U.S. dose not trade much with Russia.  Europe does. Especially Germany.

German looks at Russia as a trading partner.

Not so much an enemy like your U.S. democratic party..

It's 2022.

Not 1980.

Woke America better wake up.

Germany has more or less mirrored America:

Putin has made NATO as united than ever. It seems like he's kind of overplayed his hand.

Putin has made NATO as strong as ever. It seems like he's kind of overplayed his hand. 

NATO is worthless.

It's no longer relevant.  

U.S. is wasting their time and money running around trying to play international police while economic powers like China and Germany are fighting/investing in the economic war .  U.S. is losing that war.  

U.S. stayed in Afghanistan too long. Spent trillions. Gets embarrassed then China walks in and signs deals for the treasure chest of minerals such as lithium, copper, oil, gas , etc, etc. etc, etc, etc. to name a few.

How much do you want to pay for US gasoline in a case of severe sanctions on Russia?

Oil even now is nearly triple digits. 

Just in time before US mid-term elections for Biden.

Inflation is at 40 year record level and looks good from Putin point of view. Inflation at over 10 % - why not.

So severe sanctions on Russia who is now a world energy price fixer you can exclude from the very begining.

Finally there will agreement on federalization of Ukraine.

Let me reveal you a secret- Putin DOESNT WANT TO ANNEX UKRAINE

Russia simply wants to bankrupt Ukraine by very high oil, NG and coal price and recent mess and war histeria that hurts Ukraine economically much harder than Russia

On Ukraine currently we have a record capital outflow and its best guarantee of no FDI for at least next couple of years because noone invest in future war zone.

For Putin - yes capital outflow. But at the same time oil nearly triple digits and NG at 25 $ per Mbbtu for Europe

Instead of weapons Ukraine needs a lot more a new Marshall aid programme - but it wont get it.

Its subject of annoying and deterring Russia and noone cares about well-being of Ukrainians.

Russian plan is to make live there so miserable that they finaly elect prorussian candidate.

Its a matter of sphere of infuence not annexation.

And Russian will  finally win?

 Why = because its much more determined and West needs a litle bit more neutral Russia in confrontation with China much more than Ukraine.

Russia's plan is being implemented.

Due to the Western panic foreign investors now imposed much stricter sanctions on Ukraine than ever on Russia.The current crisis will have a heavy impact on the Ukrainian economy 

 Anyway the Russians are just watching - we have not even attacked yet and the Western diplomats, foreign instructors and Ukrainian oligarchs are fleeing in panic

This is a best proof for a reasonable man how much Ukraine is worth to them despite the never-ending propaganda.

If you are not going to defend Ukraine its high time to end discussion about NATO acession.

Real assessment of the geostrategic situation in the region (without the wish concert):

- Ukraine will not join NATO / EU

- Crimea will not return to Ukraine

- The sale of weapons to Ukraine will not stop the possible aggression of Russia -

Sanctions will not deter Putin

- NATO will not fight for Ukraine.

The western impact zone ends at the Bug River.

The West has conquered that much after the collapse of the USSR but there will be no further expansion.

The end of US hegemony is near we are close to the formation of a new multipolar order since at least 2008.

Its time for Europe to define its geopotlitical interest by themselves not under US hegemony.

disagree. EU-RU trade is entirely an American interest.  minus control of the EU, Amurcun power falls. Europeans need to remove their veils imposed by the zionists, see history and themselves clearly, and grow some scrotums.   As for invasions, I recall history lessons...  Charlemagne [France invades Russia].  Napoleon [France invades Russia].  UK tries to take Crimea (Crimean war). Hitler [Germany invades USSR (Russia)].  NATO (not one inch eastward) arms the entire central EU countries, invades and breaks up Yugoslavia, coerces Turkey to join, etc.  History would seem to show Russia has legitimate concerns about military attacks from the EU and south.  Or would you disagree?

He called for himself before one upping Biden.  He wanted to make sure where Putin understood where NATO stands.  He knew Biden could be trusted with an hour phone call .

Can you imagine Biden talking for one hour ?  It's a conversation , not a speech he reads off of a teleprompter.  He had to think.

Obviously  Bobo you arent smart enough to realize that Put_Put has gotten the US and France to agree on foreign Policy since 1956

Austin  and Milley.

Is that the best U.S. can do ?

Sec of State Austin is teaching the armed forces and Pentagon "Critical Race Theory" while he should have been planning the safe withdrawal of US troops and friends from Afghanistan.  Austin and Biden have blood on their hands.

The disaster in Kabul was originally Chump's deal lest you forget. Nowhere nearly as bad as weapons of mass destruction or leaving the exit to Tora Bora unguarded when Britain offered a battalion of the best mountain troops in the world.  The Gurkha  Rifles.

Two Democrats makes only 66 which is still less than 67. Most of the Democrat Senate seats up for election are in diehard blue states. There are no other possibilities. 

Two years later is the Presidential election. If the Democrats win the Presidency they certainly aren't losing two thirds of the Senate.

[Jeroen Goudswaard + 61]

Putin does not want Ukraine to be a NATO member and have nukes installed on its border. Think of the Cuba crisis Mk II. Putin will invade the country the moment the first inkling of a NATA membership becomes firm. He has said this many a time, and we now see that this is not just a threat but a real consequence. So why is this the time to really make a stand? Putin has the money (oil and gas prices through the roof) and Biden can't afford to look weak. Unless Biden backs down, we get war.

What can Europe do? At the moment, there is not enough natural gas without the Russians. The EU consumes 380 Bcm a year, The EU produces 47 Bcm itself, the rest is import from Russia, Norway and North Africa. Russia is by far the largest exporter, and it provides 38% of the gas (144 Bcm). 144 Bcm is about 700 Q-Max LNG tankers, or about 2 LNG tankers a day. Additional production from the pipeline exporters is even less likely. No ullage and/or no production capacity. That's the gap that needs to be filled if Putin would close off the pipelines. That's not realistic in the next 5-10 years, so Europe cannot do a thing, except for telling Biden to stop the unholy idea of pushing NATO into Ukraine.
