Well, we all know how well that works! And now we're sanctioning Putin's daughters and the wife of his foreign minister. What does that mean? They can't run off to Paris to do their shopping? Please!
Financially, the Ruble is almost as strong as it was prior to the beginning of the sanctions. Why? Because the world is still buying Russian oil. Why? Because we can't supply it because we're so obsessed with going green we won't lift the sanctions on our own production to make up the slack. Please!
Okay, I understand the politics of it - to an extent. Biden is afraid of the far left and they are the green weenies. Therefore he won't lift the sanctions on domestic production. He's apparently also afraid of Putin. I've asked before, why? Putin's military is severely weakened and he really doesn't want a nuclear confrontation any more than anyone else because he, too, will be destroyed. I've harped on this before, I know.
Yesterday I watched with a mix of sadness and horror at a lost old man wandering around a reception room at the White House after remarks by himself and former President Obama. He was totally ignored while the attendees swarmed around Obama. Even he ignored Biden. This old man, lost and alone, is our President. Talk about sadness and horror.
It just irritates me that all these suits, his minions, sit around talking while people are dying. From my perspective, and it's a pessimistic one to be sure, there will be no World War 3 because the suits will just roll over. They wouldn't want to make Putin mad. Putin is one man! How can the whole world be so afraid of him that no one will stand up to him?
Let's face it. What wins wars? Superior weaponry or at least an even playing field and the will to win. And maybe, just maybe, being on the right side of the fight. In the case of Ukraine, which side are we on?
