And what is sad is that Putin is right: Biden is weak. Strong condemnation, sanctions against people around Putin, but no sanctions against the Putin himself, no embargo on gas and oil, no freeze of banking operations (not even SWIFT), and no troops on not yet occupied party of Ukraine. It would be very easy to put troops in and around Kiev and I am sure Russians will not go as far as killing U.S. soldiers. But what you can expect from the man who capitulated to Taliban.
Putin's tax return shows that he declared 12 rubles of income. Got a refund of 22 zillion rubles which he placed tax free in his oligarch cronies TFSAs.
NS2 is dead. Thus a $7billion capital cost pipeline to and decades of revenue flushed into the Baltic Sea.
Largest Russian Bank and many of the other large banks have been frozen out of capital markets.
Booting Russia off of SWIFT was not fully endorsed by all NATO countries. That being France and Germany as they calculated the harm it would cause their economies did not warrant the benefit it would provide in sanctioning Russia at this time. Plus just the Russian bank's freezing out of capital markets would do just as much damage to the Russian economic and financial markets as witnessed in the 33% crash of Russian equity markets.
In addition to the dozens of Putin oligarch cronies and their families, who have looted and pillaged the Russian people, that have already been sanctioned by EU countries, Canada, Japan, Australia and the USA, the BIden administration is finalizing sanctions on another 5 or 6 dozen more. This is important because as noted above Putin himself only earns 12 rubles a year and almost the entirety of his gazillion billion $ theft of the Russian people is held in TFSA of his oligarch cronies accounts.
So you see 'fall', you fail.
What is sad is that you have bought into Putin and his supporters and enablers machinations.
What the world has evidenced is that Putin is not crazy, he is SICK
