This is such a strange take in light of Donald Trump's recent praise of Vladimir Putin. Donald Trump just described Putin's justification for further incursion into the Ukraine, as "genius" and "savvy."
The use of this meme seems to imply that the Russian incursion either wouldn't have happened at all if Donald Trump was still the President of the United States, or that Trump would have done something to stop it.
Just from gauging the rhetoric from Donald Trump's own response to this, what could possibly be your basis for believing that?
Lol...worst take yet after Russia invades Ukraine one year into the Biden administration. Russia has been preparing for sanctions
The Double Irony Of Asking OPEC To Increase Oil Production
Nov 6, 2021,10:54am EDT
As I wrote in February of this year in
The Inherent Risks In President Biden’s Energy Plan:
“If we prematurely discourage investment in fossil fuels — and then our dependence doesn't decline as rapidly as the Biden Administration envisions — that is a recipe for shortages, higher prices, and greater dependence on foreign nations for our energy.”
Like the Obama Administration, the Biden Administration initially adopted a relatively hostile position toward the fossil fuel industry. The revocation of the Keystone XL Pipeline permit and the temporary suspension of new oil and gas leases on federal lands were policies that signaled that the Biden Administration wants to move the country away from oil.
But what happens when Americans aren’t ready to move on from oil, and new domestic supplies aren’t meeting demand?
That’s the position we currently find ourselves in. The Biden Administration could respond in one of two ways.
They could say “High oil prices will speed up the transition to renewable energy” — which is certainly how they feel privately. After all, U.S. officials attended the COP26 U.N. Climate Summit in Glasgow this week, where they discussed plans to reduce carbon emissions. They could tell Americans to take their medicine, live with higher gas prices, and then privately hope that hastens the transition to green energy.
But people don’t like paying higher gasoline prices. So, the first irony is that the Biden Administration asked OPEC to pump more oil, undermining its COP26 messaging of reducing fossil fuel consumption. At the G-20 meeting in Rome, President Biden complained:
“The idea that Russia and Saudi Arabia and other major producers are not going to pump more oil so people can have gasoline to get to and from work, for example, is not right.”
