My question is which allies? Europe is not an ally, China is not an ally. UK is not an ally, Middle East is not an ally except Israel and UAE. So who is he even talking about?
what allies, do the US have any left ?
I drive my BYD EV charged off my solar panels here in Australia or ride my bicycle.
I have no idea what the price of gasoline or diesel is. I am sure I'll see higher prices from freight but we've woefully under invested in electrified rail transport for freight and moving pole around the country so we are finding out after fucking around for decades.
Really Just Dumb? The Allies have something called public transportation and high-speed rail. You fucking moron, you could have used the $200 billion to upgrade the entire Northeast Corridor and turned it into a true high-speed rail system and that is just for starters. In the meantime, piss off and take your AmeriKa Last with you.
Hoii! Uh.. no? Actually we’re chilling considering most cars /trucks here are ran on diesel but realistically most long range shipments are done via freight trains cuz they’re way more efficient :P Also yes it’s not affecting us the people either as we have public transit ^^
does he also have a brainworm now or is he just as dumb? Can he explain like in what correlation does the buildout of greenenergy make one more dependent on oil?
I'm sure Norway is crying all the way to the bank. It's hard work hauling all that oil and fertilizer money.
vance is a pathological liar. quite obvious just look at how often he makes these trivially refuted lies.
That's what allies usually look for, suffering.
Oil / Gas is a global commodity, shipped around the world on tankers. If prices are higher in France, someone will take cheaper oil/gas from the US and ship it to France where they can make more money.
In the short term, maybe the US suffers less. But, in the longer term prices well even out as people will sell wherever they can get the highest profits.
I don't even think we are suffering more. Like my fuel prices have gone up by 10p/litre. I'm seeing Americans pay over $100 to fill their tanks, I paid £60 today, our national debt isn't sitting at 20 odd Trillion and our stock market didn't just lose over $1T. Like everything else with these clowns, the truth is the opposite of what they say it is.
did he say thank you to the allies, the guy who reaped the popes soul.
Our boi here, bless his heart, ‘Ol Jaydee can actually hide his own Easter eggs. It keeps him busy while the grownups are napping off Sunday dinner.
What does it help him when others suffer more? So USA is still suffering, but less? Great for them...
That's the Republican's whole shtick "Vote for us, we'll make those people you don't like hurt worse than we make you hurt"

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
