Lots if threads on here about the Ukraine invasion. I understand why you'd want to deflect from the topic, but this thread is about the legacy media's recent confirmation of the authenticity of the Biden pay-for-play corruption scandal, as detailed in the records retrieved from his son Hunter's laptop.Some worry about Hunter's computer. Others worry about the conflict in Europe.
It starts by discussing the issue.
CNN reports, "Europe will consider joining a US-led embargo of Russian oil this week as the West looks for new ways to punish President Vladimir Putin for waging his devastating war in Ukraine.
"At a series of meetings beginning Monday, EU leaders will discuss whether to dump by far the biggest supplier of oil to the region, having already committed to cutting Russian natural gas use by 66% this year."
This is a huge step for Europe. Its economy is dependent upon Russian oil, coal, and natural gas. The European Union currently depends on Russia for about 40% of its natural gas. Russia also supplies about 27% of oil imports, and 46% of coal imports.
By the same token, Russia's economy and state revenue is highly dependent upon energy exports, according to the BBC.
"Overall in Russia, oil and gas provided 39% of the federal budget revenue and made up 60% of Russian exports in 2019. The share of all fossil fuel revenue amounted to 14% of the GDP that year.
If the EU cuts off Russian energy imports, to say the Russian economy and government would be devastated would be an understatement.
So, European officials are talking about it.
"We have to discuss how we can support Ukraine even further, politically, economically, with humanitarian aid, security wise, everything is on the table. So we can ensure that we will do what we can to stop Putin and his aggression against Ukraine," Denmark's Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod told reporters. "It's important with economic sanctions to continue along that track."
"I think it is unavoidable to start talking about the energy sector. And we definitely can talk about oil, because it is the biggest revenue to the Russian budget," Lithuania's Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said.
CNN continued, "Political opinion may be hardening in Europe as Russia steps up its attacks on Ukraine's cities, killing hundreds of civilians and forcing millions to flee their homes.
"Much will come down to countries like Germany, Russia's biggest energy customer in Europe, as well as others that buy a lot of its gas, such as Hungary and Italy.
"German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said the country was "working at full speed" to end its dependence on Russia.
The United States can help. We are the number one oil producer in the world, and the United States became Europe’s largest source of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, in 2021. The U.S. is the leading producer of LNG in the world.
Our President is traveling to Europe this week for important talks with NATO leaders. It is safe to say he will have the leading role.
Take it to an appropriate thread rather than derailing this one please.Some worry about Hunter's computer. Others worry about the conflict in Europe.

The blob got his ass kicked up one coast and down the other...this wasn't a close election.
Opinion | Hunter Biden’s Laptop and America’s Crisis of Accountability
The New York Times now admits the story was real. News and social-media companies will pay no price for suppressing vital information in 2020.on.wsj.com
The New York Times now admits the story was real. News and social-media companies will pay no price for suppressing vital information in 2020.
In close elections, a fraction of the total vote distributed in the right places can swing an outcome, and we can never be sure what effect late news stories can have.
Thoughts? Did you vote for Hunter Biden or Trump?
One of Donald Trump's sons is a coke addict, who cheated on his wife, is under investigation by the IRS and is slimy as hell. No one cares. In fact, you clowns want him to take over for his father.
But Hunter Biden makes you loons batshit crazy. Why???
If 1 out of 6 votes for Biden would not be if people know the truth,then the election was rigged period
It’s relevant, if a dodgy story about Hunter Biden is being used to gaslight us into ignoring Trump and his minions’ affinity for Putin.Take it to an appropriate thread rather than derailing this one please.
No underage people, just a pathetic sex obsessed wannabe Lotherio. The kind of stuff I suspect is found on a lot of people’s PRIVATE devices. Other than drugs it isn’t illegal.So that's not Hunter in the photos?
I suspect the information is real but it is nothing like rightists claim. Just embarrassing more than criminal.The truth is, that Laptop had no credibility then, and it has no credibility now.
We have no idea where those laptops came from. Come on, you really think Hunter Biden would have THREE broken laptops full of sensitive information, would turn them over to a repair guy who he didn't know, and then completely forget about them? And then they would mysteriously show up right before the election full of information that Rudy Guliani had been trying to get from the Russians for years.
Blues, these people are swine. Ashley Biden's diary was shopped around a Trump fundraiser in Florida before being purchased for $40,000 ahead of the 2020 election: reportFormer AG Barr admitted he KNEW BIDEN LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE about Hunter's laptop and found that disturbing. Naturally he let Biden get away with the lie, shocker there.
You were told months ago that the lap top existed. You were warned it was damaging to Jo Biden. Now here we are with the new York times admitting it was true. What else have they covered up and you defended?Your 'stolen election' claim ONLY has the support of Conspiracy Theories, which you tend to rely upon.
Claims you have made are bogus and have been proven bogus.
Time to move on.
And once again another dumb ass chimes in to prove they are wrongI suspect the information is real but it is nothing like rightists claim. Just embarrassing more than criminal.
No one denied the laptop existed. We just don't think the information on them was all real. Or that important.u were told months ago that the lap top existed. You were warned it was damaging to Jo Biden. Now here we are with the new York times admitting it was true. What else have they covered up and you defended?
Liar new York times called it Russian disinformation.No one denied the laptop existed. We just don't think the information on them was all real. Or that important.
Liar new York times called it Russian disinformation.
I agree with you there. I don't even care about the drugs!No underage people, just a pathetic sex obsessed wannabe Lotherio. The kind of stuff I suspect is found on a lot of people’s PRIVATE devices. Other than drugs it isn’t illegal.
^ Baghdad BobIt was Russian disinformation. they took a few real emails, mixed in some fake emails, photophopped a few crack pipes in, and voila, Russian disinformation.
Barr is a traitor.Former AG Barr admitted he KNEW BIDEN LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE about Hunter's laptop and found that disturbing. Naturally he let Biden get away with the lie, shocker there.
So you're OK with Brandon showering with his daughter, there's nothing wrong there because he's a democrat, right?
When my kids were young they'd jump in the shower with their dad when we came back from the beach.So you're OK with Brandon showering with his daughter, there's nothing wrong there because he's a democrat, right?
