It is time that government got off our hind end and just got out there and got some things done.

Are we somewhat hypocritical by criticizing China for not exporting but yet we don't export our energy?

I think it makes sense. It is a national security issue. It is also an energy issue, and it is a jobs issue as well.

How would lifting the export ban on America thwart Russian monopoly, aggression maybe, policy, how would that impact it in your opinion?

This bill grants the Secretary of State the authority to revoke or deny U.S. passports for individuals who are members or otherwise help designated foreign terrorist organizations execute their reign of terror.

Are we still talking about helping them fight for their own freedom in the sense that we are giving them military aid?

I believe when they successfully take over eastern Ukraine they will keep moving, maybe to the Baltics.
