The US and allies must be clear-eyed about this: what might the economic and political ripple effects of the war be?
We must do what we can to contain Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Ukraine. But we also need to be clear-eyed about it, and face the costs. Economics can’t be separated from politics, and neither can be separated from history. Here are eight sobering realities:

Robert Reichhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
.
There are just too many upsides to them in $6.00 gasoline.
Look at Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer that passed off Biden as vigorous and brilliant. I guarantee they think they can fool the people and recruit the elite GOP Senators who loathe and abhor the Republican base to work with them.
Does anyone believe the DoJ and FBi with Pentagon Generals / Intel won’t indict Donald Trump?
If they get Gas to $6,00, they are never giving that up.
They want people living in Cities, kids going to schools co-located in the neighborhood, Mass Transit as the only realistic choice, and to make it very difficult to flee.
Reich is a MARXIST economist. That explains his covering for Putin.
Robert “Third” Reich just can’t help taking an underhanded shot at Trump in this crap article. Man, I really loathe leftist pigs like him.
ReicccccccccccccccccccccccccccchhhhhhhhbhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhUUUUUUUHHHHH!
I miss Rush.
Putin’s Puppets give the Biden Crime Family MILLIONS of DOLLARS!!
“If they get Gas to $6,00, they are never giving that up.”
They are wicked liars and pull the bait and switch tactic on almost everything they propose.
Obozo care - Dont worry, pass it and you’ll save $2500/yr and keep your doctor.
Dont worry, pass it and you’ll [fill your favorite bait and switch in here].
A couple of days ago, a Freeper described Ukraine’s president as “the Ukrainian version of Jimmy Kimmel.” I still crack up every time I think of that. Maybe that’s what we are dealing with here … countries in the West that are run by clowns and buffoons.
It’s not just western Europe’s reliance on Russian gas that is driving decisions in this conflict. Just look at the bucket full of @ssholes in our own government whose children have made a fortune working for Ukrainian gas companies. Those companies aren’t selling Ukrainian gas. They’re selling Russian gas that is transported by pipeline across Ukraine.
He also blames Trump for Russia’s aggressiveness. he is not serious.
“Somehow he doesn’t mention anything about ramping up domestic production, or slowing down this headlong dash into “green” idiocy.”
If you lived with a person who could be “triggered” into a violent rage, you quickly learn how not to trigger that rage. It’s Stokholm syndrome but on a small, personal scale. That’s where every published writer is today. No one wants to be “cancelled.” The symptom of being cancelled is becoming the focus of “rage.”
He is spot on until 8 when he compares Putin with Trump and that neither want liberal democracies vs authoritarian rule.
The article appeared to be too good to be true, in the end the libtards always show their colors
What he doesn't realize, in his self-satisfied but entirely misguided zeal for what he THINKS is intellectualism, is that liberal democracies ARE authoritarian - as we just saw in Canada. Our republic is the best system to prevent totalitarianism and authoritarianism, and people like Reich have been trying to circumvent it and undue it incessantly.
Yeah right, RR. These Swamp dwellers are still trying to provoke a war with Russia. I’ve been watching the Ukraine live cams. As usual, the MSM is lying through their teeth. That includes Fox News. They’re showing OLD Video shots from years ago. The one shot of the Russian plane is from an old video game! SMH
Russia took out the US bioweapon labs! They scrubbed the news on that per usual. Putin is taking out the Ukraine Swamp and putting an end to their corruption, the child trafficking and drug markets. No more money for you, Hunter, Kerry, Pelosi & Romney! It’s over C_A! You lost.
What The Guardian (which makes the Amazon Compost look like a right wing rag) will never admit is that Putin attacked because he wants to recreate the USSR and hasn’t the slightest fear of the guy whose Party once told him that we’d be flexible when it came to defense.
Yeah, he comes up short.
Reich is a Bolshevik self-hating Jew. It explains everything. /spit.
...and they ALSO always find a way to use a "crisis" to their political advantage:
#9 Biden's poll numbers are in the toilet, and the entire Democrat Party is going to get its butt kicked in November, even if we cheat - WE NEED A WAR TO DISTRACT THE VOTERS!
;>)
“WE NEED A WAR TO DISTRACT THE VOTERS!”
It’s exactly that. Wag The Dog. At least in the movie the war was fake and created in a studio. With PINO Joe’s war, people actually die.
