My visceral lizard brain reaction is to swing America's dick around, get Russia removed from influencing NATO, and add Ukraine. Prepare for all out war. If NATO can't happen then disband NATO and start a new NATO replacement.

My less dumb brain reaction is that we can't really do much about it other than sanctions because we shouldn't be the world police and we don't need Americans to die over stuff happening abroad. Europeans have had a long time to build up their militaries but they always depend on us then complain about everything we do.

It's an impossible situation.

edit: bad word choice on Russia and NATO

You listen to why Germany gave Biden a complete limp dick of sanctions that just went for the Bernard "Venezuela" Sanders appraoch of but muh billionaires.

Germany has up to 50% of their gas resources tied up to Russia. Russia can end them by just putting a cap on the border.

First obviously energy independent US. Then NATO.

NATO will break because of this. It took one call for the second biggest member to say hold on buddy boy.

Yeah, i don't know what the hell I was typing there. I was trying to say get Russia removed from having say over NATO membership. They are the ONLY reason Ukraine is not a member and now that is allegedly the reason NATO isn't helping.

Umm- this is probably equally unsmart.

We have something they want. We can say. We promise Ukraine will never be part of NATO.

We can also say - congratulations Ukraine - you are the bridge btwn East and West. That can be a power position / cat bird seat broker of peace btwn Russia and NATO.

Let them have Ukraine if they give the receipts on all the corruption and pedophilia that our politicians are hiding.

Got dammit. I can't write words good. Yes, obviously Russia isn't in NATO since they are mad at the prospect of NATO expanding to more of their neighbors. We shouldn't have let Russia have a say in that because it obviously backfired.

-Lift domestic oil and gas production restrictions immediately
-Begin shipments of natural gas to Europe and apply pressure for them to at least temporarily restart coal or other plants to ensure Russia cannot threaten heating capabilities in winter time
-nothing else matters until those conditions are met because Putin holds all the cards

Start drilling for oil & gas everywhere. Start fracking everywhere. Become the world's largest energy supplier. Get the entire Western world to agree to not buy any energy from Russia rendering them completely f*cking useless.

Of course, since we know that Raping Joe is beholden to the EnviroNazis who helped commit massive f*cking voter fraud to put this corrupt, dementia-riddled piece of FILTH in office, this will never happen.

As was said over and over again during the election, energy independence is the number one national security interest in the f*cking world.

Other than what other pointed out about the NATO flub.

Immediately remove all the EO’s and burdens potato put on the oil and gas industry and drive the price below $50 a barrel.

Tell the EU either you buy American natural gas or we are out of NATO and they are one their own with Russia.

Also, put troops on our Southern border and deport all the illegal aliens potato allowed in the country.

I start working on America first.

Defend our borders, clean out illeagals, clean up our election systems, abolish the income tax, fire the IRS, FBI, and CIA. Abolish trannies from the military, abolish affirmative action, abolish public sector unions, reestablish energy independence, restore our nuclear weapons stockpile.

Thats just a start.
