Putin Killing his economy as well as his own citizens with a pointless war that is going on 4 years.

Despite our best-efforts Russia's economy has been outperforming ours and the economies of our Western European allies for the last four years. Putin has an approximately 90% approval rating in Russia. The Russian people believe that the war with a NATO proxy regime to protect their borders is worthwhile, especially when armed drones launched from Ukraine have been able to cause damage to facilities in Moscow repeatedly. This is not to mention $Billions of damages done to other facilities even further away along with the destruction of oil pipelines.

Every aggressive action that we have encouraged and funded by our puppet state in Ukraine has only made the Russian people more paranoid and more supportive of Putin's dictatorial government. This has been nothing but counterproductive, along with the actions that our intelligence agencies and others took to destabilize the region long before the “war” broke out.
