It's become clear to me that Russia has figured out the most effective way to defeat the US and our allies. Not with bombs. Oh no, but with money. Putin himself is a billionaire and a corporate monopolist. He has figured out that unregulated, unbridled corporatists can just be bought off. Unbridled corporatists will DO ANYTHING to increase profits. Cheat, lie, steal, murder, steal elections. Venal men, like Traitor Trump, and his criminal crew can be bought and owned through massive loans and indebtedness.
Trump is a traitor. The whole Republican party is a vast criminal enterprise.

Remember,Russia is totally supported by its Extraction Industries,and Oil and Gas is their main source of Currency,and their Oil Industry is in trouble do to Sanctions placed by Obama,without new Technology,which is pretty much controlled by the likes of Exxon-Mobile,they are screwed. Russia needs money to modernize it's military as well as promote their causes around the Globe.
Funny how things go unreported and we find the truth later after the shit hits the fan.

(34,661 posts)original sanctions after the chute down of the Airliner over the Ukraine,that did the real damage. When you cut off acsess to Dollars,which is the coin of the Commodities Trade,you are so screwed. Notice during this time frame,certain Hedge Funds and Money center Banks did their best to keep Putin in the Game.
