Yeah, I think Pooty-Poot has overplayed his hand.

Don’t bet on Covid diminished brain Putin and his conscripts that have less than zero interest in fighting their fellow Slavs. Bad Vlad is now Sad Vlad. A shadow of his former self. I am pulling for a general’s coup with this man coming out on top. Sergey Kuzhugetovich Shoigu.

This guy was the bane of the Clinton Administration back in the nineties. This reads like he has become a good little poodle, just like Pat Buchanan.

“The US is pushing for a quick deal with Tehran on nuclear proliferation to bring back Iranian crude. All normal diplomatic reservations are being set aside...Iran and Venezuela to the rescue!”

Time to party at Obama’s mansion!

And DC has to go in for Ukraine. That’s why they chest bumped Russia into this war. Ukraine is the epicenter of DC money laundering, bribes and sex trafficking. Ukraine was why they tried to impeach Trump when he started to look into it.

That’s why DC don’t care how badly they hurt the American people here.

“Yeah, I think Pooty-Poot has overplayed his hand.”

We don’t like our paper finance manipulators on Wall Street. London and Frankfort. But they are the ones who have made the Putin Russian ruble into a nearly zero currency. They have shamed all traders into not buying Russian oil.
Putin deserves his fate=death for bringing in Muslim Chechens into Ukraine to destroy Ukraine Christians////// But wait! It gets even better. As far as I can tell Ramzan Kadyrov and his 10000 strong Chechen terrorist army are sitting at home in Chechnya. They are not betting on Vlad Putin either. Hahahahah

The White House is sending emergency missions to Saudi Arabia and Venezuela to find extra barrels. The US is pushing for a quick deal with Tehran on nuclear proliferation to bring back Iranian crude.

Biden is running around asking everyone for oil except Texas.

Yup. I am aged out BUT You know the current military stuff so can always volunteer and be effective tomorrow for the forces you favor. Which seem to be Putin’s. Perhaps I am wrong.
Diseased Poooty is on the way out. He is a bad bet, and Ramzan Kadyrov agrees with me. His men are still at home in Chechnya.

Secret airfield near Ukrainian border is getting 17 flights of weapons A DAY as West sends in 17,000 anti-tank missiles: Psaki admits there are ‘challenges’ getting fighter jets including Soviet-era MiG-29s to Zelensky

The U.S. has been able to deliver nearly all of its promised $350 military aid to Ukraine, and has been landing multiple flights at an undisclosed airfield near the border.

That’s going to end badly. I’m trying to avoid getting nuked, but there’s nothing I can do about that at the end of the day.

PUTIN’S PROBLEM>>>>

‘Covid brain’ IS real: Illness can cause regions of the brain to SHRINK and lead to cognitive decline, new study finds

A Covid infection can triple the rate of brain degeneration in middle-aged and older people, a world-first study suggests.

University of Oxford researchers looked at brain scans of more than 400 people between the ages of 51 and 81 before and after they had the disease.

Results showed that in olfactory-related regions, responsible for smell, their brain volume shrunk by an average of 0.7 per cent compared to a control group who did not get Covid.

A middle-aged person would normally expect to lose about 0.2 per cent volume in that area per year, while an older person could expect to see a 0.3 per cent decrease.

On average, Covid patients involved in the study had four months between their two scans — suggesting the virus significantly speeds up the rate of degeneration.

Survivors also took longer to complete cognitive tests and achieved poorer scores compared to their peers.

To check that the declines in brain matter and cognition could not have been replicated by any respiratory illness, the researchers carried out an analysis of the brains of pneumonia patients and found no similar changes.

The study may help explain why many people continue to suffer brain fog and other neurological issues months after clearing a Covid infection.

Meanwhile, from Pennsy, get a load of the virtue-signaling hypocrisy on display...

Wolf: Pennsylvania welcomes Ukrainian refugees, severs ties with Russia

That headline is a lie. See the last paragraph, which the enemedia hopes you won't get to, for the proof.

The irony of this entire sanctions’ kabuki theatre is Russia is making substantially more on its energy exports after the war than before. Europe is not importing less Russian energy after the start of the war but more, except Russia is receiving 35% more for its product than before the war because the war has driven energy prices up at least 35%. We have not cut back on importing Russian energy and China is taking all Russia will send. Even Ukraine is receiving Russian energy by letting it flow thru the pipeline to Poland and Poland reselling it back to Ukraine. The Swift sanctions sleight of hand trick was for public consumption because 20% of Russian banks were exempted and that was because Europe insisted some Russian banks not be subject to SWIFT sanctions so they could funnel payments to Russia for the Russian energy they were buying. The cold reality is Russia is making money from this war, although that is not why they started it. Meanwhile Biden is exhorting our enemies like Iran and Venezuela to produce and ship more oil after cutting US production over the last year when the only nation producing and exporting less energy this year than last is the US because of his policies

Ukraine has already paid bag man Hunter Biden for its defense.

“Vladimir Putin never believed the West would cut off Russian oil: that was a grave mistake”

HORRIBLE MISTAKE - Now Russian oil that had gone to the West will go to China...and Middle Eastern oil that had gone to China will go to the West. Absolute IDIOCY on Putin’s part.

(no wonder we keep losing, if we cannot even figure that much out)

You make a good point.

What is driving energy prices is the perception of potential future shortages of energy due to this war as there currently is no shortage at all. This war will end before that future perception becomes a reality and prices will decline. In the meantime, Russia is having a banner year from its energy exports because of the war. And Biden is giving away the store to our enemies to cure a shortage that currently does not exist. If one does exist in the future, it will be because of his domestic energy policy, not Russia’s little war

And now we know the real reason this is all happening, and we can finally identify Valerie Jarrett as our shadow President.
