My theory is that Russia’s central bank is 60% owned by their own government, and 40% by investors. The western banking establishment cannot call the tune there and the Soros crew was kicked out. Russia has a debt to GDP ratio of 19%. Personal income taxes are 13%... period.
They have one sixth of the earths surface and are loaded with mineral wealth.
Compare that to our country. Taxes are a nightmare and we are at best 130% of debt to GDP and that doesn’t even include SS and entitlements.
Everything is explainable by this. Our greed class wants to remove Putin so they can get control of the Russian bank, peg the Ruble to the Dollar, and let western oil companies run the oil and gas industry.
They tried a color revolution with Hillary in 2011, and now try to provoke fights hoping to hand him some kind of defeat that would drive him from office and let them install a western puppet as in the 90s. Everything makes sense through that lens, pushing the NGOS on them, pushing the homosexuality, attacking every Russian ally they can like Libya and Syria, pushing for a war in Ukraine, etc.
The bottom line, DC, the neocons, and the banking establishment passionately hate Trump and Putin, and are utterly enthralled with communist China. So despite the lamentations of DC, this is not about authoritarianism, human rights or any of that bunk. Otherwise they would treat China the same.
Then in that logic Taiwan belongs to the PRC. But we shouldn’t defend them either as that is an internal matter of China, right?
if you want to contain the home of communism today, surround DC... outpost of red China.
Heads up.
And Communist Russia...
In their deranged DC minds, we will have what they call a “short and sharp” war with Russia and use networking, high tech and whiz bang to teach them a lesson.
They are then supposed to accept defeat and slink home, and them Putin will be driven from office in humiliation. A color revolution installs the new guy and the looting begins.
Of course, nothing in Russian history would lead anyone to believe they would accept defeat and slink away. Over there it is an article of faith that any nation that attacks their home will be -utterly- destroyed within the hour.
That was 30 years ago. Communists there are about as gadfly as David Duke is here. You need to get out more.
I personally believe that US policy against Russia is formed inside China.
US leadership is outright owned by China, but yet, somehow, are dead set on weakening/breaking China’s partner, Russia.
That makes no sense unless a weak Russia is in China’s interest. Perhaps China wants to drive Russia into its sphere of influence, but why, given it already owns the most powerful country... the US, does China need Russia?
I think China wants to break up Russia and in the process grab Russia’s Far East. Right next to China’s largest corn producing province (Heilongjiang) is Russia’s largest soybean producing oblast (Amur).
If Russia and the US fight, China wins. If the US loses, China is the most powerful country. If Russia loses, China grabs Russian land.
I think the US is the tool China is using to attack Russia.
NO!
By the logic demonstrated with Russia/Ukraine example, yours example isn’t logical. Apples and oranges.
The years of scapegoating Russia took a toll. Idiots on the left hated Trump, so invented a boogy-man (Russia) and tied him to it. Then trashed them both.
We have idiots running the country. No NATO expansion! No NATO, period! Disband it. Fer gawds sake, Turkey is in it!
And pull our troops out of Europe. Especially Germany. Good Lord.

Again showing your complete and total ignorance of Russia even while you routinely pretend to know WTF you're talking about. The Russian Communist Party wins on the regular about 20-25% of the vote. They're hardly anathema like David Duke (and David Duke, apparently, has a strong enough audience in Russia that he even visits there and takes photos with Alexandr Dugin). But you don't need the Communist party to run things when 60-70% of all government posts that can be appointed are filled with KGB-FSB or old Soviet military people, and these same "former" KGB and current FSB control most of the media and economy in Russia. It's not a coincidence that Putin helps communists everywhere, whether it's in Latin America, arming and supporting terror groups like FARC, or communist dictatorships North Korea with new weapons technologies, or China to harass and provoke South Korea, Japan, and everyone else.
The whole "Putin is not a Communist" argument only works if you only listen and pay attention to his speeches condemning gays and ignore everything he does. But hating the gays isn't that impressive. Even the Chinese make those sorts of comments, or attack "femininity" in their men. These countries need it, since the Russian military is filled with predatory homosexuals who occasionally get shot up by conscripts who can't take the abuse any more.
Basically, your entire Pro-Russian ideology revolves around a handful of his speeches, and not anything real. It isn't even real in Russia, where only 7% of the population bothers to attend church once a month, and where Putin's government routinely persecutes Protestants, Catholics, etc., in order to support the Russian Orthodox which is ruled by known KGB operatives, not men of real faith. Archbishop Kirill was spreading Liberation Theology under orders of the KGB before being promoted to his present rank.
Unfortunately, you are a troll, so no amount of truth telling on Russia will help you one little bit. But perhaps some reader will learn to not take your BS seriously, especially when you claim to be an authority on anything.
Russia and China have been close allies since Soviet times, even during the so-called Sino-Soviet split, which was a propaganda operation per defectors like Anatoliy Golitsyn.
If China wanted Russia out of the way, they could ally with the USA, their cash cow, instead of doing military maneuvers with Russia aimed at the United States.
Yes, the United States is after the majestic and amazing Russian economy, which has a GDP somewhere between Illinois and Florida. With Russia under our control, we will have a monopoly on their vodka resources.
