Okay....we try to bankrupt them. I understand that.

1) HOW do we drive down the price of gas and oil when our pRes__ent is deliberately trying to drive them UP?

2) Should they realize what we’re trying to do, would that not make them just a little...oh, I don’t know...angry? Pissing off a nuclear-armed country isn’t exactly smart.

I’m curious how much investment Russia now has in the USA. Nuking an investment target doesn’t make tremendous sense.

NATO never put major facilities in the former USSR in deference to Russian sensibilities. Given Putin’s latest adventure, now is the proper to expand the NATO footprint in the Baltics and other eastern member areas. NATO must project power now. Projecting weakness now will be the of end of NATO as a credible deterrent. Putin will feel free to reassemble the USSR at his leisure.
