Need to Know News (20 June 2022) with Joe Olson and Carl Herman

While Russia has taken out 50 or more high-ranking officers of the Ukrainian military, Lithuania--in concert with the EU and (no doubt) NATO--has imposed unprecedented sanctions on transporting goods to and from the enclave of Kaliningrad, which is about as likely to provoke WWIII as any measure that has been taken heretofore. This is a gross miscalculation by the West. Meanwhile, LePen has made gains in France, growing from 8 to 88 seats in the Parliament, where Macron has lost BIG TIME! The largest oil refinery in Russia appears to have been hit, possibly by satellite-based weapons, which, should they be tracked back to the US, could have catastrophic repercussions. Because of sanctions imposed by the West, Russia cannot provide the 167 million cubic meters of gas that Europe needs per day but only 100 million, where Canada cannot return the compressor pump sent to Montreal for overhaul and punishing Europe rather than Russia. Biden's pathetic efforts to blame Putin and the oil companies for high gas prices are not impressing anyone, where the public knows this has occurred by virtue of his deliberately imposed policies, such as stopping the XL pipeline and curtaining permits to drill on federal land. Rand Paul grills Tony the Rat to no avail. while Ron Johnson bemoans that America's enemies are savoring our demise due to the weakness of Biden and his administration.
