Someone at the Kremlin must have watched the documentary (which is really good, by the way).

dislike Reagan because he was a terrible president


You're an idiot.

You know what Reagan did he made you proud to be an American again. After Carter there was no National pride but Reagan,and Charlie Daniels, brought pride back. He also sent a message to the rest of the world that America was not the country to F with anymore. He broke the wall in Germany and broke the Soviet union. Reagan was exactly who this country needed after the peanut farmer

600-700 billion roubles (GBP 8.5 -10 billion), which could approach a 20% increase in Russia's defence budget.


An additional 0.61% to 0.71% of their (declining) GDP and that is an ADDITIONAL expense, so they are spending more than this on their "operation that's totally not a war"

Navalny


He’s not a serious person. He actively tried to get arrested, and was quoting Rick and Morty on the stand.

Unfortunately Trump was lacking in certain communication skills, or he would have won in a landslide.

Reagan was by far the best of the modern era.

BREAKING: The Moscow Stock Exchange suspends Swiss franc trading against the ruble and US dollar

This move was triggered by Switzerland's implementation of new trade restrictions on June 10, which has complicated transactions. Russia's isolation from Western finance continues to grow.

Some quick math
foreign aid from the US

Estonia less the 31M we gave them would still be 0.7%

Latvia less the 24M is close to 0.65%

Poland less the 12M is close to 0.43%



And what about the EU?

The problem is that we need Russia’s raw materials. And even if we find ways to replace them, it isn’t always possible, there are other buyers in the international market that replace us.

India is buying Russian crude at a discount, as others have written, but prices are so high, it doesn’t matter to Russia. It just reduces their profits, somewhat.

As a policy these sanctions have two immediate effect, they cut off all cultural exchanges, and two, they imposes a price hike on western economies for energy and essential resources, as were forced to go to other sellers, at a higher price.

They didn't call him "The Great Communicator" for nothing.

Reagan would be appalled if America wasn't doing whatever it could to confront and curtail Russian imperial aggression.
