Bro. We know. BUT, REID... She was HOOOT. Then she had a tit job, facelifts, and became a drug addict.

MY OPINIONATED THOUGHT IS THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE ABILITY OF RUSSIA TO SUSTAIN ITS ECONOMY WITH SANCTIONS. I BELIEVE THEY WERE WELL AWARE THAT PUTIN, AFTER GETTING RIGHTFUL CONTROL OF CRIMEA, WAS RESTRUCTURING THE ECONOMY, STOCKPILING ENORMOUS CURRENCY RESERVES, AND REDUCING THE USE OF DOLLARS, THEREFORE WASHINGTONS LEVERAGE. THE DOLLAR ACCOUNTS FOR LESS THAN 15 PERCENT OF RUSSIAS CURRENCY RESERVES. THE U.S. KNEW THEY WERE TRIMMING BUDGETS AND KEEPING GOVERNMENT SERVICES GOING.Sumela » 02 Jun 2023, 3:44 pm » wrote: ↑ I will take a stab and say provoking this PLANNED war with Russia
was their most excessive act of hubris in that they understood nothing

And this was the loose stone that broke the dam....? Thoughts

THAT BEING UNDERSTOOD, THE SOLE PREMISE WAS NOT A CONCERN ABOUT RUSSIA AND A NEW CURRENCY WITH A GROWING ECONOMY, BUT A CONCERTED EFFORT WITH NATO FOR THE MIC TO PROFIT ENORMOUSLY FROM THE PROXY WAR. THIS HAS BEEN THE LARGEST CATCH AT OVER 75 BILLION WITH 50 BILLION GOING DIRECTLY TO THE U.S. MIC

Russians over the years have rarely put up any fight to oppose tyrants and corrupt kleptocrats.
Russia is not a very successful country. Despite all their resources, huge parts of Russia are very poor very miserable third world backwaters wihout even potable water or electricity. The population is shrinking, Life expectancy is declining. Putin's government is a corrupt kleptocracy.

You will never get to the children without first pushing through gay rights. Russia was keeping children safe.
The kiddie-diddling left was instructed to revile them.
They brought this on themselves. They cock-blocked the pedophiles.
AND YES - Russia is resource rich. They do not require the favor of the western world. Indeed, the favor of the west would only make their people weak - at a time when the world needs Russians to be Russians.
