I read that as well. Putin denies it of course. I don’t trust rumps word on their relationship especially given how he talked about rump publicly. Like everything else rump just declared he was the best at everything. Reality never mattered. I don’t say that just because i hate him. The evidence is overwhelming. He would just declare what he wanted people to believe and many would so he just continued. Putins reaction whenever meeting Xi or the new Saudi prince has always been much more gregarious and relaxed as opposed to don. He seemed pleasant but nowhere near as much as don was towards him and not even close to how he acted around the Saudi prince. They act like old frat buddies. Rumpus would meet Puti and make Russia friendly announcements, then puti would rail rumpus on Russian tv. Even laugh at him and suggest he was in his pocket. rumpo kept saying puti wouldn’t want to disappoint him even when told about comments puti was saying. He would say “No. He never said that”. Its like dude we have a recording in 5k with multiple translators confirming it, including government translators.

There is an old horror film called In The Mouth of Madness. Its about a writer of horror who had so many followers believe his fiction that it became a religion. Whatever he wrote would come true. trump seems to think this a documentary. Thank god he cant write.

I rather liked Don’t Look Up. I don’t know what the critics verdict was but I thought it was a spot on parody of a number of things we were, still are to some degree, dealing with. Now maybe you can substitute Russian nukes for the meteorite.

 

Huh. I don’t remember that one. Maybe I’ll check it out.

 

Sam’s role that always comes to mind for me is the clueless dick he played in The Piano.

 

Mid nineties. It fits really well. The main theme is that Neil doesn’t believe what’s happening and people keep telling him it doesn’t matter. We do.

I chuckled a lot through it. Very tongue in cheek.

Its the third in John Carpenters apocalypse trilogy. The Thing (my favorite movie of all time), Prince of Darkness and this one.

They asked donnie how he thought the Ukraine war would unfold. He responded “Windmills don’t work” but not before admitting that Putin told him he wanted Ukraine. Which of course would make everything he said about thinking Russia was on a peacekeeping mission BS but did anyone believe that anyway?

You and the Republicans also seem to miss the point. Unless green energy development is invested in, it will never meet our needs. Republicans INSIST on reliance of petroleum which means oil imports are critical to our economy. If we want to cut imports, we need to develop alternatives that don’t routinely cause ecological disasters. If we learned anything in the last two years, its that we can solve problems quickly if enough resources are thrown at it. But that wasn’t rumps point. His point was he should have been given the presidency even though he lost. Which is the point every time he speaks. The secondary point is that rump lied about Putins intentions for years and just admitted that Putin acknowledged wanting Ukraine.

We are an oil producing nation. Obama set goals for alternative energy and fuel efficiency and air pollution standards. Thats were progress comes from. rump rolled back or eliminated requirements and regulations under the guise of easing the burden on poor businesses affected by them. Really it was just allowing big businesses and oil companies to maximize profits. Why don’t the Republicans want green energy? Because petroleum companies pay them millions. Republicans have been tied to oil lobbyists for as long as i can remember. Nobody suggested shutting oil off, just bolstering it with alternatives. If we had a stronger renewable energy base, the oil crunch wouldn’t hurt us so much. Waiting for the oil to run out before admitting we need a replacement is like waiting until people are dying before admitting covid is a problem. By then its too late.

High gas prices are simply a matter of supply and demand. Here’s some articles you don’t have to be an economics major to understand. They’re similar articles but slightly different.

It seems to me that it would be the prudent thing thing to do to invest in alternate energy sources. Sooner than later. You gotta start some where or petroleum will continue to have the world by the balls.
