    That's why this isn't the ancshluss -- not even close.

    BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Approvals for companies to drill for oil and gas on U.S. public lands are on pace this year to reach their highest level since George W. Bush was president, underscoring President Joe Biden’s reluctance to more forcefully curb petroleum production in the face of industry and Republican resistance.

    True to a degree - but in less than 36 hours, Russia has pretty much achieved air superiority and is already making its way to Kyiv. It's a fight only in the most basic sense that they are shooting back. But Ukraine is being overrun faster than the Taliban overran Afghanistan, and they didn't even put up a fight.

    I'm surprised by the amount of damage Ukraine has been able to inflict -- seems they immediately used hit and run tactics and they are fighting hard. I'm also surprised by the slow deliberate pace Russia is using to advance into Ukraine -- they almost seem tentative. I read that Russia has already burned through their precision munitions and will now have to rely on dumb bombs and rocket barrages.

    US regime? That doesn't sound very patriotic.

    Do you blame Putin, the aggressor in this hostile attack? That's the big question.

    He does, the Father Carlson Radio Hour features well-intentioned, very liberal regulars like Glenn in Brazil and Tulsi from Hawaii in addition to bog standard fascists and white nationalists.

    It's a real festival.

    Finally the Chinese spy makes an appearance in this thread ladies and gentlemen. Aren’t you salivating by now that seeing Putin invading Ukraine giving your WinnieThePooPoo the green light to take Taiwan?

    This is certainly at least very mixed signals and terrible timing from Biden after saying today he would do everything he could to lessen the pain for Americans just a few hours after this article was released.....

    https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/24/biden-administration-pausing-new-oil-and-gas-leases-amid-legal-battle-.html#:~:text=Cramer-,Biden pauses new oil and gas leases amid,over cost of climate change&text=The Biden administration is delaying,cost estimates of climate change.

    "The Biden administration is delaying decisions on new oil and gas leases and permits after a Louisiana federal judge blocked officials from using higher cost estimates of climate change when making rules for polluting industries."

    Part of the air superiority is inherent to geography. The Russians can not only launch attacks from Belarus but they have anti air stationed there as well. The geography is just terrible for most of Ukraine. Russia can launch attacks from Russia, Crimea, the separatist regions and Belarus. This is clearly bad but I do think that this is probably not going as easily for the Russians as they hoped. The Ukrainians definitely aren't rolling over.

    None of that would come online anytime soon. Those leases are absolutely irrelevant to this crisis. Big thing will be whether Russia is booted from SWIFT which will probably trigger a surge in oil prices. That's the time where Biden will have to find a way to offset that pain.

    I don’t hate knowledge, I’m just feeling bad for you that you cannot even comprehend basic logic. Other posters tried in vain and failed so I’m not even gonna be bothered.

    What policy has Biden enacted that has affected oil production? I'm so curious what your answer will be.

    A good reminder for any of you who believe in truth: lots of false crap flying around... where else... on social media.

    Some already-debunked images and video clips:
