Sorry to all my Hannity fan-boy friends out there but, IMHO, old Sean is definitely NOT the sharpest tool in the shed! I mean, what could possibly go wrong with using NATO jets to take out a Russian convoy and just not admitting to it? It seems to me that if it got out, and more than likely it would, that would only escalate the conflict? Can you say WWIII boys and girls or whatever the hell it is you just so happen to self-identify as at any moment?? Using NATO to intervene like suggested in the audio link below just ain’t gonna turn out well for anyone.
Look, I'm NOT defending Russia or Pootie. Arguably, he has some legitimate complaints, specifically with NATO. Invading Ukraine to prevent them from joining NATO was a real boneheaded idea! Remember the old adage that goes “Those who live by the sword, die by the sword.” Speaking for myself, the use of lethal force, to include making war, should only be used in self defense. Just saying. . .
But in Pootie’s defense, let me just remind everyone that when the US was blowing up camel jockeys in Afghanistan to make that backwater mountain desert hell-hole safe for democracy, he didn't try to stop us from using airfields in nearby Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan or any of the other “Stans" that used to be part of the old Soviet empire he seems to want to rebuild. As much as I find what he’s doing distasteful and as much as this puts a grunge on the cool of many of America’s “hawks” masturbating over the thought of getting our licks in, this isn’t our war.
If we really want to help the Ukrainian war effort, the best thing we could do to really hurt "Pootie" is to hit him where it really hurts, economically. Essentially, Apart from caviar, oil, natural gas and their natural resources, Russia manufactures nothing of value. They are nothing more than a gas station in the middle of nowhere. Our stopping our own production to pursue some idyllic wind and solar powered utopia where unicorns $#!+ green energy is driving up oil prices globally and that rise in the price of oil is what’s helping him finance everything.
In addition to the “sanctions” already in place, why not stop giving him $70million a day for his oil. Comrade Jo “Beijing” Bi Deng’s maladministration policies have reduced America to nothing more than a grumpy old man yelling at the gas station attendant cause he doesn’t like some of the things he’s been doing on his side of the street but continues to keep buying his gas from him anyway.
The best thing we could do to help the Ukrainian people is to reverse all of America’s "Dear Leader’s,” peace be upon him, anti-oil industry policies and drill baby drill to take the US back to the oil independence it enjoyed during the (trigger-warning) "Trump" era. That would probably drive the price of oil back down to where Pootie can’t make any money on it and he’ll be forced to withdraw.
That $70million a day we'll save by not forking all the money we don’t really have to "Pootie" could be used to help give the Ukrainian regime some of the material support they desperately need.
