Ecuador and Indonesia have left OPEC. I’ll give you Mexico. The others?

Yes.

The question is not, “Does Russian propaganda claim they are FINE THANK YOU FOR ASKING despite sanctions?”

Even something as simple as a music player (No I don't use a phone) now has a touch screen and the entire interface seems designed to distract you as much as possible. Here I am cycling along a bicycle path, listening to music, when a song comes up I don't want to listen to or the hearing protection randomly engages and locks the device until I touch a touchscreen button. This usually leads to me cycling while looking down for 10-20 seconds. Not exactly safe, now is it?

Not to mention the comments and remarks the anchors make, instead of just reporting the news. It's quite annoying. I know you hate Trump, I hate Trump, but the snide comments, sneers and jeers, detract from reporting the facts.

Yeah, they say that, but would they actually? All of those arms we are shipping to Ukraine are from stockpiles. Stockpiles we HAVE to replenish. Who replenishes those stock piles? Defense contractors who are best buds with the Rethugs. Rethugs are only saying that because it opposes the libs, I would be surprised if they actually followed through on those propositions.

I want knobs, not a tablet with horrific user interface that you have to hunt through menus while driving.

More ebikes. Way more ebikes. And I'm in the mountains in Maine, and I see more and more commuters running errands on ebikes. Including an elderly local farmer who lives a little ways out of town.

I figure when 75 year old Maine farmers are choosing ebikes as a viable transportation option, they work for essentially everyone.

Because you are fucking stupid when it comes to air combat strategy. Move the goalposts, asswipe. You said that the IRIAF basically hid the F-14's. Reality is that they were used as effectively as possible under difficult circumstances.I'm going to go with author/historian Tom Cooper when it comes to IRIAF F-14 operations. When YOU publish, let me know, dumbass. Until then, fuck off, POS!!

No, you're right. The question is, "How miserable can we make the citizens of the EU before they force their governments to give up on the useless sanctions?"

Seriously? You’re going full RT here?

I’ll say it again, so everyone can hear: “Seriously, you’re going full RT here?”

As someone who actually LIVES in Europe, I’ll say that protests are NOT “breaking out all over.” With very few exceptions people and governments continue to be supportive of Ukraine and resisting Russian aggression. The “heated” discussions about a looming fuel heating crisis revolve around “What is the government going to do to support us,” not “Quick, appease Russia so we can buy their cheap oil again!”

Try again.

Is that what RT says? Dunno, don't read them, not a big fan of propaganda, from the US, Russia, or anyone else.

Are you of the opinion that the European public is willing to freeze to death this winter, or starve to death by spring, just to support the most corrupt country in Europe? If so then you don't know many Europeans or much European history.

Do you know why OPEC just lowered output? Because the US/EU political leadership declared they were going to arbitrarily dictate the price at which Russian crude could be sold for on the international market. Now the whole planet is paying for that bit of stupidity, which in the long run is going to be unenforceable anyway.

Wow - that’s honestly so much Russian-stroking argle-bargle that I just can’t even. You be you Boris.
