Do Democrats honestly understand how powerful Putin is?

[odanny]

I don't just read western media lol. Putin literally has decreed as of TODAY that starting April 1st unfriendly nations MUST pay in Rubles. Can't be more clear than that.

I thought most western media was banned in your country?

Why would an American root for a foreign butcher like Putin who is intentionally killing civilians (including women, children and babies)? I don't get it. It's painful to watch.

We know this dude is no American.

I mean, you really might want to look into that a little more.

Not that I'd believe him - but has he ever said where he's from? He's obviously a chameleon shape-shifter.

Who told you this foolish nonsense? CNN? You realize that not a single pound of copper has stopped flowing out of Russia? The only things Russia has withheld they've withheld themselves on purpose to cause a global crisis. Mostly Fertilizer and Food.

The US doesn't ban Russian fertilizer. Russia just refuses to sell it.

Uh huh.

Because you say so. Never mind that the economy is cratering. Never mind the invasion is stalled. Never mind they are unable to keep their war machine chugging against a foe that is one tenth their size.

The simple fact is Putin fucked up when he decided to take his war to Kyiv rather than simply carving off the Donbass area. He will likely end up with Donbass anyway but is going to have to pay in spades where he could have gotten it for free.

Not to mention that his actions alone have unified NATO in a way that no other action or person has been able to do for several decades. And the Russian people are going to pay for this action for decades to come as well. Even more so as the entire planet is going to start distancing itself from Russian imports and moving to sources that are not as unstable and not as militant. If Putin wanted to increase US influence, he certainly did succeed there....

Putin is so powerful he manages a nation that has a smaller economy than TX alone yet has 5 times the population. The only 'power' Putin really has is leftovers from soviet nuclear arsenals. That is it. Other than MAD, he is utterly irrelevant.

That midget Putin?
Who is afraid of that runt?

When Putin forces Europe to pay for gas in Rubles, or forces anyone to pay for any Russian commodity in Rubles, they now have to borrow Rubles at 20%.

Does anyone realize that makes Russia as great an investment as Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger)?

LOL - It's like Putin just blew a hole in the world order and no one can do anything to stop him.

When Warren or Charlie invest they don't lose... like Putin is doing.

Maybe hiding somewhere, too.

Yep, Putin is truly playing Russian roulette.

Putin is so powerful he has his thugs robbing Ukrainian citizens and also taking many of them captive and transferring them to a camp in Russia where they are also stripped of all valuables. He is a weak ass *****.

Europe will have to put on them coats and sweaters as they find who will be their new gas station attendants.

 

[Moonglow]

Aww poor baby doesn't understand how bad it is to take out a loan at 20% interest?

That's almost 2x higher than your credit card you moron.

You pay that much in interest, must have bad credit.

Zero chance he does this on his own.

Putin Reportedly Backs Down In Standoff Over Ruble Payments For Gas

Leaders from Germany and Italy said the Russian president said Europe could continue to purchase gas from Russia in euros.

Well, you're not very bright.

In a related development, Willow Smith just said that Adelle didn't have a very good voice.

DementiacRats don't do anything HONESTLY. Never have, never will.

As far as understanding ANYTHING.......the answer is NO.

I think you're taking it upon yourself to distribute Russian fertilizer.
