Vladimir V. Putin is making gains in his war on Ukraine while the United States and its allies struggle with soaring energy prices and inflation.

quote:

Four months into the war in Ukraine, the countries aligned against Russia face growing economic pain even as sanctions and energy embargoes are showing little impact on Russian President Vladimir V. Putin’s military campaign or his political standing at home. U.S. officials vowed that Russia’s financial system would be battered if it attacked Ukraine, and President Biden boasted in March that sanctions were “crushing the Russian economy” and that “the ruble is reduced to rubble.” But Russian oil revenues have set records as crude prices surge. And after plunging in February, the ruble hit a seven-year high against the dollar this week.

Western world is ate up with stupid ideological causes that do more harm than good. And instead of admitting that their ideas are bad for us, our leaders will double down on the same causes that are wrecking our economy.

Biden is just now some 18 months into his Presidency starting to sense that he sucks at it. Bless it.

This story doesn’t jibe with Vlad desperately bringing 400 lb generals out of retirement.

Somehow a bunch of us knew this would happen but the braintrust in DC knew better and they were wrong like almost every single freaking time they make a forecast.

Joe pledged $200 billion over the next 5 years to other countries just today at the G7.

What's a bit more to Zelensky?

As long as China is willing to do business with Russia then they’ll have a lifeline
