It's their purposeful sabotage of progress that armed putins army.
Literally it's built on oil money.
And the hesitation of Europe to pre arm Ukraine was built on their dependence on Russian oil.
If they hadn't ripped down the solar panels and fought against efficiency at every step.. we wouldn't have had to pay for Russian oil. We'd have extra domestic oil to cover any allies in need.
If trump hadn't pointlessly blown up our tenuous relationship with iran, we might have access to their oil by now.
If republicans weren't so set on punishing Venezuela for not being run by the right wing, we would probably have access to their oil.
Instead, because or rw ideology, we've spent the past few decades paying for putins army.

Actually, I think the "show of hands" is going to be much sooner; televised and highly rated.
