Russian President Vladimir Putin came out swinging at the U.S. on Friday in an aggressive speech as he announced the annexation of four Ukrainian regions.

In a message that was already expected to be hostile, Putin further escalated threats against Ukraine and the West by saying the U.S. set a "precedent" of nuclear warfare by hitting Japan with atomic bombs during World War II.

Fears have mounted since last week when Putin said he was "not bluffing" after he warned that Moscow would use "all weapons systems available" to defend Russian territory.

Yeah, Demand destruction. The shape in that chart is the tell that it refers to typical products that are known as having elastic demand. Oil and gas have inelastic demand, which requires a different chart that’s much less “curvy” shall we say.

Govts control the vast majority of worldwide oil/gas supplies. Private companies control a very small amount. And what do govts crave? Income. They will defend energy prices.

Kosovo Karma. A lot of people don’t get Russians, esp here.
A common thread in his speech is how the west did it first.

Hey dingus, do you ever link anything other than West/UK/US/EU/NATO propaganda-ridden media or those affiliated with such?

I seldom link to anything; but when I do, my selection is generally eclectic, and in response to someone else’s post, providing an alternative viewpoint.

Did you ever get permission to give out your parent’s credit card numbers, bank account numbers, social security numbers or was going from the basement to the living room too much of a task?

The entire history of Russia and its expansion was about wiping out or ruling over smaller groups of other peoples.

Its why knowing real history is important. Socialists are total hypocrites.

The west annexed land for themselves? News to me, and the world.

See? You don’t get it.

It might be about the orthodox church and thinking eastern. They use a lot of symbolism.

It is difficult to explain in English.

Japan did not have atomic bombs when we used two against it, nor did Japan have the means to deliver atomic bombs to the mainland of the U.S. Is Putin, with his tough talk, forgetting that we have nuclear bombs and the means to deliver them? No. His tough talk is for domestic consumption.
