Russia, honestly, seems to be the last country I can think of that isn't controlled by these elites, cabal, NWO, whatever you want to call them. Putin said he will defeat them at all cost. Many believe they originated with Soros from Ukraine which is why he is fighting them. Maybe I am completely wrong but I wasn't wrong about the fake covid hype or the stolen election. Go ahead and tell us all about how Russia isn’t led by elites. Dude, come on. Vlad survives on a meager pension and lives in a creaking 1960s Soviet style apartment block complete with leaking plumbing and a boiler that is out of commission during most of winter. Don't you know that Russia is a very equal country? Putin has refused to allow state assets to be fleeced to line the pockets of a select wealthy class. Just kidding. Putin is worth 300 billion, has multiple palatial estates, and the top 500 wealthiest people control close to 50% of the wealth in Russia. In the United States the top 0.1%. Only control about 12-14% of all wealth. |

My fear is that if it truly came to that, which I doubt it will, our leaders would lack the intestinal fortitude to do the needful to mitigate our losses. I'm pretty sure we would still take a beating. I would also wager more humans will die from the aftermath. Not from the radiation either. Personally I believe that nuclear war will not happen in my lifetime, but I'm sure it will one day if humans are around long enough. Link to map? Good news, the vast majority of liberals in California would be wiped out. Bad news is that I would be too. If their nukes work anything like the rest of the equipment they've used so far, their odds of actually hitting any of these targets are probably not that great. You guys that live close to them are probably better off than those of us who don't. |

Be that it may, he sounds like the kind of guy who would say the same thing if he's in the US. What an idiot, Blame the MILITARY GRADE guns, typical. Couldn't be that the breakdown of law and order and all policing because they're AT WAR has anything to do with the lawlessness there? And to blame the "regime"? As if gangs and thugs wouldn't take advantage of the same conditions were to occur here? I'm sure this doofus somehow squares his idiotic opinion with a "defund the police" stance too. Probably stayed in-country figuring the war would be quick and easy, that he'd sip tea in his favorite Kiev cafe without interruption, and quietly tuck his Ukrainian flag into his man purse while pulling out the Russian one to wave to the "friendly" occupiers. |

Their problem in terms of export sales is how do they get paid ?
No doubt in my mind that the US and EU are also talking too arab members of OPEC and asking them to ramp up production as much as possible and that they will switch Russian oil purchases for Arab as much as possible. The EU going forward will try to reduce Russian energy purchases as much as possible in terms of Oil and natural gas. Any reduction in Russian natural gas purchases hurt Gazprom alot.... they really don't have anywhere else to sell it due to no pipelines or LNG facilities etc. If your the Arabs this is a huge opportunity to take Russian oil customers and market share away en masse. Also, if Nordstream 2 is done, Gazprom just took a $11.5 billion dollar hit. IMHO, bitcoin prices are up because some Russians have wised up. They can't buy foreign currency with their roubles but for now they can still buy bitcoin. On another note, if your a Russian citizen with some money working towards retirement with some of it or a good chunk of it in Russian Company shares and the market opens and you just took a 60% hit on your investment on paper... your extremely unhappy. |

I'd like to hear more from people who worked in SAC on the theory/psychology behind this.
