NATO as an organization made no such pledge to keep out countries around modern-day Russia. The formal agreement signed at the end of post-Cold War negotiations said nothing about the alliance not expanding eastward. https://t.co/zATkwdoHnN — PolitiTweet.org

Russian oil accounts for about 4% of America’s supply. Europe is far more reliant on Russia’s oil, and has far less ability to compensate to make up for the lack of oil it’s getting. In a global economy, it's forcing gas prices up. https://t.co/1MFcFmqZ4r — PolitiTweet.org
