So he basically “Grounded” Putin from going around with his pals, is that it?

Brandon sure shows weakness in startling technicolor.

Canadians heard that the government could freeze their accounts and they started taking action to see how to keep their money safe. That was in the span of a few days. Are Russias do dumb ads to not have any contingencies against obvious moves? What happened to all the other sanctions?

And Putin is laughing all the way to the bank while
enjoying his great relationship with the mighty Chinese economic machine.

So , I guess now that these MASSIVE sanctions go into effect and we have essentially cut off all financial and banking resources that russia has..

Will we now see pallets of gold being delivered to the source of the gas pipeline in Germany? On an hourly basis?

Is that how this works now?

Will they just say “Sorry, our ATM machine is down right now.. No credit. Cash only.”

And he mentioned in passing that energy costs were going up here and that we just had to accept it. Nobody remembers the oil price spike in 2008, getting up to 147 a barrel, and how that triggered the housing crash.

Of course, that crash and hardship is the goal of the DC junta. Great reset time.

How much is Hunter making on the deal to move some money around, and how much will The Big Guy make on these business deals? Asking for a friend.
