I think many others have as well. We can agree, disagree, get along, and throw shade all at the same time. This thread isn't totally toxic, it actually gives me hope for the republic. Also, not 1 single person on here has said anything pro Putin. 0 zilch nada He's just big mad he's been wrong about everything and the senile old man they supported has been a complete disaster. The party of permanent covid, masked kids in schools (part of November was parents had now seen what 18 months of their hysteria so Trump would lose did to their kids), inflation, gas prices soaring, the embarrassment and disgrace that was Afghanistan, and now after telling you for years Trump was going to start WWIII and will roll over for Putin - nope they did that. So what they want to do is distract from it all - and Putin is a proxy for Trump. They are do delusional that's what they think they are "creating" that's the narrative. That they are nobly supporting democracy and Trump people hate it. The thread title is flat out telling you all this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 More on Tuckers concern over our greenbacks and how Russia has almost completely moved away from them: "The nation slashed its dollar reserves to just 16% of the central bank’s stockpile in 2021, down from more than 40% just four years prior. That’s meant aggressively hacking its holdings of U.S. Treasuries, shrinking ownership by almost 98% from a peak in 2010 and removing dollar assets from its sovereign wealth fund. These moves will now help insulate Russia from some of the worst fallout of escalating U.S. and European sanctions after President Vladimir Putin began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. While sanctions so far prevent the nation from tapping international investors, with the U.S. prohibiting new purchases in the secondary market from March, efforts to make Russia less dependent on the dollar could blunt their impact and potentially buy Putin time to withstand even more stringent sanctions, at least for a while." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-24/russia-s-years-long-quest-to-quit-dollar-is-blunting-sanctions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though now it appears as though Russia will still have SWIFT access. I doubt Germany ever gets on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a mutual objective of eliminating US global hegemony. Russia in Europe and the Middle East and China in Asia while quietly establishing what can only be described as colonies in Africa. They have made great progress while Americans walk around staring at their smart phones all day. All while our government and media are focused on witch hunts for "domestic extremists" and push things like gender fantasies in life and entertainment such as the virtues of boys adopting feminine traits and pushing the narrative of feminist strength and wisdom. Hollywood relegating the white (sometimes black too) male character to the role of a stupid and ineffective bit player in the story. Wimpifying our younger male population. Hardly the seed stock for an effective fighting force necessary to engage tough and hardening Russian and Chinese soldiers that I guarantee are trained to show no mercy. Is it a surprise as the academic world and entertainment industry and media in many respects are controlled by Chinese money. Maybe this Russian invasion will wake the country up to real threats? If not, then what will? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Biden has been a central figure in American politics for 50 years, the current leadership on the house and senate for a long time as well. Tendencies are studied, calculations made and action taken. That his nefarious actions took place at this time, under this leadership, is quite telling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Putin’s in a real fix. That idiot really thought the Ukrainians would put down their arms and surrender. Instead they spit in his eye and fight like patriots to a great cause always do. His own people are rising up at great personal threat to themselves, crippling sanctions are on the way. Just hope we are getting weapons, ammunition and other supplies into the war zone.

I have no interest in trying to convince you of anything Trump had a responsibility to the US taxpayer to ask other countries to abide by agreements and pay their agreed portion. France, Turkey Italy, Germany and Canada weren't. The claim is somehow made that the individual, as the elected representative of his country is responsible for weakening the alliance, while being burdened with a disproportionate amount of the bill., but those not paying their share are not weakening the alliance. Ya. that makes sense. Canada, by the way, as of 2016, was the lowest contributor as a % of GDP, which was the understanding, so they, of course, should have the greatest leverage in criticizing. At some point we may even get somebody to call out the uselessness of the UN, another burden we disproportionally fund. But we're a ways away from that. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of us are concerned we can’t convince you not to use a hair dryer in the bathtub, but what does that have to do with Biden and Putin today? NATO leadership knows exactly what they were getting when Biden was elected. He’s been in office for 25% of his term, and was VP for 8 years. Surely he had a plan to rebuild alliances, and established inroads over the past several years as he campaigned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
