Apparently not many that were polled.

Learn about opinion polling ... and how it works.

:tearsofjoy:

100,000 Ukrainians have signed up to the territorial defense forces in 10 days.

62,000 overseas Ukrainians have returned to their country to defend it.

Foreign nationals are heading over to enlist, including US persons.

Who would ever have thought there would be a Ukrainian Foreign Legion ?

He's managed to rally a nation ... and the world.

Unlike the Orange Guy and his patron Vlad ... who are, and always will be, sad, pathetic losers.

Newsflash: Oil is a global commodity.

Therefore its price tends to be effected by world events.

;)

BTW - that's a pretty tough needle to thread:

1. "Biden still allowing imports of Russian oil !!!"

2. "Biden responsible for rising oil prices !!!"

Good luck to you sir !

:tearsofjoy:
It's the amount of oil.....which is not enough to even put a dent in what we use here which is why we needed the xl pipeline.

We not only need the Keystone pipeline, but also reinstate the oil leases and natural gas production that Biden cancelled so we can get back to full energy production we had a couple of years ago. Everybody's talking about the gas stations now, but wait until we start seeing the price increases at the grocery stores due to the drastic increases in fertilizer prices. How many people realize Russia is a major exporter of fertilizer?
From this Bloomberg article dated March 2nd:

"Pandemic-induced supply bottlenecks and the rising cost of natural gas, a key production input, are among the factors sending fertilizer prices soaring. Add disruptions stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and consumers will be paying more for almost every plate of food. “You think they squawk about having gas go from three to four dollars a gallon?” says Riensche. “Wait until the grocery bill is $1,000 a month.”

You do realize that even if that pipeline was completed today and the oil started flowing tomorrow once it was refined in Texas it would be loaded onto ships and sent to China right? And in the end it would have caused gasoline prices here to actually rise.

The company that was going to operate the pipeline was probably glad when Biden cancelled the permit, it gave them a way out, they knew what the future was, demand would have dried up long before that pipeline would have made any money. That's why there was never much fuss about the cancellation from the people involved.

Say what? Where did you get this absurd assertion?

This is pure speculation based on nonsensical fantasy. The idea that there was "never much fuss about the cancellation" is patently false. Canada and the Canadian company involved sued the Biden administration for $15Billion over the cancellation. There was also a lawsuit filed by 23 states in the US. This is common knowledge available with a simple internet search.

Right, they will sue the government to try to recoup the money they already spent (wasted) and guess what, we the taxpayers will probably pay for their stupidity.


Here read the report for yourself.

This report was prepared in 2011 and was an analysis of job creation by the project as proposed at that time. Keystone was modified several times after that and certainly wasn't concerned with the amount of oil to be transported to American refineries. This report is irrelevant to the current situation between Russia/Ukraine and today's oil market conditions.
