2. Glad to see Russia hurting. It will take at least a decade for Gazprom to return to profitability. Smoking accidents at the refineries can only make it worse.

   US LNG and European renewables can ensure we are no longer dependent on them.

3. They are loosing money not because of sanctions but because the state is using their funds to finance the war.

4. Russia, China, Iran, North Korea have evil and idiotic dictatorships

5. Excellent points made in this article.

6. Gazprom and Russia has lost market share… And as the article rightly points out, the US should fill it.

   Biden should immediately encourage gas and oil production. This will ensure Russia won’t be able to rebound while also making the US economy stronger.

7. As long as the population is still too submissive to revolt against him, none of this matter.

8. For those who don’t know how this stuff works:

   While the Putin segments are true, this article is really a pro-gas anti Biden hit piece. Even their swing at how environmentalists are wrong about LNG is basically a lie. 

9. People love a dictator

10. Russia GDP is up 🙂
