House overwhelmingly approves Russia sanctions

what have i got against the sanctions ... this is a economic move by America to replace Russia's gas exports with their own .... and America wants to use this to exert more control over the EU .... as for Ukraine gas pipeline network ...
they have a history of stealing gas and right now Ukraine is reliable for no one ... why shouldn't Russian and western energy companies look for new routes to bypass Ukraine ... Russia has been a reliable energy supplier to western EU countries .... we also see how the US is scr*wing Ukraine over coal imports 3 x times the cost they were paying for coal

Katyn was not clever ... but i could raise the 100,000 + German POWs that died under western allies care due to starvation and easily curable diseases

that map above

2 main parties were banned that represented the entire south Eastern Ukraine (formerly South western Russia) the Party of the regions and the Communist Party ... their was a very low turn out in that entire region

why was the political wing of Pravy Sektor Svoboda given key positions in the Ukraine government .. including defence .. yes i am talking about the head of Pravi Sektor Dimitri Yarosh wanted by Interpol ... and don't get me started with Oleh Lyshako hiss volunteer battalion was responsible for the massacre in Mariupol

You’ve got things mixed-up. Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine prompted the EU to seek LNG from elsewhere due to the fear Russia would use Ukraine LNG as political leverage against the US. Seeing the explosion of shale produced LNG in the US (the US is #4 in proven reserves), the EU invited the US to export LNG to Europe. The US only first exported LNG in January of
2016 and still is not and will not be for many years, if ever, a big exporter to Europe:

“as for Ukraine gas pipeline network ...

However “unreliable”, the gas still gets passed...the US and Russia can look for new routes all they want. “Bypassing” Ukraine will have no effect on Ukraine passing whatever they want that the market allows.

“Katyn was not clever ... but i could raise the 100,000 + German POWs that died under western allies care due to starvation and easily curable diseases”

What does “clever” have to do with whatever it is you’re trying to say? Mentioning the “100,000” is a digression from the point. It does not change how wrong you are and I have shown.
As for the rest of what you say, none of it changes the facts of my refuting your post. So, I won’t get you started on Lyshako.
