biden is too dumb. the best way to defeat russia is depriving them of funds is to have cheap oil below $60.

reagan did this in the 1980's. he worked with armand hammer to convince the saudis to drop the price of oil low enough to affect certain things. this was in the context of the afghan war. it affected russian economy.

Show us where we are paying the oil companies to keep the wells capped in the USA and i'll accept your argument we are dependent on others for oil. That pipeline that donny was for made us dependent on the Canucks. But people are blind to that or try to make an excuse that it doesn't count. Right.

But MAN! I am surprised how fast the $$$ situation took a hit in Russia. Putin is all about himself and his big ego. Well, it's taking a massive bruising right now. Every hour he can't control Kiev is chopping down that big chip on his shoulder. I don't know how long the Ukrainians can hold out. But if long enough, the little thug oligarchs are going to be pulling the long knifes.

Otherwise, idk why you're so hot about where we get oil? Aren't we suppose to be happy to get it at the cheapest price? You can't compete with those slave wages overseas as to what USA BIG OIL charges. I don't give a a squat for them. And as always, high oil prices are good for TEXAS! Be patriotic like your avatar and do your big for America

Ah. Armand Hammer. Got his start being a legal bootlegger. Interesting man to listen to. Only American who could bypass customs in USSR during cold war.

Oh, right... It's a performance issue

Maybe your premise is that once it was built, the Canucks got to use it for free and that we would be burdened with paying to maintain it and be responsible for the costs of loading the stuff up to ship somewhere for free? Is your thinking essentially that there was nothing in it for us expect all the expenses? Not to mention a new, relatively local, supply source whose transportation via pipeline is about the Greenest and least costly transportation mode possible.

Imma thinking your Business-Fu is weak

Trump shut down the economy as did the world , demand dropped.

Fast forward, Big Oil decided returning more to shareholders was more important than reinvesting.

I could go on but I doubt you understand what was just said
