Been watching quietly the slow destruction of the Muscovy economy. As they say about Ukrainian drones as they hit the oil refineries and depots. Physical sanctioning in action. It is just a servo with nukes.

I have as well. We call them "kinetic sanctions."

Every war is very expensive. Always. Putin's Russia is not exception. They can drag this for a while, but they will pay in the end.

Russia is on its knees financially and militarily. I hope trump doesn’t fawn over him as NATO has the upper hand now

The US electing Trump is a disaster. A proper US President would have Russia on its knees now, not Russia having Trump on his knees.

Who knew, indeed? Russia has bankrupted itself by way of the giant war it started and continues to prosecute. The world can no longer afford these giant wars that includes shitbag 'tiger' economies like China and/or India. Another Vietnam War would bankrupt the US, btw. We're broke!

All of us are broke because we 'invested' tens / hundreds of trillion$ of dollars on automobiles which offer a negative real return. There is also the near-zero real return on all the crap that makes up the automobile habitat. We don't even calculate the exorbitant non-money costs.

Since 1914 the world has fought one war after another to control oil reserves - this including the ongoing wars. These reserves are then boiled down, fed into cars and burned up for fun. We will literally do- or kill anything to keep our cars. #Insane.

Here we have Russia, which is an oil extraction state. It has reserves that would last decades under normal circumstances. But ... Kremlin wants more. Yet, whatever it could gain from stolen reserves would not meet the cost of the Kremlin's attempt to steal these same reserves.

As is clear, even to Russians, that the harder the Kremlin tries to prosecute is exercise in lunacy, the faster the country meets its destiny as a failed state. An argument can be made that Russian bankruptcy dynamic began when Putin started meddling in Syria, absorbing that country's war costs

I’m sure Trump wants to invest!

Hopefully, Putin's autocratic state is on its last legs. Don't give up Ukraine!
