I can’t cheer Erdogan, Turkey is going to be a big problem for us down the road. They are just biding their time until Russia is weakened.

It's Chinese that are the biggest threat to American dominance. And, the Biden regime and neocons were morons for going after Russia and pushing the Russians into an alliance the Chinese.
A lot of “Russia” are those Islamic Central Republics.

Russian Ruble is stronger now than before Ukraine war. Russia has largest natural resource reserves in the world. And most important, national debt is smaller than United States by orders of magnitude.
USA will crumble long before Russia. If we continue stupid foreign war indulgence on borrowed money.
If we were smart, we would have learned from Vietnam fiasco. But istead we repeated with Iraq war fiasco. And repeated same blunder again with Afghan war fiasco. Now continuing with Ukraine fiasco.
Russia is 12 time zones with natural resources all over the place. 2 reasons Russia is not worlds biggest economy.
1. Central planning communist system
2. Small population.
Also geography. Russia’s rivers all run N-S.

Won 52% of the vote...
