Russia-Ukraine War

[Shockm]

Kiev and Kharkov are going to be besieged and maybe flattened. Putin may not take all the country on a permanent basis but he is going to virtually destroy its capacity to be a viable nation. The end goal is for it to be like Belarus. Interesting now that news reports claim that Belarus troops are apparently joining in on the invasion. Guessing they will be going in further west to cut off aid from Poland. So now the Ukraine may be fighting armies from 2 states.

Just watching all the posturing and legal debate tonight on Deutch TV is depressing.... "no action, talk only" is what got us to this state of affairs in the first place. Don't want to read any more articles that claim that Putin is really losing because he has lost the PR war and sanctions have come down on Russia's head. The only positive so far is that Germany will raise its level of defense spending to about 2% of GDP... or at least they now claim they are going to do that.

We currently are a Russian energy customer. The best thing that America could do for the world is to be energy independent, and give energy alternatives to European democracies so they aren’t forced to be Russian energy customers. The green far left of the Democrat Party, the Green Party, and other leftist liberals are driving the Russian economy.

America is importing 75,000 barrels a day from Russia. This means, Joe Biden is handing Putin over $10M per day for energy. The United States is financing their war machine.
