Biden and Germany now saying that energy sanctions are off the table.
Well, congrats for destroying oyur energy self sufficiency in the us and for gerany handing russia eu energy security.
how dumb are these people? criminally irresponsible is the answer.
from BBC; The sanctions do not cover the import of Russian gas into the EU. Questioned on this, Von der Leyen said they were urgently looking at how to wean Europe off its dependence on Russian energy.

The problem isn't how dumb they are the problem is they are always the dumbest people in the room yet convinced they're the smartest people alive.
We have the worst collection of leaders in the history of the West (OK, maybe since the final stages of the Western Roman Empire). Most of them were elected only because of polarization caused by the increasing lunacy of the Left (Trump elected because of radicalization of the left in the USA, then senile Biden elected simply as an alternative to Trump - Bojo elected in the UK because of the left-wing lunacy of Jeremy Corbyn etc.).
At the same time, the 'East' has the strongest leaders it has had for decades. This is what happens.

I would follow the money on this one. I would also go after Putin personally with sanctions which would possibly escalate things, its like a wounded dog trapped in a corner.
I do understand at least Putin's security concerns with NATO at its border but, killing civilians who did no harm or threaten Russia is unacceptable.
Reports this morning that Russia is offering talks with Ukraine. The Russian offensive to take Kyiv is being met with strong resistance from Ukraine forces. Thousands in Kyiv showed up at a recruitment center in Kyiv to volunteer to back up uniformed soldiers and were given rifles and ammunition. France reported that it was sending defensive weapons to Ukraine. There are also reports of up to 30 Russian tanks destroyed by anti-tank missiles.
I do not think that Putin anticipated significant resistance and thought that Russian forces would roll through the country largely unopposed like what happened in Crimea. Putin even offered immunity and reintegration to Ukraine soldiers who laid down their weapons, thinking that there would be a mass desertion in face of superior Russian forces. But that has not happened.
Russian forces still have the upper hand and will more than likely be able to take Kyiv in a few days. But the battle could be catastrophic with massive loss of life on both sides and Kyiv left badly damaged. And after a bloody battle for Kyiv, residents are not going to treat the occupying Russian forces kindly. Putin may be facing the same reality that the US faced when the neocons claimed that the US would be greeted as liberators in Baghdad.

Putin has overestimated his military and underestimated the Ukrainian will and their feelings of independence. Cities eat armies for breakfast. He’s already suing for peace because he knows his conscripted force of 18 yr olds doesn’t have the resolve for what comes next. I can’t believe there are people on this thread who think Putin is some great and strong leader. He’s done nothing since 1999 other than to drive his country towards ruin to stoke his megalomania and imperial ambitions.
F&%* Germany and it's "environmentalist i.e. communist, snakes who paved the way for this with their corrupt and unnecessary own-goal energy policy which (along with Biden's evisceration of the U.S. energy sector) put Putin in the driver seat and empowered him to act like Hitler. Always can count on Germans to adopt extremist ideology and bring Europe to war.

Russia is stronger than it was in 1999. The USA and the EU are weaker.
No amount of mindless chest thumping by morons changes this reality.

Seriously, Russia is a joke state. I suspect nearly every Russian citizen would prefer life in Germany if given the chance. Putin is having a temper tantrum and people will die because of it. If anybody thinks that Putin has improved the lot of his country or his people, please let us know. Putin is not a leader, he’s simply a gangster enriching himself and his cronies and leaving a broken country in his wake. G-d, hate Biden or Macron or Merkel all you want, but to think Putin is some sort of strong and savvy leader? What a joke. Xi is another matter altogether, he’s no joke. If Russia didn’t have legacy nuclear weapons Putin and his regime would be nothing. He’s in the running for the worst leader in history.

Boo you! You are the Putin apologist and America hater. Go away Putin lover. You think Biden is worse for the world than Putin. You think AOC is a greater threat to the world order than Putin. You are an angry hater of your own country. Boo you!!!

In 500 years no one will remember Putin's name. They will remember Joe Biden's name though and not for the reasons people like you seem to think.
Russia is only relevant because of terrible leaders in the west.

American power and strength are good for the world. Globalism is bad for the world. Biden is bought and paid for by the globalists.... this isn't complicated.
Putin is an irrelevant leader in an irrelevant has been country if not for feckless progressive leaders who think everyone thinks like they do.

Lol, it's the environmentalists' fault! Green energy includes solar, wind and tidal, which are all able to be produced domestically.

I totally agree on Putin. But he has to stand in line behind Merkel, Biden, Trudeau, and all the dummies of the globalist West for "worst leader award".
Germany financially hitched itself to an insecure bully by preemptively shutting down it's own energy system to buy time to "go green".

Before Joe Biden took office the US was energy independent. Biden cracked down on oil production and now we are literally funding Putin's invasion by buying Russian oil. Europe is funding the invasion by buying Russian oil and gas.
The abject stupidity of "environmentalists" is completely to blame for the Ukraine situation.
Only a moron would cripple their own energy grid in the name "environmentalism" before developing a means to replace the fossil fuels.
It's leftist stupidity 101. It FEELS good to pretend you did something. Meanwhile, using just as much energy as before and leaving it to unregulated hell hole countries to produce the fossil fuels for you is WORSE for the environment.
