If so, how much would we have to pay?
Texas and Florida for sure, and if we have enough left, call Macron.

Florida, can we *pay* Spain to take it back? That'd be a good way to deal with DeSantis
Edit: maybe thats is what Palin meant when she said she could see Russia from her porch or whatever it was.
(THIS is where this edit comment was supposed to go)

So, a secret undercover NAZI assination team is gonna carry a NAZI flag with them on their secret wet job mission thousands of kilometers into enemy territory?

You mean.....
Re: Russia Invades Ukraine
TO be fair to Palin, she didn't say that. She said that you can see Russia from Alaska, which you can, technically, if you include Alaskan and Russian controlled islands.
The "I can see Russia from my house" line was Tina Fay playing Sarah Palin.

Tbf, Russia's argument seems to be "So you little countries want more defense because you think we might attack you? That's unreasonable! And in response, we might have to attack you! And it's so your fault! You gave us no choice!"

Germany preparing for change of control at Rosneft refinery -minister

Germany is preparing for a change of control at the PCK refinery in Schwedt operated by Russian state-owned Rosneft (ROSN.MM) which accounts for all of Germany's remaining Russian oil imports, Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Wednesday.
Germany has set out plans to become independent of Russian oil, which would make a European Union oil embargo manageable for Europe's biggest economy.
It has reduced the proportion of oil it sources from Russia to 12% from 35%, leaving PCK the only remaining consumer of Russian oil in the country.
Rosneft "is not interested in not refining Russian oil. If I call them and ask, what are you doing to become independent of Russian oil, they won't even pick up the phone," Habeck said in a video posted on Twitter by the economy ministry.

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine
Once again, as it is after Trump, as it is after a global pandemic ... there is no return to the old normal. There will be a new normal at the end of the war, and it will involve an enormous reshuffling of economic realities.
I'm Foggy and I forget if I approved this message.
