Russia is still suffering from the 60 million killed by their own government and WW 2 in the 1930's and 1940's. A wide open nation in many ways...sounds like you are assuming Putin is omnipotent.

“Today’s actions, taken in coordination with our partners and allies, begin the process of dismantling the Kremlin’s financial network and its ability to fund destabilizing activity in Ukraine and around the world,” said Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen. “We continue to monitor Russia’s actions and if it further invades Ukraine, the United States will swiftly impose expansive economic sanctions that will have a severe and lasting impact on Russia’s economy.”

How does Russia benefit? Trump praises Putin as 'savvy' amid new escalations on Russia-Ukraine borderhttps://krdo.com/video/2022/02/22/russia-is-already-paying-a-hefty-financial-price-for-its-aggression/
By Charles Riley, CNN Business
Russian stocks plunged and the ruble slid closer to a record low on Tuesday as investors reacted to President Vladimir Putin’s decision to order troops into eastern Ukraine.
Moscow’s MOEX stock index dropped 4% after shedding more than 10% on Monday, bringing losses so far this year to over 20%. In total, more than $40 billion has been wiped off the value of Russian stocks this week alone.
The ruble fell toward 81 versus the US dollar on Tuesday, its weakest level in more than a year and close to its record low. The moves prompted Russia’s central bank to announce measures to support banks, including a provision that will allow them to use last Friday’s prices for stocks and bonds when reporting their financial positions.
More pain could be on the way.
“We expect further declines near-term in the Russian stock market,” analysts at JPMorgan Chase wrote in a note to clients on Tuesday. The Wall Street bank downgraded Russian equities to “neutral” from “overweight.”
Damage to Russia’s markets and economy would be limited if its troops do not advance beyond the parts of eastern Ukraine that Putin recognized as independent on Monday, according to analysts. But Russia would pay a higher price if further aggression causes the West to respond with punishing sanctions that could cut the country’s banks off from the global financial system and make it difficult to export oil and natural gas.

Will you MAGA nuts applaud when we start suffering from Putin's "Hitler-Like" aggression? It is sad that the repub party is now supporting the fall of a fledgling democracy caused by an Authoritarian regime. trump is actually applauding Putin and cheering for a war.
Trump is calling for another march on Washington DC.D.C. is putting up walls and the National Guard is on call for some reason.
Trump didn't dismiss NATO, Jim...he forced our NATO partners to put the money into keeping NATO strong. Trump certainly didn't play into Putin's hands! That was clueless Joe Biden who hasn't been right about Russia in decades! Or have you forgotten Biden pooh poohing Mitt Romney when Romney declared Russia to be our biggest threat to peace in the world? As Biden has done time after time when it comes to foreign policy...he got it totally wrong! It was Biden INVITING Putin to do what he just did when Biden made his comment about how a limited action by Russia would most likely not result in a response by America!Putin did not figure in the unity that the NATO allies have fostered. His aggression has galvanized NATO. The days of trump dismissing NATO and playing into Putin's hands are over. The Russian population will suffer and Putin may be the one they blame for his bald aggression against a sovereign nation.
And the treasonous repub party applauds his cut throat tactics.
No one is stopping you. If they were many of the politicians would be dead.Yes. To protect the country from our right wing jihadis.

Furthermore, when have sanctions EVER worked on a nation?I wonder if the clown car at CNN understands that Putin has already factored in sanctions in his bid to take Ukraine? Probably not. They're as doorknob dumb as the leftists here.
None of our NATO partners were living up to what they were supposed to be contributing to the support of NATO, Surada and Barack Obama did nothing about that! Donald Trump held their feet to the fire and MADE them do so! It's the difference between someone just talking the talk and someone who did something about a problem!Obama already got NATO to agree to incremental increases in their contributions.
The US has plenty of natural gas. The Europeans would just have to invest in new infrastructure and pay the US twice as much.Putin has already made the calculation that Europe now needs Russian natural gas and will cave on sanctions after a brief display of saber rattling. He's been able to make that calculation because Joe Biden let the US production of natural gas fall off dramatically so that we no longer can provide what Europe needs! Biden's pandering to the anti fossil fuel crowd has driven up the price of oil and natural gas in the US but it's also given Putin the leverage he needs to pull a stunt like invading the Ukraine!
Trump had nothing else to say to NATO so he just regurgitated a problem that had already been resolved.None of our NATO partners were living up to what they were supposed to be contributing to the support of NATO, Surada and Barack Obama did nothing about that! Donald Trump held their feet to the fire and MADE them do so! It's the difference between someone just talking the talk and someone who did something about a problem!
