“God help us.”
Like you, probably, I am just extremely disappointed at how many here are drinking the Kool Aid media and actually believe that the West has ANY LEVERAGE against a country responsible for supplying the world a huge percentage of its raw materials. People here seem to think that critical materials will simply arrive on barges, even if there’s no one on the other side of the ocean to fill those barges.

Exactly, but there is much more. Sanctions ( illegal in my eyes- never voted on by Congress) just dethroned the USD as the world’s currency. Trillions of unwanted dollars will soon be “ returned” to the US. The effects will be devastating.
The demand for the Yuan , Ruble, and gold is now increasing. The Ruble has quickly recovered all losses and expected to GAIN!
Two of our largest banks were heavily invested in Russia, and “ created” supplied default insurance instruments which some say exceed 300 billion dollars, much going on behind the scenes. The Fed( the bank of last resort) is now supplying $250 billion a night in loans because banks are not loaning to each other. The same happened just before the 08 crash.
The Ukrainian war cheerleaders who support our involvement have been duped once again. The worst part is the damage can not be undone. The world ( read the Indian Finance Ministers speech) is shocked by a weaponized USD and is dropping its use as quickly as they can find alternatives, which they are.
Again, Senile Joe was just ran over by Vlads car, like raccoon road kill…..
at every turn Vlad says Checkmate.
