i heard her remarks. isn t that special. isn t that special. over a year president biden and all of his appointees have had a frontal assault on the oil and gas industry. they have nominated people to the federal reserve who want to force banks to dry up all of their funding for oil and gas exploration. it s worked. it s worked. oil and gas companies are not spending any capital on exploration. we are sending as much of our lng to europe, where i come from they call it hypocrisy. the one hand, president biden is saying well, we need to look at more energy. the other hand he s saying gut
in the northeast and they are coming down on the east side. they are coming down on the east side of that river because they are trying to avoid some of the pre-positions that the ukrainians have. the third axis is the one you put up there in the east in the territories of luhansk and donetsk. they came in from their flank and from their rear. of course, that s to their advantage to have done that and likely have achieved some they didn t want to have a frontal assault against dug-in forces. they ve come in from their flank and rear and likely have surprised the ukraine forces there. then the last axis, the fourth axis is the one coming out of crimea and they are heading south to north. they are heading towards
canada, to stand together and impose a whole raft of really, really bad sanction? ~ ., a whole raft of really, really bad sanction? ~ . ., , sanction? well, we are ready in terms of our sanction? well, we are ready in terms of our own sanction? well, we are ready in terms of our own sanctions - sanction? well, we are ready in - terms of our own sanctions package, we already terms of our own sanctions package, we already have more than 440 sanctions we already have more than 440 sanctions that were imposed on individuals and entities following the crimea invasion. and so we have worked the crimea invasion. and so we have worked with the crimea invasion. and so we have worked with the uk, with the us and australia, worked with the uk, with the us and australia, and also with europe. we are ready australia, and also with europe. we are ready for any form of scenarios. but if are ready for any form of scenarios. but if it are ready for any form of scenarios. but if it is are

options which they will probably take if it looks like the russians are going to try to bypass to just blow up the bridges. they can stop the advance of the russian forces. there may be an amphibious assault on odesa but it has not shown up yet. it could be coming from one side, but if you don t have the russian forces from the other side it certainly is weakened in terms of their offensive, john. john: jack keane s organization suggests there would be no amphibious landing unless they can come at it from the other side as well, too risky for a frontal assault. the mayors of those towns aing lo the river are holding out there. mike, thanks. sandra. sandra: president biden is set to speak with the chinese president tomorrow after the u.s. warned beijing not to aid
