We can't win against Putin anyways because you cannot win against someone you cannot say "no" to. Period. And we can't say no to Putin because we sold our soul for his oil and gas. And we did that to elevate our moral stature in relationship to saving the planet. And so here we are, facing a very dire winter hoisted on the petard of our own foolishness and moral presumption. We're saving the planet. We'll see. I don't think so. It doesn't look like it to me and this is the most catastrophic issue here: Assuming that we're facing an environmental crisis of planetary proportions, which is not something I buy, by the way. Assuming we are, well then I would imagine that you would put in place measures that would ameliorate that problem instead of exacerbating it, but all the measures you're putting in place are actually making the environmental problem worse. So how is that even vaguely acceptable? And I look at that and think, "oh, I see, it's just like what Goerge Orwell said about middle class socialists fifty years ago: it's not that you love the planet, it's that you hate humanity."
So, well, have at her, boys and girls. And we'll see what happens this winter, and it's very terrifying to me. Especially here because your energy prices have gone way out of control, and that's going to hurt a lot of poor people. And certainly around the world as well. The World Bank already estimated that we put 350 million people into what they call "food insecurity." 350 million. That's three times as many as the communists managed to kill. Maybe we can manage that in a winter. But the planet has too many people on it anyways, you know, so just poor people.
