Legend
Truth ^^^^^ And imagine if Russia started a Military Alliance with Venezuela, made promises and agreements to never to expand west/north and made a international agreement to keep peace. Then, a few years later Columbia joins up...tempers flair but we move on. Then little Central American countries leaders feel "threatened" by the US "Government (after all, we have a big history of illegally overthrowing dictators and installing corrupt puppets in that region) so they sign up all the way up to Guatamala. Year later, Mexico says, Fuq it, we want to be part of Team Russia and sign up with a military alliance with them, then the US government goes apeshyt crazy and decides to invade to overthrow the Mexican government and install a puppet of their own choosing in order to protect the National Security interests of the US border and inland.

Diplomacy is a chess game.
I disagree.
1) Putin moved into Syria because Obama was weak. Putin moved into Crimea because Obama was weak. And after 4 years of NOT invading anyone while Trump was President, Putin move into Ukraine again because Biden was weak. There is a clear pattern there for anyone paying attention. Democrats are meek and weak and very predictable. Your own abject fear of a Russian nuclear response says it all. WHY wasn't Russia worrying about a US response when they invaded Ukraine?? Why is the western world the only ones worrying about how Russia will respond to anything we do??
M.A.D. is only relevant if the Russian homeland was threatened. It DOES NOT apply to Russia invading its neighbors and the free world pushing back. We could technically have US ground and air troops in Ukraine as the request of the Ukrainian government defending Ukrainian territory and it would not mean nuclear war with Russia. If Russia didn't want to be in a fight with US troops in Ukraine they could easily return to their own country. M.A.D. is only applicable as a response to a nuclear launch and no one honestly thinks Russia is willing to be the first one to launch and end all life on earth when they invade a neighbor and get pushed back with conventional arms. Putin WANTS you to think that, and fear him, and this is exactly why he steamrolls over liberals worldwide.
Why is it that we are always worried how Russia will respond, and they never sit around hand wringing about how we will respond???? Yeah... exactly.
2) OPEC is apparently near full capacity already. Biden is groveling for them to increase production and they are telling him there isn't much more they can do. Biden is also begging Iran and Venezuela. Biden is crawling all over the world begging for more oil production. Biden is ALSO releasing a million barrels per day from the US strategic oil reserves for the 6 months prior to the election trying to lower gas prices (and who is supposed to refill our war reserves later, and at what cost????)
The US could easily ramp up its drilling and production of oil and gas (heck we could be building nuclear power plants, too) but Biden refuses to do this because (Per Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg) “We … need to make sure we’re not galloping after permanent solutions to immediate short-term problems.” Meaning Biden doesn't want to solve the problem with more oil and gas, which we COULD DO, but would rather suffer in what he sees as the short term on a singular course towards the only long term solution he is willing to consider or accept, and that is a complete transformation of the US economy away from fossil fuels. This is a CHOICE that Biden made. A blunder that is his alone. And in November the American people are going to weigh in on that decision.
Germany and the other woke green energy cultists are feeling the same pains, and are going to freeze their asses-off in winter. Good luck. We'll be too busy righting our own ship to help. Sorry.
Poptart didn't invade under Trump because they were friends lol. Trump spoke highly of Putin. He didn't do it because he was "afraid of Trump" lol.
You do realise they've literally threatened nuclear war if Western powers intervene, right? How does MAD only apply if the Russian homeland is threatened when they are literally saying they will deploy nuclear weapons if the west intervenes directly at all? There is literally a video of the Russian foreign minister saying the threat of nuclear war is real if the west intervenes: Invalid Link Removed
You're also wrong about OPEC, the member countries are refusing to increase supply - they're not near maximal production at all. Just in the last 10 days they agreed to a small output boost, but they have capacity to increase it further but are outright refusing.
