  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Germany is doing its bit:

Germany will deliver anti-aircraft tanks to Ukraine | DW | 26.04.2022

Germany is in a far more vulnerable position than the USA over Russian gas supplies. If supply is stopped that has massive long-term repercussions for the European economy and it is simplistic to say just turn the gas off.

The question of the USA supplying Europe with fossil fuels is a moot point since it cannot even meet its own colossal demand at the moment.
There was a well-thought out piece posted hours ago from InsideSources as to what Biden could do:
He could lift restrictions on U.S. production to increase supply, lower prices and continue exporting liquified natural gas. While exports rose nearly 16 percent in March to a record high, with shipments to Europe leading the way, we can do better.
Europe got hooked on Russian gas despite Reagan’s warnings. It now depends on Russia for about 40 percent of its LNG imports, thanks to a 3,500-mile gas pipeline from Siberia to Germany that Reagan unsuccessfully tried to block.
We can’t help Europe reduce its dependence on Russian gas without a Reagan-like strategy. We need to shorten permit review timelines, streamline (not eliminate) debate over site selection and environmental impacts, and stop the weaponization of frivolous lawsuits.
