20 years of sanctions on Russia and Vlad is doing pretty good.

plus oil price is going thru the roof, & china will buy. iran supports russia too, so they can manipulate oil prices together with venezuela. hmmm, i think vlad is telling the west to drill your own fucking oil.

Just went back and found the 12/31/2007 cover story in TIME, Person of the year Vlad Putin - very interesting reading...

I will go you one further… this war probably would not have happened under Trump, as he would have likely broken NATO up…. After all, they weren’t paying enough.

"Putin tried to warn Trump about this, but I don't think Trump figured out what he was saying," Hill said. "In one of the last meetings between Putin and Trump when I was there, Putin was making the point that: 'Well you know, Donald, we have these hypersonic missiles,' and Trump was saying, 'Well, we will get them, too.' Putin was saying, 'Well, yes, you will get them eventually, but we've got them first.'"
