long analysis war AGW



3 22 aha analysis: ukraine watershed: GOP/Rt has always used national security (strict ft/macho) to beat up of Dems (soft on communism, crime etc) [tho gubmint waste fraud and abuse is never committed by pentagon or military no bid contractor corps that are huge dark $ donors], and national debt bogeyman never a problem with military spending, 2021 gave $20B more than they asked FOR?]]

gop likes to conflate national security with oil supply [tho heaven forbid we would ever go to war in Gulf twice for oil; cheney secret energy task force of FF ceos requested maps of Iranian oilfields]; US military is greatest user of oil/polluter in world aviva chomsky 3 22];

Occupy network morphed into DAPL etc Water Protectors pipeline resistance, which was effective {Fusion/Feds backed off when veterans started to show up to have their backs after the battle of Backwater Bridge] so  early and major Trump donor ETP kelcy needed better tool to beat up/suppress activist, so eco-terror gets resurrected and amped up as Critical Infrastructure = nat'l security [so non-violent hippies and native Am now domestic terrorists]; also good for Press Suppression [and activist suppression thru LEGAL like make DAPL folks come back to appear in ct [mult times ?] a year later just to be postponed?];  initial try to make it OK to run over protestors stymied for a while by HH in Charlottesville [PBUH] but eventually passed in mult states?

Putin is the biggest FF CEO of all, and a fascist [originally "corporatism" under Il Dulce // Il Donald]]; ukraine invasion blamed on Greta and Biden green policy BBB; GOP EPW BS Sea Change [CRC] resurrected 3rd time that Greens took Putin $, tho debunked years ago [NottheEPA is Berman Dr Evil, also Legal/Legislative Suppression]

the old mantra was "energy independence" from unstable or even hostile oil states, but morphed into "energy dominance" during frack fight/trump era?  now morphing again to energy security at least in concept with Ukraine invasion, lead to a watershed: do we recognize that war gives us one more good reason, as it we needed one, to phase out FF or do we double down/drill baby drill? API is pushing hard for latter, FOX repeating endlessly [bonus gives them cover from Putin boosting?]
