Am compiling/processing/digesting various DU thoughts/threads
The funny part is that PUTEEN (rhymes with STALEEEN) wants to make the USSR Great Again. (Yes, I know what Russia is and what USSR is.)
So lets set the table: the Ukraine president is a comedian (like in Honduras or wherever), but we elected Drumpf, so scratch that as a disqualifier. The president & prime minister are Jewish, so theyre easy-out for PUTEEN.
Bottom line, Ukraine is a gone-er. And its GONE. Get it? So of course the wingnuts will pile on BIDEN on top of Afghanistan. Holy Zeus, how much that poor man has on top of him. But no one man is important. But I digress.
Oh, the new news is that SANCTIONS will not work. One Ruskie bigwig already said sanctions wont bother them at all. And the new news is that the ELITE OLIGARCHS around PUTEEN make out like bandits (more than they ARE) from sanctions because it makes their economy MORE DEPENDENT on *THEM*.
So in our politics, the wingnuts will tag us as incompetent and gullible.
PUTEEN is going for broke for his USSR/KGB legacy, but will he go nuclear? Really?
