A friendly reminder

A comment today from Captain Cob reminded me of this:

InstaPundit December 2019

PUTIN PUPPETS, UNMASKED:  Impeachment Testimony Describes Putin’s Propaganda War On American Fracking. “In recent testimony to House lawmakers, Fiona Hill, John Bolton’s former direct report at the National Security Council and the White House’s former top expert on Russia, reported that Russian propaganda was working to undermine the use of hydraulic fracturing, aka fracking, in the United States.”

Well, of course. Fracking has done more to undermine Putin than any other single U.S. initiative.

As Walter Russell Mead wrote in 2017:

If Trump were the Manchurian candidate that people keep wanting to believe that he is, here are some of the things he’d be doing:

Limiting fracking as much as he possibly could
Blocking oil and gas pipelines
Opening negotiations for major nuclear arms reductions
Cutting U.S. military spending
Trying to tamp down tensions with Russia’s ally Iran.

Yep. You know who did do these things? Obama. You know who supports these things now? Democrats.

Not so much traitors, most of them, but useful idiots.
