Why didn't the US just place a shitload of troops in the Ukraine, this could have been prevented?

We just had to maintain oil independence and it would have been avoided.

Bold nations get bolder when their main source of GNP is oil and when oil becomes more valuable. If oil goes higher in price and becomes more scarce, these oil rich nations become richer and more powerful.

Russia's lifeblood is oil, they can now afford to flex their muscles without deterrence, mainly because Biden took a big chunk of the oil supply out of production, the US supply.

That one single move has caused Russia to attempt to expand its borders. Trump was extremely hard on Russia with sanctions, and through US energy independence he kept Putin in check.

Biden's one single move of stifling US energy production has put you and everybody in the world in peril.

Oil is used for everything, when it's price rises everybody pays more for products and everything else. The price of oil now is causing massive inflation and Russian imperialism.

Trump's wisdom made the US energy independent and the number one producer of oil in the world. He was a great president, because he put his country first and made the rest of the world safer.

@therighttothink50 You are correct. It's all about the energy. Zero strategic thinking. Just do the opposite of what Trump did no matter how successful those things were. I hope Biden voters enjoy the up and coming gas prices. They should be kicking in some $$ to help us fill our tanks as well.
