But the facts are the facts are the facts, and the facts are these… Thanks to the West’s environmentalists, those smug greenies who are more concerned with carbon output than world peace, this gangster controls much of the energy going to the European Union (E.U.). Per Statista, here are the countries most dependent on Russia for natural gas. The percentages tell us just how dependent:
North Macedonia (100 percent) Finland (94 percent) Bulgaria (74 percent) Slovakia (70 percent) Germany (49 percent) Italy (46 percent) Poland (40 percent) France (24 percent). It gets worse.
As of 2019, a full 27 percent of the European Union’s crude oil, 41 percent of its natural gas, and 47 percent of its solid fuel (mostly coal) come from Russia.
Why?
Well, it’s very simple. Russia is not stupid. Putin is not stupid. He drills and digs and fracks while Western countries pat themselves on the back for closing coal mines, refusing oil leases, and shuttering nuclear power plants. And in doing so, even at the expense of giving the gangster Putin leverage over them, these Western countries pat themselves on the back for decreasing their carbon footprints and going green…
Meanwhile, Putin is given control over the very thing that allows Western Civilization to remain Western Civilization: energy.
Without energy, we are back in the dark ages within a few months.
Ah, but our Western Wackos, our John Kerrys and Joe Bidens and Barack Obamas and Angela Merkels don’t want to get their hands dirty producing energy. Instead, they choose to take advice from a weird little girl who doesn’t go to school and import the energy from a gangster who is open about his expansionist ambition and who is not afraid to dirty his hands dirty digging and drilling and fracking.

Thanks. You Aholes.
From the get go, green was the new red.
Joe is still importing Oil from Russia....what a fool..
Trump warned the europeans about getting dependent on Russian energy...
True and The greenies can stick it up their windmills if the can get their empty heads out of the way.
“Without energy, we are back in the dark ages within a few months.”
He makes a good point but the above is a drama queen statement.
The 18th and much of the 19th century were hardly the dark ages.
Best to avoid hyperbole.
We were and the World were just fine up until THE RESIDENT!
And it is so incredibly obvious.
I don’t blame them. I blame the traitors in D.C. and on the bench for allowing a blatantly obvious fake election to stand.
Uh oh - there's another Republican "praising Putin"
That’s the real take on it! The Environmentalist Whackos weren’t able to cause this when Trump was President.
Watermelons.
The only issue in my world.
“ Russia is not stupid. Putin is not stupid.”
But America is. They will keep on buying electric cars powered with fuel created by coal and gas - so they can enrich the cronies of their corrupt politicians. They will keep on believing the Green religion just as fervently as ever - because they don’t know what else to do.
It’s right in front of America’s eyes and yet they will keep on believing the words and narratives of the propagandists. A stupid nation will win stupid prizes.
Greta Thunberg might as well be driving the lead Russian tank. :)
That’s an intelligent way of saying they suck.
Yup. We went from exporting oil to once again buying expensive foreign oil. Shut down our oil fields to keep the envirowacko’s happy. Sticking liberals. They whine, cry, yell, cuss, demand, everything their way while someone like Kerry has six houses, 12 limos, private airplanes flying all over the world every stinking week. Yeah, we go from $1.80 per gal here in Bama under President Trump, to now paying $3.20 under the communist puppet Deadbrain Uncle Joe Stalin-Biden, the world’s weakest leader, just like his pappa, Hussein Soros-Obammy. @$$hole$ every stinking one of them. WAKE UP AMERICA. We are hanging on by the very tips of our rapidly clinging fingernails. We don’t have much time left. GOD gave us this nation. He is withdrawing His hedge of protection and we are sinking FAST. Wake up before it is TO STINKING LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah Brandon is Einstein compared to Putin. /s
Didn’t Churchill say something about negotiations with a Tiger when your head is in it’s mouth?
“Perhaps the EU should not have outsourced its energy policy to a Nordic teenager, and covered up for that ineffective policy by outsourcing its energy supply to the dictator of Russia.”
Shapiro said with that.
