He can with China’s help.
What matters is not the geopolitical strategy. What matters is 10% for the Big Guy.
Hey, we used to be a big oil producing country and a big exporter of oil to the world market. I wonder what happened?
Just in case you were wondering about this author's desire. The US as a hegemon of a growing globalist empire that will, in this instance, take control of the Black Sea.
In other words, what Putin fears is what you promise. And people think the idiots on our side aren't up to warmongering with our lives and our treasure.
Get a rope.

We play chess against the Russians. Keep advancing your pawns across the board and sooner or later Putin has no choice but to take a couple.
This is an economic, not military analysis. An analogy would be that the Union could not “win the long game” retaking the Confederacy after the war.
And this works off the assumption that Russia would completely reabsorb the entire Ukraine. But that is just one scenario. They may just take over the eastern part, where there has long been fighting, in a kind of Hitlerian move, “to protect the Russians living there”.
They may strategically attack any long range weapons to crush the Ukraine’s ability to resist, forcing them into a weak posture for later negotiations. They may decide to wipe out their military navy. The list goes on.
Santiago is so full of Mitt, his eyes are brown.

Resident Biden is risking the lives of millions in order to have a wag-the-dog war to distract America from his abysmal failures.
…and that is why President Trump reamed Merkel when she signed up for Russian gas.
The Atlantic Council again. Bunch of neocon turds. And of course they can’t lower the price of oil and gas because of the global warming green cult, and the Germans need a way to stay warm, and nobody wants the neocons new war.
Not to mention, the Chinese will buy all the gas and raw materials Russia can supply. And the globalists all LOVE them some Red China.
And why is it so high? Because of asinine, leftist, green-energy fantasies imposed on the West by the same foolish woke leadership trying to contain Russia.
Suck it, dumb@sses
I can’t imagine Russia seeking to conquer Kiev. If there’s anything here, Russia’s goal is to reclaim the Donbas, an ethnically Russian-dominated region in the mountains of Southeast Ukraine.
That said, if the U.S. was generating oil full-steam, we could sanction Russia back to the stone age.
Biden has opposed an Israeli gas line in the Mediterranean Sea that would pump gas to Europe.
Biden’s war wouldn’t be happening if he wouldn’t have gave Putin his pipe line and shut ours down.
Stupid voters and rigged elections have bad results.
