Trump has just announced that he considers Putin invasion of Ukraine under a spurious pretext to be a stroke of genius.
And there it is. And no doubt that fucking orange moron also considered the annexation of the Sudetenland by Hitler was similarly starred with genius.
Vis-a-vis Biden's alleged weakness precipitating global instability??? Perhaps it's time to remind the usual suspects, and poor old Tax clearly fighting the onset of his Alzheimers, that the evacuation of Afghanistan had already been ordered and planned by the pentagon under the express direction of Trump.
Putin's economy is now destined for impoverishment on a national scale. GDP growth has been whittled away since 2014 and now faces a return to pre-perestroika days. When the bodies pile up and the average Russkie, already earning a pitiful monthly salary of $600, sees his disposable income fall further the chickens will be roosting in no time.
The EU'S actions to date, an extensive catalogue of sanctions putting the Brexitory rabble to shame, is merely the overture to total economic isolation.
Russia is in effect a third world economy entirely dependent on the sale of natural resources to sustain it. The tyrannous taxi driving thug Putin has turned the clock back and is now looking at the third world markets to save him. It's a capitalist world and he's going to suffer as indeed will the commie chinks if they piss off the US too much. The US controls the world's economy and that is the reality.
The thing is, military action by NATO is impossible until the invasion spills over into Poland and the Baltic states. Putin is fucked but the armchair warriors rattling their sabres and venting splenetic bombast from the foothills of British journalism, and rightwing American fruit loops, seem to think that in their simplistic little world Putin can only win.
Russia is fucked.
