If you want to see who really wants to defeat Vladimir Putin, look at who it is that’s calling for unshackling the oil and gas industries here in the states.
You probably already know that Joe Biden isn’t one of them. Monica Showalter, over at American Thinker knows it too:
It’s the easiest thing in the world: cut off Russia’s oil earnings and watch its war against Ukraine collapse.
A U.S. oil embargo on Russia would destroy its cash stream which is financing 30% of its government, including its attack on Ukraine.
In a war, at least one you want to win, you cut off supply lines. Grant and Sherman understood this. But General Biden is a little different. He wants to keep Putin getting that money until Bad America reforms to a green energy system to his liking. He has a live war in front of him; he has the solution on the table; and instead of taking that solution, he sticks to his green energy “priority.”
The “Green”energy concept has always been problematic, and detached from reality, to say the least. Even the far left in Germany is beginning to recognize that, possibly because they’ve got the reality of Vladimir Putin on their doorstep:

Germany faces ‘gigantic’ task meeting climate goals
Rethinking energy policy
Germany is to a large scale dependent on Russian energy supplies: Russia accounts for more than half of Germany’s natural gas imports and more than 40 percent of its oil imports. They can hardly be replaced quickly.The German government wants to significantly expand renewable energies. At the same time, it was planning to phase out coal-fired power generation and nuclear power. Hydrogen power is an option that is being developed, but not yet at a point where it can yield large-scale electricity output. When the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine, new gas-fired power plants were supposed to fill the energy gap.
To counteract dependence on Russia for gas, terminals for liquefied gas from the US are now to be built.
And the government is thinking of letting the nuclear power plants that are still operating and some coal-fired power plants run longer than originally planned. This is particularly bitter for the Greens, because they want to phase out nuclear energy and coal as early as possible. But “there are no taboos, everything is up for discussion,” says Green Economy Minister Robert Habeck.
Clearly, the leftist mindset has to be hit about the head and shoulders with the 30 lb sledge of reality several times, before they’ll recognize it.
The Democrats energy policy, as well as their foreign policy is precisely why Putin annexed the Crimea when the lightbringer was in office, and is now attempting to annex the Ukraine, while his moronic vp, Biden is in office. By comparison, Donald Trump’s America first policy, while extraordinarily unpopular among Democrats (mostly because it worked) served to keep people like Putin at bay.
The trouble of course is that as his first action in the White House, Joe Biden declared war on oil, and gas. We were energy independent, and were in fact exporting natural gas and crude. All that ended on Joe Biden’s first day, all for the myth of global warming. You can add the numbers of dead in the Ukraine right now to the numbers of those who have been sacrificed on the altar of that preposterous myth.
As Germany is now showing us, eventually the rabid left will succumb to reality.
With somebody of the even more limited mentality of a Joe Biden, it’s going to take even longer.
