You know me better than that. I get accused of being a neocon 2000 times a day. Putin will not end the war so long as he thinks he can win. Because he fancies himself Catherine the Great or Peter the Great, and believes he’s got Great after his own name somehow or other. I hold with his oldest enemy. He has to lose, get couped, and die.

You stated that Biden and company and the neocons want the war to continue.

Didn’t you?

Do you really believe someone other than Putin is driving this war to continue?

He should cease hostility, pull his forces out and stop this nonsense.

Yes, nations who are invaded tend to fight enemies on their soil. Who knew?

Yes, Catherine the Great…. good one.

As for Biden, his spending in the Ukraine is so questionable you have to ask
yourself if he’s trying to send our nation over the fiscal edge.

Or rather if Obama is.

“Putin will not end the war so long as he thinks he can win.”

Well duh, why would he end the war if he thinks he can win? The military war is only half of it, the economic war is the other half, and he’s winning bigly in that. The US shot its wad with sanctions thinking that would bring Russia down, only to find out that Russia’s position is much stronger than they anticipated. So now the US is doubling down on stupidity to try and hide their huge mistake.

Russia is the ONLY major country not mired in excessive debt, and they have the natural resources and trade relationships to easily weather any storm. Can’t say the same for the rest of the world which is on the verge of economic collapse. Why do you think we are risking WW3 over this? Trust me NONE of the players give a rat’s @ss about Ukraine, it just a useful pawn providing the excuse to engage Russia militarily. The idiot elites in the US seem to think that we can bleed Russia dry, but it is the Western economies which are being bled dry with unpayable debt.

Let’s see how long Europe remains onboard with poking the bear when their economies enter an economic depression. Over the course of the year ahead you will witness the collapse of the euro along with the resulting collapse of the EU itself. Russia will be in the catbird seat, offering Europe the only way out of this mess by bringing nordstream2 online. The US neocons on the other hand want WW3. Which one of those options do you think Europe will choose?
