The Drag Queen Empire really was surprised Pikachu when a country decided to stand up against it, rather than obeying its every whim.

India is now Russia’s best customer. Companies there, under government orders, went from near-zero Russian oil imports to almost a million barrels a day within weeks of the Ukraine invasion.

LOL!

Winter will test the resolve of Moscow and its adversaries. On Dec. 5, the EU is due to phase in an embargo on Russian oil and a potentially punishing ban on insuring and financing Russian oil cargoes. If enforced, which some traders and analysts doubt, the measures would significantly escalate efforts to handicap Russia’s economy.

What better time to phase in a ban on oil than winter? Of course, the EU doesn't care if we, its serfs, die - unless such discontent is created to lead to the overthrow of the regime.

“Vladimir Putin has put mutually assured destruction on the table,” said Helima Croft, head of commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets.

One may not like Putin, but it's damn near impossible not to respect the hell out of him.

Yeah I definitely dislike Putin but I do respect his backbone.

Also it's still hilarious that he used to be worshipped on the internet but now he's literally Hitler 3.0 because of the bogus pee tapes and ramping up the war with his fellow corrupt eastern oligarchs next door.

Not a fan of Putin, but I'd take him over Ukraine at this point, with all the bullshit they've pulled.

Yeah...almost exclusively its adversaries.

It hurts itself in its confusion.

The West played itself, and they look like fools.

I’m hopeful but not optimistic that anyone in the West learned their lesson though. The hubris of these globalist authoritarians is unmatched and the sheep who follow them are incapable of connecting their actions to the consequences that follow them, so they rarely ever learn from their mistakes.

What we’re seeing right now is the limitations of western “soft” power.

"Neo-Liberals confounded because their enemies aren't retarded."

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

If our enemies weren't this stupid, we'd all be dead.

There's got to be a natural balancing element. Denial of reality makes a regime dangerous and hateful but also blundering and stupid.

There was zero chance that Putin wasn't going to do whatever the fuck he wanted after Pedo and Creep bungled the rush job to flee afghanistan.
