He might not take well to the level of editorial redirection that is routinely practiced in those places.
Which is where we won. We’ve got a strangehold on the world’s economy via SWIFT, it’s how we can cripple russia in seconds after they cross the border into Ukraine.
They’ve been trying to get an alternative up, but that thing’s handling like literally a few tens of thousands of dollars in transactions, an absolute joke.
Or having to “balance” his articles on Ukraine with the Moscow point-of-view.
Yup. If we cut them off from SWIFT their oil trade is dead in the water. Biden basically told them yesterday that they will be cutoff from all Western banks if they set foot in Ukraine, at his press conference.
We should also cut all their links to the World Wide Web by laying siege to their fiber links. Isolate them COMPLETELY - the world can do just fine without them. The issue is that the Russians have nukes so the question is how dangerous will they become when their economy rapidly implodes.
Not gonna go nuclear. Russia’s got their big populations just crowded way to close together in too few places. Lose Moscow, it’s basically over for the country.
We can afford to lose D.C., NYC and a few others and still have a totally functional country, just a mess to clean up, but not existential.
Good points. They have vulnerabilities we don’t have. Our SSBN fleet remains our biggest threat, is essentially our final volley if everything else goes to Hell and would end their existence, and they know that.
Speaking of kookooranians, what’s going on with Lev and Igor?
What, is Josh caught up in this scandal, too?

Besides, it’s better to do a little creative government sponsored internet hacking and cripple their infrastructure than cause massive brick and mortar destruction and then have to feed them through a long cold winter.
Well, that’s the advantage of the nukes. Not so many mouths to feed.
I’m not saying we won’t get our hair mussed.
Not like most people would miss D.C. or Hell Angeles anyways.
This thread. Jesus.

Oligarch: “Sirs, might I exchange my rubles for Monopoly Money? I can launder it through a fellow in South Florida. All on the up and up.”
Maybe not, he hasn’t written a single article about Democrats in disarray or Biden’s approval ratings.
When you have a bunker as classy as this, why not use it once in a while?
(And yes, Virginia, that is a stripper poll!)
If this was a different kind of country, this despicable leech would be in a gulag at the bottom of a mine somewhere paying off the debt for multiple felonies.That we can only stand by and watch him make a mockery of the rule of law screams to the deficiencies of the tidily rigged game.
Sure…like it’s over…ghastly in it’s ever presence.
