Pupin fatigue is becoming as real as BLM fatigue after watching a video of a Ukrainian girl trying to escape Putin's war only to have her throat cut by a violent black thug here in the US. You could not make this shit up for a horror movie. Sanction the shit out of both Russia , antifa terrorists, Black lives matter and punish every other communist,marxist & jihadist sympathiser that has destroyed our peace on earth. Russia , Iran and China must take great comfort in the fact that there are so many treacherous marxist and jihadist mobs marauding our countries they will not need to send armies to destroy us at this stage.

Problem with that is that they already applied all sanctions that disproportionately hurt Russia three years ago (as everyone knows, sanctions always hurt both sides). Sanctions that hurt both sides equally were applied two years ago, and now at round 20 only thing left to sanction are things that will hurt west more than Russia. But uneducated still call for more sanction as if it's some kind of magical weapon, and to keep the appearance of control and power politicians are now pushed to apply sanctions that hurt themselves more than Russia. We see that when USA overplayed its hand and threatened China with even more tariffs but instead China took a stance and indicated that a strong partnership with Russia is essential for their own national security and geopolitical strategy. Then USA applied tariffs to India, but instead it pushed India closer to Russia and China. Bottom line any additional sanctions now might have some short term effects and political gains, but long term they're counter productive and just strengthen China by pushing countries away from the "west" and to China's sphere of influence.

But honestly at this point I'm not sure what Trump prioritizes more, undermining left EU governments and bringing more "right" governments to power in the EU or not providing China with more discounts

Do the Russian people listen to the lamesteam media of the West? Or do they have a whole different kind of propaganda that they listen to? Seems that they are flocking to sign p to fight in the war. Would they do that if the listened to the Western lamestream media?

As Russia gradually takes over Ukraine, it seems that the Russian media might be right.

Cool
