"The 1980's are calling to ask for their foreign policy back."

Short term they have stockpiles.

Medium term the Biden admin has supposedly worked out an agreement with Qatar to goose production and exports to Europe.

Long term this might actually get LNG terminals built in the US.

Also, I can think of one thing Germany could do to reduce it’s dependence on NG.

Are the 1980s calling them, too?

What the hell are you talking about?

The thread title. Did Mexico borrow someone else's foreign policy?

"But Captain, as you can see, there is no incursion."

No I’m saying we should be worrying more about our borders rather than Ukraine’s border.

The only people who might be coming over our border are people interested in helping to solve the labor shortage that Republicans keep whining about.

That's a far cry from Russian tanks.

Not to mention many of them are fleeing conditions we had a hand in creating.

Brown people looking for menial work versus a despot bent on destroying democracy and setting precedent for the unchecked expansion of autocracy across the globe?

Yes, definitely the brown people picking carrots are of greater concern.

Who said anything about brown people picking carrots?

Who else is coming over our borders? Cocktail lounge singers?

Terrorists.

Seems to me we're doing just fine growing our own.

Yeah, I don’t care about their occupation, I care if they’re here illegally.

They tend to fly business class and/or are home grown.

Also drug smugglers.

Ditto.

Most drugs come into the U.S. through ports, not over the border.

Just another inconvenient fact for you to ignore.

Okay, Inspector Javert.

Did 9/11 just happen in @Federal Farmer land? It's seems he's stuck on some 2001 Republican talking points dug up to avoid the uncomfortable reality that democracy is failing and he's next (by design).

Democracy is failing, I thought our elections were as secure as they’ve ever been?

Democracy is failing because, despite our elections being as secure as they've ever been in the sense that actual fraud is damn near impossible, a mob of shrieking right-wing lunatics is bent on denying any election that doesn't go their way.

Yet Joe Biden still sits in the White House.

Do you not understand what I meant when I said democracy is failing or are you purposely pretending not to know in order to avoid the sad truth?

Not because they didn't try. And now the MAGAts are trying to make sure that the Republicans who actually held onto some democratic principles get replaced by obedient fascist footsoldiers.

I disagree with your statement and I continuously vote for people I know never will win.

It's begun. Russian forces have invaded Ukraine proper.
