The dems are desperate to stop Trump from running. Desperate to indict him.
what are they afraid of if Trump wins?

America is truly a banana republic.

No, we are not banana rep. We are home of the brave!
He is not the only qualified person in the party. What does he want to do that he didn't do the past four years ? Why come back after being defeated ? Are there no other person in the party to maga ? Na only you dey?
Give others chance so we the people see road.

I do hope Pence, Romney and others come forward and not be intimidated.

Hope they pass it. Lower insulin, some medications, inhaler, epipen etc....many in the society cannot afford them.

benalvino3:


They should not have to pass it if they didn't touch anything or undo Trump's work. Trump bring down the cost of insulin to $60 and why Biden came he froze policies and today people are buying insulin for $500.

basilico:


Id say Biden works under Trump. all he does is to reverse Trump policy. Biden has no policy except climate change nonsense and to keep paying Americans to stay at home because covid

We never get along I acknowledge.
Trump is the face of the GOP conservatives. Many in the GOP dont like him.They are are what is called uniparty. Happy to make their cash while pretending to be conservatives. they are happy to work with democrats when it comes to many issues,
Trump was a disrupter. Came in to spoil the party. They hate him because of that. Both democrats and GOP

Thats why I support Trump. He dont buy me shoes.

where is the quote? let me see how you want to spin this because Simone Sanders wanted the job so bad but Biden messed her up. She single-handedly got him into the white house... although they used fraud as Biden confessed with his own mouth.

You have a gas tank?

https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1590106/germany-russian-gas-gazprom-putin-cuts-off-supply-ont

Ibime:


That article isn't correct. Gazprom is basically selling their German division (downstream) to avoid unfavourable regulation, not that supply has stopped.

Also Germany has a few months supply.

Gas is something that moves quickly and that volume Russia pumps cannot be stored by them, so the clock is ticking on Putin, not Germany. They will come to compromise.

basilico:


Europe gets 40 percent of it energy from Russia.

Ibime:


Germany gets 40% of it's gas from Russia rather.

Your guy Trump did warn them that Russia will use it for blackmail but they didn't listen.

Regardless, it's a buyers market, not a sellers one. Russia have nowhere to divert or store the gas and need the money. Meanwhile countries are making their own provisions long term. Putin has really shot himself in the foot, however you look at it.

basilico:


check my previous post.
China has insatiable energy needs.India too, I think russia is doing a pipeline to China.Europe has no better source of energy than from Russia.

Ibime:


No they don't.

China is on good terms with Iran and Iran has mothballed 1m BPD capacity because the international community won't deal with Iran. If China was so hungry, they would eat Iran's unused capacity.

China can increase Russian supply slightly but it will still be at knockdown prices, and no country sets up it's supplies to be wholly reliant on one source that can blackmail them.

At some point, China's goals and Russia's do diverge. Russia imports goods and exports commodities while China exports goods and imports commodities. Chinas aim is a strong dollar while Russias aim is a weak dollar. These two aims diverge. Not only that, but China does not like increase in Commodity prices, same as Western World.

If China should ever tell Putin to chill, that his actions are increasing their cost of production and Putin controls 100% of China's energy supply, China will not be able to assert themselves

basilico:


China has 600m middle class The country needs a lot of energy, Probably they dont want source of their needs but we have something called hedging. You fix energy prices maybe annually.

Ibime:


China are already meeting that need as it stands from several sources including Russia

Truth be told, China cannot afford energy prices to skyrocket. At some point, they will want Putin to chill.

I don't think they will want to be wholly reliant on Russia. Sino-Soviet relationship has never been rosy even in the Communist era. Where they see eye to eye is on Taiwan and Ukraine, however China are smart guys that count the cost of everything. China don't have a large revenue product like energy that they can sell if their attempts to take Taiwan leave them shut out of Western markets. I believe China will take Taiwan with leverage and diplomacy. The cost is too high.

So even when you are allies with someone, when you ally becomes a barking dog that threatens your National interest, you need to be able to bring them to heel, and China taking 100% of its energy from Russia will put it in a vulnerable position to put Russia in line when Russia's actions go against it's National interest. China is an ally with North Korea but dine with them with a long spoon because North Korea is too much of a barking dog. There have been many periods of strain of relations with China and North Korea including when China backed UN sanctions against North Korea, because China knows the market it mustn't lose (Western market).
