Marc Morano: We're shutting down our domestic energy which we were wanting to dominate for the first time since Harry Truman under Trump to now more reliance on China and more reliance on Russian mining of nickel. This is a disaster but it's exactly in line with what Economic Forum, the United Nations, and the World Health Organization, -- they have decided they want a weakened America to be collapsed and then rebuilt in the globalist image with massive Chinese influence.
