De ~ "But I think perpetuating the war does something else that more directly supports Democrat causes. Namely, it cuts off Russian petroleum from Europe, essentially leaving Europe without oil. This favors Green causes, does it not? And for $40 billion, the amount of change the expense will through comes at a very low price."
Not that the leaders of the American Democrat/Marxist Party care, but this potential "side benefit" ... as is the usual outcome of leftist policies ... could very well backfire on the Environmental Marxists - if Europe goes through a cold winter without sufficient fossil fuels and "green energy" can't deliver, it could easily cause Europeans to turn their collective backs on the greenies in favor of more reliable, old school energy sources.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
