LNG by sea is not really better than coal in terms of emissions and pollution.

It’s absolutely awful. Biden was 100% right to put the kibosh on it. It’s blood money to sell it and we know it. We’re no better than Russia or Saudi Arabia if we rely on this money.

Nope. I consider this the same as refusing to give aid to Ukraine. It’s a non-starter. We do not sell off the future of our planet just to satisfy some GOP donors’ greed and idiocy in order to buy protection for an ally that deserves it without contingency.

The worst part is, he knows Biden is all Mr. Consensus and Compromise all day every day. He’ll consider and maybe even agree to these terms. Which will basically be handing the next election to the Republicans if he does it, who will then promptly cut off all further Ukraine aid anyway.

There’s no situation outlined here where GOP decisions do not lead to the annihilation of an ally democracy. What they want is for there to not be a Ukraine.

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
