In a month of fighting, Pootin has accomplished exactly what?

De-Nazified, de-militarized and in the process of reclaiming Russian lands...while also winning the economic war...to the point the US Sec of St has come out and admitted they would lift sanctions....

Hey, look, I enjoy a good troll...but to try and turn all that into a win for the US...is embarrassing, but you're the they/them for the job.

Sorry, the fact you led your brain dead retort with "de-nazified" demonstrates your profound inability to think rationally.

Clearly, Ukraine forces are "demilitarized" - you can tell by the way the Russian Army is deserting, well - the ones that aren't being left on the road for dead.

If a forecast of 10% GDP retraction, 20% interest rates, a closed stock market system, a government order that doesn't allow one to dump the ruble and 15% inflation is "winning the economic war", then no wonder your understanding of more complex issues is being ridiculed so mercilessly.

Russia was going to close its stock market and transition into Bitcoin anyway. It's all part of the plan.

"Capitulating"

LOL

Full Blinken: 'Time is certainly not on Vladimir Putin’s side'

Tick Tock, dummy.

So I see how this is going to get spun. They are going to put this on Zelensky. The sanctions are going to be lifted, no doubt about that, but it is going to be framed as Zelensky agreeing to having the sanctions lifted, and not that the US and NATO partners are lifting them because that would appear to be backpedaling...

Zelensky can negotiate sanctions relief in exchange for peace, Blinken says

When Todd pressed him on the question of sanctions relief, Blinken clarified. "The entire international community has come together to impose those sanctions on Russia. We'll be looking to see what Ukraine is doing and what it wants to do," he said. "And if concludes that it can bring this war to an end, stop the death and destruction, and continue to assert its independence and its sovereignty, and ultimately that requires the lifting of sanctions, of course, we will allow that."

Yeah, we've been hearing that for weeks, moron.

Blinken done blinked. It's over. The much needed humilation for the US and luckily it was done without losing a service member.

Good... hopefully, they don't attempt to escalate any further and we can move this behind us. Else, if we do manufacture consent (Bucha, chemical/biological attack) then I think these clowns will try to push it to the point where we send in troops.

Ukraine has served its purpose for the west. It drug Russia into a proxy war with NATO.

If Russia was minding its own business, like it did in the early 2000s, people would barely even care about it. The idea that there's been some long-game scheme cooked up in the smoke-filled rooms of DC and Brussels to push Russia into a war is laughable.

Get your laughs in while you can. These sanctions are not going to end well for any of us here in the west.

I doubt it was cooked up in Brussels, probably cooked up in DC, but other than that yeah thats the general gist of it.

China and India are going to get oil at fire sale prices.

Oh, and BTW, Russia isn't selling oil at $35/barrel. They are selling it at a $35 discount, so they are still paying an elevated price of about $70/barrel. Still well over the cost of production for Russia. They will be fine.

I realize that, it will absolutely affect some of us. But if me paying a little more for commodities is in the cards, it's in the cards. I don't like it, but the people in Ukraine have it much worse than me. I am capable of perspective while all you seem capable of is spin and deflection.

I didn't start the war, but I will sleep better at night knowing that those responsible will get what coming eventually and I won't fret about paying a little more in gas during my trip to Alaska this summer.

After largely striking out around the globe, their screening process is basically non-existent at this point, sort of like Septic at the male bath house.

Also, who would want to join a defensive pact where you get US protection and we largely pay their freight.

Correct. That makes it so much better. Receiving 30% less. Masterful strategy. Is the military running their oil industry?
