A clear and concise analysis of the issues swirling around Russian natural gas and ending EU reliance.  Also, the tension between environmental groups that want to go all-out on switching to clean energy, and those who want to boost NG production in the U.S. and other places with gas fields.  Where, in all this, is that spirit of sacrifice and belt-tightening that people had in WW2?  Close doors and shut vents to rooms you aren't using, wear sweaters and turn the thermostat down a couple degrees, be conserving of electricity use in areas where NG is the main fuel for power plants, etc.  (one side benefit of dressing more warmly, with thermals and sweaters and so on, is that when you do go outside it feels less cold and walking/biking instantly seem far more plausible)

Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down... But he didnt know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands.

Lower your fuel bills and strangle some petroterrorists at the same time. Win win.

George W. Bush

19 hours

I was honored to spend a few minutes talking with President Zelenskyy, the Winston Churchill of our time, this morning. I thanked the President for his leadership, his example, and his commitment to liberty, and I saluted the courage of the Ukrainian people. President Zelenskyy assured me that they will not waver in their fight against the barbarism and thuggery of Putin. Americans are inspired by their fortitude and resilience. We will continue to stand with Ukrainians as they stand up for their freedom.

---------------

It is good that George W. Bush is involved, he can still do a lot behind the scenes, he has a lot of connections still, along with Berlusconi, and Juan Carlos, and others.

Salute,

Tony V.

Panzerhaublitzen or something.
Looks like Germany is sending tanks to Ukraine.
Better super late than never.

One of the remaining three major Russian warships in the Black Sea is reported to have received a Ukrainian missile.

Russia denies it and denies the fire exists.

It will be hard to find the evidence without doing some dredging.

Putin dies and goes to hell, but after a while, he is given a day off for good behavior.

So he goes to Moscow, enters a bar, orders a drink, and asks the bartender:

-Is Crimea ours?

-Yes, it is.

-And the Donbas?

-Also ours.

-And Kyiv?

-We got that too.

Satisfied, Putin drinks, and asks:

-Thanks, how much do I owe you?

-5 euros.

Beautiful, Barton.

It looks like Putin would rather see a special military operation fail than lose a war. No declaration as NATO long range artillery moves its way to the front.

Reports have Belarus' forces gathering on their border with Ukraine.

Not good.

Not good.

Ukraine needs to put forces right directly in front of them, do not even let the Belarus forces in.

I hate to sit back and watch Ukraine get attacked without Putin feeling the least bit threatened. Missiles need to start hitting Moscow.

Salute,

Tony V.
