No, we agree that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. As always.
It’s pretty funny that you openly admitted that the Dutch could take a 1 week break from casual sex and pot smoking to waste the Russian Empire back to the era of Catherine the Great. Then they’d go right back to hosting Greta’s private jet. The Russian state is obsolete.
The Dutch couldn't conquer a shopping mall in Kentucky let alone fight off the Russians...
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Is there a single subject you know anything about? lol...
65% of Russia's exports are fossil fuels. Have you noticed what fossil fuel prices did in the wake of the invasion? Anything he loses in sanctions will be made up for with increases in revenue from fossil fuel sales.
Correct and Europe gets 35% of it's oil from Russia. Because the US was so stupid, well, Biden in particular, to cancel the XL Pipeline project, Europe has no other avenue to get that 35% of it's fuel from. The Keystone Pipeline project would have helped make America and the EU less dependent on Russian oil. Freakin idiots pandering to green freaks and this is the end result.

Because our decisions should be based on what Russia is doing? Or where Europe gets its oil? Not on what is best for 'merica in the long term?

Liberals are incapable of understanding the concept of consequence. It's beyond their mental ability to understand that the actions they take to make themselves FEEL better about themselves have real world implications.

Name 1 thing Biden has done that in America's best interest.
This is just the tail end of the Cold War, which was the tail end of WWII. Putin is delusional. He's going to be overthrown and killed. If he manages to survive, he's going to be tried for war crimes and jailed. The Russian people and especially the rich won't allow him to ruin their lives for his delusional dreams. This is eventually going to be a step in Russia becoming a democracy.
Some of you guys don't even know what NATO is. It's the combined military of every member, including the US Military. Attacking one NATO member, is the same as attacking every NATO member. This is why Putin is afraid of Ukraine joining it. They will instantly become much stronger than Russia.

Loosened immigration policy to continue attracted the best people globally. Allowing sustained economic growth in the face of rising standards of living and falling birth rates. that is, what originally and has always made America great.

So the last phase of Keystone - XL- would have supplanted Russian (#2 producer) in the world and given the EU oil independence from Russia? In short your are stating that specific phase of Keystone would have replace the EU's 35% supply they get from Russian?
Please supply the exact production/output numbers to support your conclusion.

The US would behave EXACTLY the same way if Canada was trying to join the Warsaw pact in 1985.
You people continually call Putin delusional and crazy yet he's behaving EXACTLY like the US has behaved for the last 75 years.
Jim Baker told the Soviets in 1990 that NATO would not expand east of Germany. Since then NATO has moved to Russia's border.
Russia has been complaining about this for 20 years. Putin said directly on multiple occasions that NATO in the Ukraine was a red line.
A $2 trillion infrastructure deal that doesn't actually include infrastructure was not in America's best interest. Inflation is out of control directly because of pork laden BS like this infrastructure bill.
$10 billion to address "environmental justice"
$20 billion to address "historic racial iniquities"
$400 billion for policies that address so-called “care infrastructure,” including policies helping home health workers unionize and expanding care options covered under Medicaid.
It's theft that's in no one's interest but the lobbyists and corrupt politicians who profit from the deals.

The USA must consider what everyone else is doing and what they want. You can only make "the right decision" when you have "all of the information." Burying our head in the sand and only considering ourselves will cause everything to collapse.
I must admit that I'm amazed that no country wants to step up and actually put a stop to this. This seems like a blueprint straight from 1938/89.

Why haven't you bought a plane ticket and picked up a rifle?
Never underestimate ego and the desire to cement one's legacy. That's something that gets overlooked in these country level analyses
This is spot on. I also agree with the OP's general idea that Putin has stupidly written his unfortunate fate in stone. I overestimated Putin as being intelligent and calculating. He is neither. These moves are bold and stupid.

It isn't over yet... it's a little early to be declaring this a failure particularly with liberals having a 15 minute attention span.

The "last" phase was phase 3a/b which completed the pipeline from Canada to the Gulf in Texas.
Phase 4 was tacked on to add an unnecessary side-leg that lead to oil sand (low quality "oil", filled with sand and clay) lands in the Montana controlled by Big Oil. There is no reason to transport that oil to the Gulf for processing and them export outside the U.S. It can be processed where it is and delivered throughout the U.S. Big Oil is importing a lot of oil. The only reason to export oil sands at the same time as importing oil is that other countries can process it for less, and then sell it back to the U.S.
President Biden wasted no time this week reversing his predecessor's Executive Orders, including the Keystone XL (KXL) Presidential Permit. Although the move was widely expected, federal and provincial politicians still went...
We campaign against the rapidly expanding Canadian tar sands industry, a carbon source that is out of control. Far from bringing America energy security,

It's a little early to tell whether it was stupid or not nancy.
All of the geopolitical geniuses on the running forum who couldn't find Ukraine on a map a week ago have it all figured out... LOL!
