    It's all about that Nordstream 2 pipeline I think. Europe is energy constrained, Russia has the energy, US doesn't want Europe to become economically entangled with Russia. American soft power is crumbling like a dry sandcastle and it's lashing out. Not to mention Hunter Biden's personal connections with that Ukrainian gas company (which will lose out big time if Nordstream 2 starts running).

      If you talk about stuff like this to liberals they will think you are some sort of crazy conspiracy theorist. Liberals think of politics like children, they see NATO as essentially no different from a little league baseball team the big bad Russian bully won't let tiny little Ukraine join, for no reason whatsoever besides being bad and Russian.

      Any data or links related to Europe's energy demands or Sleepy Joe's connection with the Ukrainian gas company? Not doubting you, it's just what you said is very interesting.

        I think it might be a bit conspiracy brained to pin the whole thing on the Biden's personal corruption, but Hunter had that cushy no-show job at Burisma. It blew up during the election when the rightists tried to use it as an October surprise and the liberals wrote it off as another Russian disinfo campaign.

        I don't have NY specific stories in mind, but I've been hearing murmurs of energy shortages and price hikes. I can look more into it later when I get home.
