Im finding out that a lot of pro Palestine people are blocking me simply for discussing Russia in a civilized manner. This is not the way guys.. youre going to just isolate yourself into an echo chamber.
Besides, if its not clear; I am against all genocide, including Palestine.
Who wouldn't?

America's fentanyl problem exploded while Donald Trump was in office.
After Joe Biden's last four years overdose deaths are FINALLY dropping.
Now, Trump wants to explode the problem by taxing the everlasting shit out of Americans and unleashing job killing inflation.
People better blame Trump.

The truth is that the surest way to defang and eventually normalize Russia is to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels.
Their economy and ability to maintain their threatening military power is almost wholly dependent on fossil fuel exports.
