Before Putin invaded I was in the camp that this was all media hype. I did not see any gains to be made by militarily attacking the Ukraine.

Now he has Europe united against him and they are scared. That means they will have much higher defense spending and other countries will want to join NATO for the protection.

I think that Russia's nuclear deterrent will keep the West from militarily attacking Russia, but they will be isolated.

Putin probably is very weak internally and this was way to project strong man persona.
This has completely fail and will hasten his demise.

Let us see what comes after Putin.

Watch this channel for Videos of Russian military losses.
Some people still not trusting hat happening in Ukraine.

This is what the MIC wants.

The US has been wanting to restart the Cold War for 2 decades now. Well, they finally managed to do it.

Just as Generation X grew up with the CONSTANT threat of nuclear war, and the boomers did as well. It's a way to support the dollar by creating an artificial market for weaponry that can't reasonably be used.

None of this has to do with human rights, or human life.

I don't know. It seems like a lot if it is being used in Ukraine.

The Cold War kept the dollar stable as the downfall of the United States was thought to be the downfall of all of Europe. It was extremely lucrative for the MIC.

That's what we are going back to. When the Cold War ended, the "war on terror" was invented in order to continue the scam.

The MIC creates conflict, because it's profitable. Above them are the central banks, and impoverishing a nation allows them to have absolute control over an economy.

I would not doubt this one bit. These people are driven by one thing and one thing only...G.R.E.E.D.

@FamersWon

If you are looking at US government/politicians as your moral authorities...may your God have mercy on your soul.

"Russia will lose badly" is the title. Let me fix that for you...

"All people all over the world will be negatively economically effected."

Can't wait for the Great Reset. /sarc

Ukraine should surrender to Putin's demands to avoid a humanitarian crisis.

that is the most insane advice. If someone assaults you, don't fight, just give them all your money and beg for mercy!!!

$115 dollar oil and $4.65 nat gas must be killing Putin.

No, this is not stupid advice.

The only people that will walk away from the conflict in Ukraine that are in Ukraine are the US puppets.

Zelenskyy could have prevented this war quite easily by saying that Ukraine wouldn't be a NATO nation and sign agreements to that effect, and end the conflict with the Donbass. Ukraine is going to lose anyhow. Everybody that dies in this conflict died needlessly. Zelenskyy is going to walk away with a suitcase of money once he's deposed.

The end result will be a new Cold War, which is going to tax ALL citizens in the West. This is precisely what the sociopaths in power wanted. The only people who are going to be hurt by this is anybody that isn't a puppet, and isn't in power.

Interesting analogy that I read this AM:

“Imagine this scenario of aggression. Russia has established something called SATA. (Surround America Together Alliance) with the Bahamas, Cuba, Canada and all of Central America. Article 5 of SATA says if one goes to war, they all go to war. Putin is trying to get Mexico to join. He orchestrated a coup there in 2014 and installed a puppet dictator who helps enrich Putin through Putin’s crack head son. He keeps assuring Mexico they will join SATA one day, even though the other countries would not approve the vote and they don’t meet some minimum requirements. Other politicians in the duma send their kids to be on boards of Mexican companies to collect paychecks of $50,000 per month. Russia keeps sending weapons to Mexico who has a neo-Nazi force of nationalists near the border who take shots at English speaking American separatists who would prefer to be part of the United States. Cease fires are broken 2000 times over 8 years, leaving 14,000 dead in the conflict. The U.S. has taken a patient stance, trying to reason with the Mexican coke-head dictator but he keeps accepting SATA weapons and money. Last week the Mexican dictator said he doesn’t just want SATA membership, he wants Russian nukes in his country aimed at the United States. That was the final straw. Tuesday the U.S. launched air strikes across Mexico and declared those English speaking American states as independent republics.”

How is this wrong other than !!Putin is worse than Hitler!!.

Worst possible outcome is to be the sucker, and the battleground, in a proxy meat-grinder war between much more powerful forces.
Which is the role Ukraine has held for 2 decades of 'Cold War' already.

No I don't look leaders for morality. World leadership is immoral.Everyday people serving humanity are far more moral.
.. having said that, I would take immoral leader over moral one who starts unnecessary war and kills innocents to showcase his morality(Like war criminals Putin/Bush try to portray).

@WineHorror1FarmersWon says

The problem with dictatorship is that it is like a "egg" , Once the shell is broken the yolk is going to flow out.
In case of Putin the shell is really thin and the globalists probably already have folks to take him out.

Putin did this stupidly and criminality(or maybe he had no choice) and he will pay the price.
His days are numbered but he made life very hard for Russians and Ukrainians.. The globalists will chop them and get all the prized assets in not so near future.

Putin should instead had build rapport with his and Ukrainian people , Instead He chose high handedness and murder.

He can't sell it. At some point he will of course figure out a channel, but he surely won't be selling it at market prices.

HAHAHA!

Good one..

These are fungible commodities and I HIGHLY doubt that the Nordstream I was turned off. Wouldn't be surprised if that was announced though, it's a good excuse to jack up the prices.

The government is just a mafia.

They can't sell oil to germany? Then they sell it to china and china resells it to germany. So what if he sells for 100bbl instead of 115.....100 is a whole lot better than 30.

yeah, he only has another 10,000 days left. I find it hard to believe that some americans think that our leaders...biden, harris, pelosi, schummer, abrams, aoc and the squad, waters, etc are smarter and more clever than Putin and Xi Jinping.

It has nothing to do with western politicians beyond supplying weapons.
Russians and Chinese are fed up with these overlords oppressing them.

US people were/are fed up with Trump/Biden , Imagine 100x worse with dictator at helm.

He is a goner soon.The guy going Hitler route.

Significant that Putin is publicly addressing the Russian casualties in Ukraine. Families are getting payouts of as much as 7m rubles (about $65,000).

Putin speaking to his security council.

"I will never abandon my conviction that Russians and Ukrainians are one people [...] but the way the battle is going shows we are fighting neo-Nazis."

He claims Ukraine is using civilians and foreigners as "human shields."

How about for the Syrians? Israel is bombing it right now.

How about the Iraqis 20 years ago during Shock and Awe?
Libya?

This is politically convenient is all.
