You maybe right. It’s just a hunch but I think russia and china were involved in the election steal. Russia promised there pipeline and ukraine. Of course they know biden has to make him look like a bad guy. We were buying 70 million in oil a day from Russia until ukraine called him out for it. Basically funding both sides. Ukraine has dirt on the biden family and so does China and Russia. Looks like biden just dropped the sanctions on the Chinese goods that Trump put on. They all wanted Trump gone because they own biden and the politicians wanted Trump gone so they could go back to business as usual.
This war is about OIL. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4050958/posts
The Russians weren’t even interested in western Ukraine until oil was found there. Their interest is simply in raping that country. Russia gets 60% of its revenues from oil exports. Europe gets 40% of their oil from Russia.
In 2012 massive oil and gas reserves were found in Crimea. Crimea signed a $10 billion exploration contracts with Shell and Chevron to develop the new found oil and gas fields. These oil and gas products would compete in Europe with Russia’s oil and gas, reducing Russia’s oil revenues, which we recall amount to 60% of their total GDP. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, cancelling the contracts with Shell and Chevron.
But Ukraine still had massive reserves in, you guessed it, Donetsk and Luhansk, and other areas East of the Dnieper River. In 2019, Energy Secretary Rick Perry visited Ukraine, and soon after Ukraine awarded exploration contracts to a consortium of U.S. oil companies. Again, these oil reserves would compete in Europe with Russian oil, so Putin is invading Ukraine to shut down this latest attempt to extract Ukrainian oil and sell it in competition with Russian oil.
This explanation makes more sense to me than the “Putin feels threatened by NATO expansion” excuses for the invasion.

If the Ukes allow some small region in the west to be its own republic, but the OIL belongs to Ukraine, do ya think Pootypoot would allow that? Nope.
Yes the entire West is functionally bankrupt at this point, held together by smoke and mirrors. It’s going to be very bad for the US, but twice as bad for Europe for a number of reasons, primarily because we have much greater energy production and reserves compared to them. I’m predicting a full blown economic depression starting in Europe within the next year or so.
Ammunition is good for trade too is what I meant. But yeah the other thing too if its needed!
If you hax even a basic understanding of why the US dollar is used you wouldn’t spew out all that kook crap.
A good friend of mine wrote a story about the world sixty years after an economic collapse. It’s NOT family friendly or I’d share it but the point was that all sorts of bad things can happen very quickly when an economy collapses with its currency.
In FX land, everything is is relative. And relative is all that matters.
“In 2012 massive oil and gas reserves were found in Crimea. Crimea signed a $10 billion exploration contracts with Shell and Chevron to develop the new found oil and gas fields.

Just thieving criminal scum. Reagan always said Russua was a parasite country that had to prey on smaller weak countries to survive.
Perhaps Biden has a lot of poopy diapers lying around Ukraine that he would love to see get buried? It would be most unfortunate if all of that evidence on Hunter got “lost” by the orcs.
Your friend is correct, most people have no idea how bad things can get if something like a currency crash occurs. Especially when they don’t expect it and had no idea it could possibly occur in the first world countries of the West. If you think things are bad now just wait until crime soars and Amazon and other delivery trucks get hijacked on a daily basis.
Do you have a problem if I hold the U.S. and Russia to the same standards?
Biden is not a serious player—he is a clueless puppet.
Pretending that he has agency just muddies the waters.
Stolen elections do not seem to have any consequences for the thieves.
Opening the US borders to illegal invaders do not seem to have any consequences.
“Laughable as the USA is closing in on a 29,000,000,000,000 national debt.”
Most all that is owed to Americans. Retirees, people that will retire, you know the people that earned all the money that the Democrats borrowed to get elected.
US foreign policy is to make the world safe for perverts.
But you are not. What country did we invade under phony pretenses to steal the oil anx resources? Iraq? Wow, we got so much from them for our 7 trillion invested. How about Afganistan? Another wow at all that mineral wealth we got from them. Obviously those “wows” are extreme sarcasm.
LOL!! +1000!
Yes, 5000 rubles per gram...but only Russians can exchange them.
Then why didn’t they pay their debt in gold?
Who the hell is the U.S. to sanction anyone else for invading another sovereign country?
