...And Fox recorded Bumbles already saying that any chance of the US acting militarily...is "off the table".
No..I don't think we should get involved in another war, but DUH... did he have to give Putin any guarantees.
Some politicians have even jumped on the "nuke" suggestion;
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/roger-wicker-ukraine-russia-nuclear-b1971691.html .... I wonder if he has money invested in another war ?
...Bumbles sputters on and on about "sanctions", but he's talking like a man with a paper azzz..
He has one big lever he could throw today and set Russia back, while benefitting America...
HE COULD RENEW OUR FRACKING, DRILLING AND EXPLORATION.. keeping those billions for ourselves, and refusing to allow OPEC to dictate our foreign policy!
...And how about reopening the pipeline construction
With China and their threat to Taiwan... I can picture president Trump telling them... "We are now going to encourage any US corp that has the courage ..to proceed with launching a new computer chip producing effort.
We will back this with action, handing out liberal tax breaks to those daring enough to do so."
To allow huge tax break for a massive chip startup, would be no loss, since we seem to be gathering no taxes from this as of yet non-existant facility at present anyway. It seems that such a plan would pay off well in the long run, as our chip market would expand to the world.
Of course, I very much doubt we will see such a bold move by the Biden administration. After all, moves like that would be
beneficial to the United States...and we cannot have that...why break a perfect record of acting against American interests?
I guess if I were pessimistic, I would think for a moment, that the payoffs from the wife of the mayor of Moscow, the energy barons of Ukraine and the $1.5 billion from the CCP...were having their desired effect.
Then too, we wonder if those highly prized, artistic paintings are helping to pave the way for Taiwan's slavery...
