing drilling. That second one is really important since democrats have mastered the art of acting reasonable on the political stage while using goons in the deep state and fourth estate to do the dirty work work outside of the limelight. Anyone who's had the pleasure of working with the Bureau of Land Management knows the playbook at this point.
His stunts with Saudi Arabia and Venezuela are also a joke. Even if Venezuela was a useful oil exporter, which its not since they exclusively produce tar oil and not very much of it now after the economic collapse, going hat in hand to Maduro is not even a short term good idea. And of course the Saudis have been shitstains for decades and really need to be cut loose. They stopped being worth it a long time ago.
Energy independence is a pretty easy formula and even goes a long way to compromise with the greens. A base of nuclear electricity, supplemented by renewables where available, and then with the meat of variating production filled in by preferably natural gas, with oil and coal where necessary. That right there is an actual infrastructure boondoggle that would be worth the pile of increasingly worthless monopoly money we'd spend on it.
Oil is different; they know they will be able to sell it later, and just pumping more now would lower the price, and their profit margins.Honestly, I have trouble accepting that companies are simply refusing to sell their product out of some long-term strategy. Half the problem with modern US Businesses is a tendency to pursue immediate profits right now and working whatever social cause is popular right now at the expense of any long-term development or growth.
I'm not saying I find it impossible but it seems counter-intuitive to me.
Unfortunately, they've already admitted that they're not interested in permanent solutions; they want temporary fixes that will ultimately cost more in the long run.Energy independence is a pretty easy formula and even goes a long way to compromise with the greens.

No other OSINT accounts have anything on it.
The missile attack on Erbil was real, this wasn't.
We are not going to strike Iran over an attack that caused 0 casualties.Well I wouldn't discount a retaliatory strike but it would probably be US cruise missiles doing it.
