    I'd be interested in your reasoning.

    It looks now as though Trump is headed toward a criminal indictment. The only question is whether it can come before January 2023. If it doesn't, then the odds favor Trumps survival but not his getting the GOP nomination for 2024. The GOP is badly split over Trump.

    It is the latest leaks coming from the Jan 6th Investigation. Seems to mean something. Apparently based on evidence showing Trump knew there was no election fraud -- committee now has proof according to the leaks -- and nevertheless intentionally plotted to overturn the legitimate election results. This, would under those circumstances be criminal. I think the committee is going to try and pierce attorney client privilege. Difficult, but there are circumstances which would allow this.

    ET trolls who are mostly, foreigners should beware. The FBI might decide to prosecute foreigners interfering in US affairs. You might be one of those prosecuted. They got nothing on Trump because it is all bogus concocted to slander him and make him lose in 2016. Paid for by Hillary Clinton. It was Barack Obama too, who sold US uranium to Russia. Remember that?

    He’s a Russian asset by virtue of gutting the state department, weakening NATO, delaying military aid to Ukraine, inflaming division/polarity of the electorate and democratic institutions via The Big Lie.

  9. It's up to Europe to decide whether to impose oil embargo on Russia. Economic sanction doesn't work as long as Europe continues to buy oil from Russia.
    The following is from the article:
    https://fortune.com/2022/03/03/russ...e safe U.S. position,and another 20% to China.
    The safe U.S. position
    Russia exports 5 million barrels of crude oil a day, representing around 12% of global trade and making it the world’s largest exporter. It’s the world’s third-largest oil producer.
    However, around 60% of Russia’s oil exports go to Europe and another 20% to China. The U.S. imports 670,000 barrels of crude oil and petroleum products each day from Russia, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, which only accounts for 5% of its crude imports.

  10. For many, many years Canadian Oil Sands companies wanted to install a single pipeline to be able to aid supply to Europe, but the anti-oil protesting hippies always blocked it.

    I wonder if they are singing a different tune today....
