Yes. Also, I heard he was going to open a flower shop.
No, the dictator business has a crappy retirement plan.
Russian nuclear warheads can hit US cities and most can’t be zapped.
A large percentage of Russian apartment buildings have fallout shelters I believe.
President Biden accused of war profiteering over the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Excerpt:
The EU is particularly concerned with Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which it sees as a direct threat to Europe’s economy — a fact Biden has reportedly ignored.
“The Inflation Reduction Act is very worrying,” Dutch Trade Minister Liesje Schreinemacher told POLITICO. “The potential impact on the European economy is very big.”
Tonino Picula, who leads the transatlantic relationship for the European Parliament, agrees.
“The U.S. is following a domestic agenda, which is regrettably protectionist and discriminates against U.S. allies,” he said.
A whopping $369 billion industrial subsidy program included in the IRA and aimed at supporting green industries has caused some in the EU to question whether the U.S. can still be considered an ally.
“The Inflation Reduction Act has changed everything,” one EU diplomat said. “Is Washington still our ally or not?”
According to an official from France’s foreign affairs ministry, the subsidies are “discriminatory” and “will distort competition.”
And Germany isn’t any happier with the arrangement.
“We are experiencing a creeping crisis of trust on trade issues in this relationship,” said German MEP Reinhard Bütikofer.
And then there’s all “the money [the U.S. is] making on weapons,” another EU diplomat argued, adding “all this cash on gas” might be “a bit too much.”
“It’s not good, in terms of optics, to give the impression that your best ally is actually making huge profits out of your troubles,” the diplomat stated.

Biden is more likely to step down next year.
It is my understanding that a hothead seized government buildings in eastern Ukraine about a decade ago and started the separatist ball rolling.
Jill likes being First Lady.
Joe likes what Jill likes.
European governments should feel free to hand out $7500 subsidies for their electric cars sold in America.
About $50 billion and lots of Russians have gone up in smoke.
The US is losing money big time in Ukraine.
Who cares. We have our own problems here. F*** Eastern Europe
Zelensky would like to see more EU war profiteering.
Russia is losing $50 billion every month from lost oil & gas sales to Europe
that’s why Putin is desperately seeking to end this war
There is a lot of writing on the wall against your God Putin.
America currently has a brain-dead _Resident; why would Putin need to step down?
Yep. Same for Kosovo.
And how does the convicted felon Armstrong plan to monetize this post? Does Putin pay him a salary?

Yes, when I worked in Moscow ALL Khrushchev style apartments, airports, factories and manufacturing plants had stocked, maintained facilities. They are much more prepared for a nuke exchange, keep in mind Clinton abolished our CD shelters and program way back when.
This was always about regime change. Just like the Obama era appointed zelensky, they intend to replace Putin with their own puppet.
His nationalism is problematic. They must control Russian natural resources… can’t go green tyranny without them… they sure aren’t going to pay the Russian people fair market value.
