Before you know it Putin will be accusing us of preparing for a thermonuclear first strike against Russia to wipe them off the face of the earth adding slyly at the end “what is the use of a world existing without a Russia?”
Holy flying fsck. I’m old enough to remember when the GQP used to claim that Biden was senile. THis is just hard to watch. I mean, I dislike the Orange Shit-Stain about as much as anyone, but damn… it’s embarrassing.
Anyone still think the oligarchs are going to depose. Putin? Tomorrow the Russian government meets to discuss nationalizing all the infrastructure belonging to those companies that have withdrawn from Russia. If people want to work there, we’ll be re- opening soon.
And who might you imagine will be given a chance to bid on all those businesses - all of Putin’s criminal oligarchs. Of course Putin will require a fee of let’s guess 30% as a brokers fee (?).
As far as supply, I’m sure the Chinese can provide knockoffs of ANY product that was being sold in Russia.
Oh boy!
That move — accusing an enemy of an act that you are about to or have committed — is a familiar tactic from Putin. In 2017, Putin himself remarked that the “U.S. has always interfered in Russia’s elections.”
That’s interesting - haven’t seen the guy lose an election yet, so I wonder how that’s working.
What I find most remarkable about this stuff is his (unwitting, I’m sure) attempt to retrofit people’s memories:
“As we gather together for Thanksgiving, you know, some people want to change the name Thanksgiving. They don’t want to use the term Thanksgiving. And that was true also with Christmas. But now everybody’s using Christmas again. Remember this?”
