Understand that this is the first war of the battle between central banking systems. On one side, the US and the 1st world with the Dollar. On the other side BRICs.
Russia was supposed to “shock and awe” and take over Ukraine in 60 days. Then Russia could use the power and oil production to blackmail the EU to stay out of the China / Taiwan conflict. But that did not happen.
Now Russia is caught in a costly battle over control over Crimea. China wont push Taiwan because they know that they cant fight the entire world.
So we are at a stalemate that will continue to consume men, ammo, and body parts.
Interesting take on the situation - and one more reason to elect Trump.
Wow, what a take.
Over 16,000 sanctions on Russian products and our one trick pony to carve up Russia with Ukraine has resulted in Brics ascension due to our shortsighted breaking of laws to further harm Russia. From illegally stealing assets to Nordstream destruction, the financial system is no longer trusted by 2/3ds of the world looking for stability.
Russia captured the eastern Ukraine pretty quickly and have been taking their time to grind down the Uke military as they take town after town. It is estimated that the Ukraine has lost some 600,000 soldiers.
