From what I have seen, Putin figured out that the West was weak and has been using that to his advantage. Trump used economics wars as a way to gain what he wanted. The best method to win is having an economy better than your opponent. The fact that none of the left and several on the right aren't following this is a bit scary.
The lefties and the rinos get paid even (and especially) when the US declines. They're in the pocket of global powers, after all. US national interests aren't the same as their backers.
No leftist is capable of building anything. That's the point.
He built up the economy. They don't even understand how to do that.
That's why the best way to gatekeep Leftists is by making them actually have to contribute usefully to anything.
I love that the subtext of our energy policies is pretending Russia and many other countries are on a different planet.
It's all planned, of course, and part of their "Great Reset".
Stock up on food now if you haven't already done so.
The real question is why are you friends with residents of those shitholes?
Because I'm from there. It's hard to not meet a lefty in those areas. Sort of like trying to avoid a coffee shop.

Consider it an opportunity to subvert Leftists into making them potentially useful people to society.
I admire your optimism
There are a lot of based people who are only based because they are former Leftists.
The Greek word being translated to "meek" doesn't mean what "meek" means to us. It more closely means "one who knows how to use his sword, but keeps it sheathed"
Yeah, I think that the Conservatives grow up in a normal environment and think the Left are like them, so they think that the Left are normal people who can be reasoned with.
The former Leftists know they are short-sighted, power-hungry, delusional, lunatics who will literally eat normal people's children for power and are trying to defend the normal people from them, desperately trying to explain to Conservatives that Leftists don't even think like them.
It's a really annoying thing realizing stuff you really believed turned out to be false and a lie.
Case in point, Michael Crichton.
I can personally confirm. My burning hatred of leftists partially stems from the shame of having been one of them at one point, as well as an unwitting pawn of their global(ist) agenda. The rest comes from living in California all my life (thankfully that's changing in the next few months) and having up-close experience with varying types of Democrats locally. Long story short; Yes, Dem voters are as dumb and easily misled as the NPC memes suggest, and that makes them as dangerous as the monsters they elect.
Keeping in mind of LauriThorne's response, you still remind me of my dad; a literal Fox News boomer (just turned 60 last year) that only in the last 18 months is starting to realize just how bad things have gotten (going as far as to mourn that I won't get to experience the USA as he did). I’d been trying and failing to warn him of the long-term state of the USA since 2nd term Obama, and I don't like that it took Biden
stealingfortifying the election for it to finally sink in, but better late than never, I guess... On the other hand, he's turned to QAnon (see also: c/GreatAwakening) to cope with the shock of it all, and took the jab for the sole purpose of being able to attend music concerts of bands his age and older...canyoutellihavedaddyissuesI had the same thing with my family. Boomers who voted for Goldwater, Nixon, and Reagan are looking at me warning of the dangers of Socialism in institutions, and they tell me to calm down, until I start citing sources, and they slowly start to realize: "Holy shit".
All the things that we saw in 2014 have started emerging in every single environment, and that's when the boomers notice it. The SJWs appearing in literally every single sector of society including every professional, sporting, entertainment, literary, culinary, horticultural, recreational, criminal, and/or hallucinogenic sector that you can possibly think of.
They realize that some "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" shit is going down, and they're utterly surprised that I'm the radical rightist telling them how to fight it because... GamerGate.
Gizortnik's family: "Why don't the unions deal with these freaks?"
Gizortnik: "THE UNIONS ARE COMMUNIST SUBVERSIVES THAT WERE TAKING FUNDING FROM THE SOVIETS! THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE STOPPED ANYTHING! THEY HELPED STEAL THE ELECTION! THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY WAS RIGHT!"
Gizortnik's family: "... that is a name I haven't heard in a long time... a long time."
Honestly if you're still a narrative leftist at this point, there is no hope for you
You underestimate the power of propaganda.
And it's still nowhere near as expensive as other countries yet many in the States are losing their fucking minds.
The US is one of those nations for whom personal auto travel is a necessity for the majority of its residents. Between the smaller sizes and much more developed public transportation, most of those other states don't have as much reason to complain to begin with because it effects them less.
I think a lot of the US war in the middle east was to stop gas insanity in Europe.
LMAO these people miss the GWB "no blood for oil!" era so much.
These faggots will blame toilet paper for the fact their ass producing shit.
Wait Until they find out how much the government takes in taxes on gas.
My lefty friends have started saying the pipeline wasn't even for US use anyway, so it won't lower the price at all.
Yes, I know.
Ukranian and Russian oil aren't even for US use anyways, but they still impacted the cost of filling your tank.
not to mention, setting up new drilling to produce more oil takes large capital investments.
Where does the capital for new drilling and refining come from? Profits. Profits can be used for stock buy-backs, investment in your company, and actual net profits distributed to shareholders via dividends.
We intentionally do not teach economics in schools. We intentionally do not teach how to run a business. We intentionally do not teach mathematics correctly, or logic and reason, or the scientific method. Instead we program people to be useful NPCs.
