Are Europeans watching this? This war was all about profits and geopolitics, never about Ukraine.

More sanctions .. if sanctions worked this war would be over .. madness ..

I feel like our homes were seriously taken advantage of by folks. God bless our nation.

PLEASE, stop talking about Russian State Owned Companies!
ALL of our major companies are State Controlled, a difference without much distinction!

[plissnakesken]

Barasso seems to overlook the fact that US LNG was incapable of selling much more than 20% of European Market demand for gas?
The Sanctions appear tailored to drive Russia Out of business so LNG could thrive in European Markets?
So why does the Wyoming Senator fail to mention that driving competing businessmen out of business, was considered a bad thing when the Standard Oil Folks did it, but when the US Government does it it is considered OK?
The element of Ethics seems to be something that Senators check in the Cloak Room, and they are not permitted in a Committee Room?
