“Vladimir Putin ‘doesn’t give a s**t’ about the risk of Western sanctions if his country were to invade Ukraine”
The Russian people will pay the price. These are not sanctions. They are next level economic restrictions, involving the use of western banking.
Putin doesn’t give a shit, because he doesn’t give a s**t about the Russian people.
Not when Russia can still get access to western banks through China and Iran. If Rissia attacks, sanctions need to be brought against China, Iran, North Korea, and the entire CSTO, including a blockade. Same goes for any Chinese incursion onto Taiwan or bad actions by Kim Jung Un.
He cares for them about as much as Biden cares about the American people.
“Putin doesn’t give a shit, because he doesn’t give a s**t about the Russian people.”
Sorta like Xiden’s concern for Americans.
But Putin also has a boatload of nukes and knows how to use them. He also understands the consequences of nukes — but so did Sadam Hussian understand withdrawing and the scorched earth concept. Remember the oil fields all set afire?? I do.
