How natural gas contributes to Russia's global influence

It is not just with military might that Russia impacts the world, the country has vast oil and gas reserves. With much of Europe relying on Russian gas, Putin's pipeline diplomacy now has its sights on China. #CNN #News

We have tons of natural gas in the united states

[Nollic]

Maybe you people shouldn’t have spent the last decade trying to get Americans to stop our own gas production.

The US needs to extract and refine oil as does Canada. Get the pipelines built and running. It's time North America became self-sufficient. Alaska has oil. Alberta has oil.

The image for this video stupidly showed an oil pump while this video is about natural gas,

The Ukrainians sure could use that $86 Billion in military equipment that old Joe gave to the Taliban.

More importantly, Russia has leaders who can think strategically unlike the reactive, hysterical leadership in the west. Many Americans have no clue what this conflict is even about and choose not to educate themselves but instead to follow blindly the hysterical and emotional rhetoric of the US corporate owned news and social media. NATO, which was formed in 1949 solely to prevent USSR expansion, should have dissolved when the USSR collapsed in 1991, instead US Secretary of State James Baker assured Russia's Gorbachev that NATO would not move eastward - that is what NATO has done ever since, moving closer and closer to Russia's border. Most recently Ukraine indicated they would join NATO (now NATO could have told Russia upfront they would take Ukraine but they waited until the conflict was in full swing to indicate Ukraine would not be admitted to NATO), Ukraine also suggested they would pursue nuclear weapons, in addition they had a large military presence near the border of Donetsk and Luhansk, two regions of Ukraine who voted to become independent and Russia acknowledges their independence. Furthermore, Ukraine has failed to follow the Minsk agreement, this conflict began in 2014. The US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan for security concerns and those countries are not anywhere near our border. Americans would benefit from doing research instead of blindly accepting what their leaders and the government's propaganda arm, the corporate owned news and social media, tell them.

There are friendly countries that have oil for sale, you don't have to deal with dictators and countries bent on war.

Boy I wish we were allowed to be self sufficient again. We could actually help people again if we were able to help ourselves

only thing that really matters - Matthew 24 KJV ''6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.''

Sorry I am only 15 but I don't understand why was there no gas shortage and sanctions when Iraq was attacked?

[mlow]

Energy Independence, was a very real thing. Brandon is beholding to buying oil from overseas.

China's industry plus Russia's oil/gas/coal is a bit scary.

Failed examples of communist and socialist
economic policy in the world.
1. The Soviet Union, due to bad economic
policies divided into 16 pieces.
2-After the death of Mao, in 1975 China
adopted privatization policy.
3- After Nehru's socialism failed,
India adopted a privatization policy in 1990.
4- In Nepal communists and socialists
are complete failure too.k

Moral of the story: We need their oil so that a gallon wouldn't cost us 10$.As it is the price is rocketing.

@ 2:14 to @2:24 the guy is totally wrong about Russia cutting off gas supply' to countries that do not abide by Russia's rules. The country I am talking about is is so fucking obvious. Answer is Ukraine. Russia 1st cut gas supply to Ukraine around 2010. I remember this because I had made friends with a woman from Ukraine who told me her countries gas was going to be turned off soon by Russia and then about a week later she was telling me she had to wrap her legs in blanks when she was talking to me on her computer because there was no more gas coming to her country.
Putin was on the news saying that Ukraine owned him money for the last gas year or so. So I do not understand why this guy is saying this.

[Eyemallfunkedup]

Here is the problem with our addiction to oil and gas. Let’s move on from this.

[jamtommy]

Every day we draw closer to WW3 ...
To all those who were freaking out saying Trump was gonna crash the economy and start World War 3.. Congratulations, you were only off by *One President.*

Moderna's CEO cashed out stock options through the 10b5-1 plan which allows executives to sell a predetermined number of shares at regular intervals to avoid the possibility of insider trading.

That was all pretty obvious - I was hoping to learn something new.
