Russia isn’t Americas enemy, or at least wasnt till foreigners like you and other grifters made that change. DC is the enemy of the American people.

[DesertRhino]

The Reich collapsing will hurt the DC party, and that’s good for America.

[tlozo]

Russia isn’t Americas enemy, or at least wasnt till foreigners like you and other grifters made that change.

Sure, Trump accused the Russia of cheating INF Treaty so I guess he's a "foreigner" or "grifter". Idiocy

Russia has not, unfortunately, honored the agreement, so we’re going to terminate the agreement. We’re going to pull out.

President Donald J. Trump February 1, 2019

We've lost prestige in the world.

Sure, and what will be our "prestige" if Ukraine collapses because we refuse to send them weapons?

Poland already announced that maybe they should get nukes.

Because of inlfation, which is exacerbated by the profilgate spending on Ukraine.

LOL, incredibly idiotic statement blaming inflation on Ukraine funding. Last years budget was 6.5 Trillion of which only 75 Billion was on Ukraine which included sending older or out of date weapons.

Re: "So, de-dollarization is now a thing. The loss of reserve status for the US dollar can't be swept under the rug. It's a huge loss for the USA, and it has picked up lots of momentum due to this war."

I agree with Vlad0 on many Ukraine issues.

We do not agree about the strength of US Dollar (USD).

Compared to a basket of foreign currencies, the USD trade value has floated above $90 for the last ten years.

$100 is the "par" value. Above $100, the USD is stronger. Below $100, the USD is weaker.

For the last two years, USD has shown consistent strength, floating between $100 - $112.

A good portion of our government is hellbent on starting a world war and they’ve deluded themselves into believing that any scrap they start will be limited and easily managed.
Just like their ukraine adventure.
Their laundromat has been very successful for them.

[DesertRhino]

You’re an idiot. That was just a cover story. The one and only reason we pulled out of the INF treaty had nothing to do with Russia. It was because that treaty restricted us from building weapons that would be useful in a war with China.
If we decide to have a war with China, it will be a missile intensive war, Wade from long standoff distances and we needed missiles that would far exceed the capability of those allowed in the INF treaty. So DOD made up some stupid cover story and that’s what Trump put out. Trump also says the vaccine is safe and effective. I love him, but he’s not infallible.

I know you’re over in Poland or something, but try to keep up.

[Rocco DiPippo]

One of the most interesting - and truthful - comments/analyses I’ve read on this mess in a long time. Well done. Thanks!

[Rocco DiPippo]

Touche!

[OldHarbor]

Poland is thinking what chunk of Ukraine the pick off of the bones when they fall.

Eurocrats fighting over their Fiefdoms, it’s a thing with that lot.

“… Russia has a lot of manufacturing capability. They have the sort of manufacturing capability we used to have, until our elites sold it all off and shipped manufacturing to China and Mexico.…”
********************************************************************

Sadly, it’s very true that our “elites” have led the efforts that led to the hollowing out of much of our heavy manufacturing capabilities. They did that to make money as they were too stupid to make money in other ways. These same elites are now reveling in the mass import of millions of ultra-low-cost workers.

[Right Wing Vegan]

Most Americans have no special animus for Russia or Russians

US and others have over exploited Russia's problems. It's natural, but that impulse needs to be reigned in finally.

[rxh4n1]

“I know you’re over in Poland or something, but try to keep up.”

Is that a fact? It does make sense as most of those here hot for us to fight with Russia are foreigners, or foreigners pretending to be Americans, or democrats pretending to be conservatives.

[adorno]

The Russians aren't "our enemies".

With that idiotic statement, everything else you have to say needs to be ignored.

The Russian people are not our enemies, but the Russian leadership (Putin/Kremlin) are the enemies. Putin is no different from the leadership that came before in Russia/USSR (Lenin,Stalin, etc), and until the leadership in that country stops being so aggressive to their neighbors and even to NATO countries and to the U.S.A. they are the enemy.

Russia is no different than China and Iran and N. Korea and Afghanistan, all of whom are sworn enemies of the west. The people in those countries might not be our direct enemies, but, as long as the leadership considers the U.S. and other western countries to be their enemies, and as long as they seek our demise, then, they are indeed enemies.

So, get over yourself and start using logic and common sense. You lack a lot of that.

So, who started the war in Ukraine? And don't give me that "chit" about Ukraine having been part of Russia way back then. An aggressive country like Russia, is not a friend to any other country. That's simple common sense, but I doubt you can understand it.

And, btw, copying and pasting is easily recognizable and easily dismissed, so, stop the nonsense!

[Vlad0]

Adorno:

I didn't paste anything in that post except the two links, which are obviously self-attributing. The rest is completely original prose, directly from my mind to my fingers and onto the screen.

Try this one again, eh?:

When someone says "the Russians" as I did they typically mean:

A. The Russian nation and people.

B. President Putin.

The person lacking common sense and logic here isn't me.

I notice what you do not do: provide any meaningful rebuttal to my extensive list of bullet points that explain what America has already lost with the war and the bad policies around it.

The weird thing is a couple other people were able to provide some meaningful rubuttal, but not you.

You are long on invective and ad-hominems and short on facts and structured thinking.

This, I'm sorry to say, is sadly typical of Zeepers. Maybe do more research before posting on these threads in the future.

Cheers!

[adorno]

The weird thing is a couple other people were able to provide some meaningful rubuttal

Well, that's weird...

Because, to many people like yourself, meaningful equals that which agrees with their points of view.

It's just like the liberal media, where anything that doesn't agree with their points of view and liberal talking points, are meaningless and to be ignored.


You still don't know what common sense is, and you are far from being logical. Perhaps you need to get away from the Putinista media.

Thanks for your great commentary, Vlad0.

RUSSIAN Gas & LNG Revenue Collapses & Sanctions Threaten Future of $10 Billion Arctic LNG 2 Project

Prior to the Invasion of Ukraine Natural Gas exports provided Russia’s second largest revenue stream after Oil. However as a result of the war European countries stopped buying Russian Gas and this lead to the loss of the majority of this income. Russia was unable to export this gas to countries such as India as it does not have the LNG facilities to convert the gas.

In this video I look at Russia’s loss of income, the impact of the recent SANCTIONS against the new $10 Billion LNF facility called Arctic LNG 2 and discuss the problems that Russia and the Russian Economy are now facing.
