CPAC 2022: US conservatives show little interest in Ukraine


Some of the top Republican officeholders in the party, like Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Florida Senator Rick Scott, didn't mention Ukraine at all in their speeches.

Why is That

and Here's another ongoing Lie from Our friends on the right

Rep. Andrew Clyde to Newsmax: Biden's Energy Policy 'Took Away Club' Against Russia

"This goes back to Inauguration Day when President Biden specifically targeted his own personal war on the United States' oil and gas industry,

"If the United States had a robust energy policy where we could be net energy exporters, then we could take away that leverage that Russia has," Clyde continued. "Russia never would have invaded Ukraine if we would have had that robust energy policy in place, because we could have crushed them immediately."

Clyde said. "He's the leader of the free world and he's going to lead, but he's not doing that very well."


seem the world disagrees
Question for him and for those who believe him.. 1st All this in under a year ?

What active oil pumping well did he shut down on Inauguration Day?

Why has No Republican Asked any us oil producers to do their part and increase oil output


no they do this
Senators to President Biden: Why Are You Favoring OPEC Oil over American Oil?

Stating the administration continues to block new federal oil and gas leasing at home.

More BS from the Right
As of January 2021, nearly half (47.4 percent) of the oil and gas industry's public land leases are sitting idle. These idle leases cover 9.9 million acres of national public lands in the West.


November 2021, which is the last data set available, the US imported 254,162,000 barrels of oil. It consumes a stunning 17.2 million barrels per day, much more than the just over 3 million of Russia.

The vast majority is from Canada, 136,090,000, making up over 50 percent of all imports. From Russia, 17,855,000 barrels were imported,

Below is what we have imported from Russia yearly since 2015
But But Biden
