Two entertainers making a spectacle. A cynic might think it was staged.

Yes. USA already knows what its going to do. A hypothetical trade agreement isn’t going to change the decision, so Ukraine should make exactly zero concessions in pursuit of influencing a decision which has already been made.

the one thing that gas is good for is cooking

Only if your kitchen is adequately vented, but most that I’ve seen are not.

A modern gas furnace or water heater will have a flue, and if the system has been installed properly then exhaust gasses, including CO, will get sucked out of the house.

Most gas ovens/ranges are unvented - they just spew combustion products, including CO, directly into the home. Its so bad that the 1st generation of CO detectors had to be retired because they were constantly going off when people would cook dinner. Modern CO detectors will only be set off if detected CO levels remain elevated for some number of hours.

Cooking with gas in a home that lacks a large hood fan that’s ducted to the outdoors is a terrible idea.
