In 1980 communism was dead except in S.E. Asia?!? What an idiotic remark to make. That gas station has militarily, economically and diplomatically bi+ch slapped the West all around the world for two years now. You get the award for the two stupidest comments I’ve seen in a while.
Exactly, yet I read a post above abt Reagan not dealing with Russia while he not only dealt with Russia, he dealt with commies all over earth.
Russia GDP $2.2 trillion and entirely dependent on fuel prices.
US GDO $25.5 trillion.
He slapped his way to paying 16% for hard currency and paying 100% more for imports.
US is $200,000,000,000,000 debt/unfunded obligations, borrows at 4%.
IOW Coke pays 16% for money, Pepsi pays 4%-who wins?
One other thing-
everyone is a genius and a winner when markets double-
even the dimmest nitwits on earth magically turn into Einsteins.
when the tide goes out-it’s whom is left standing that counts.
leaving the real question-when MAGA oil v2.0 returns-
will comrade Vlad still be standing?
It is a reasonable question but not to folks that believe Russia is economically slapping anyone or anything.
