It is about globalist control in the first place. They know full well that they’ll part with the money if they bite it anyway.

Austin Bay has often proved pretty sensible in my recollection.

There is much more to this situation other than one man has become delusional. Did the Ukrainian government not buy influence with the current POTUS? Are we to forget that?

I am sure that the alleged Putin’s insanity is not the case. He probably knows more than we know.

Amazing:

All 3 of the world highest ‘leaders’ are delusional.

Wealthy people can move their money around in a nanosecond, and money is fungible.

The oligarchs of all countries are doing just fine..

The fat wealthy want things to stay the same... Putin wants more power and a place in history. These desire conflict - it’s gonna get interesting.

Still wasting everyone’s time posting neocon, globaloid TRASH from Town Hall?

A completely collapsed subscriber base is well deserved in their case. Buh-bye.

You’re truly one of their last readers Kaslin.

Does anyone else find it deeply disturbing…the Bidenista-led strategy of using banks and seizing private property based on citiizenship, with no due process, while calling it ‘sanctions”?

Forget the “oligarchs’….Do they think Russians want Biden, Soros, Blinken and Nuland overthrowing their elected govt and choosing for them a more compliant ( to the West) regime? Like that has worked out so well everywhere else…

Is Putin not likely to be replaced by an even more nationalist hard liner who sees western manipulation of Russian political leadership to be…unacceptable ( mildly speaking)

“Not when the transfer system is shut down.”

There is no “the transfer system.”

What has been shutdown is one transfer system.

Find some rich person—they will explain it to you...

“The best way out of this stupid, murderous war — for Russians, for Ukrainians, the rest of the world, including greedy oligarchs — isn’t more sanctions or more war. The way out for the oligarchs is a Kremlin coup toppling Putin. The gallows humorists call it a nine-millimeter solution — a bullet to the insane man’s head.

Who does the deed? Leave that to the oligarchs and embarrassed generals.”

I think so. I’m sure the Russian people are not behind this senseless war. Their standard of living and freedoms had improved significantly since the fall of the USSR. They needed this war like a whole in the head.

A lot of folks are miscalculating all of this. You take all of a man’s money except his weapons and he’ll use the weapons to get back what he believes to be rightfully his. That is just common sense.

The author writes somewhat frivolously about Putin's mental state.

Putin has hundreds of nuclear weapons aimed at the USA.

Every day this war goes on, I think more about the USA, and less about the Ukraine.

True enough, but they want STABILITY, and to keep their 'wars' in crappy little out-of-the-way places where they can profit without too much risk.

The imperialist Putin is pooping in their punchbowl, and they've got to settle him down.
