Over the last year, the Ukraine war has played out both on the battlefields of Ukraine, and on global markets where energy warfare, sanctions, and industrial mobilisation efforts went head to head. Russia wanted to freeze Europe, while the Western allies sought to strangle the Russian economy with sanctions.
A year on - I want to look at how successful these competing economic campaigns have been. Setting the stage to look at battlefield developments, attrition, and force regeneration in the near future.
Russia wanted to freeze Europe? Is that why the Russians blew up Nordstream? Remember the sanctions imposed $5 gas WE paid last year before the US led recession hit? How many billions did the American consumer get screwed out of last summer at the gas pump?
Russia can use an economic weapon, but the USA cannot?
It’s a loser’s war, and China is winning.
The Russians blew up their own pipeline that they spent $10 billion and years building when all they had to do was turn off the pumps? You are either delusional or lying.
Of course they didn’t. The US blew up Nordstream. You are completely right, the sarcastic point I was attempting to make, you’d have to be delusional to believe the BS NATO is peddling. Have you heard the latest (no sarc)? Now NATO claims some rogue Uke, probably Nazi, blew up Nordstream. Delusional and lying.
The US led western economic total warfare against Russia completely failed. It has made Russia and in particular BRICS much stronger. The unprovoked US economic crusade against Russia has enlighten the rest of the non woke, non green, non globalist world. That’s why you see all the sovereign energy and food producing nations flocking to BRICS. As the green maniacs continue to cut North American energy and food production, BRICS share of both increase dramatically. The US has used EVERY economic weapon it has and every weapon of their satraps have been intimidated into use with no effect. Wait until BRICS plus starts throwing its economic weight around.
