Biden's Wimpy Approach to Russia

 Putin is a self-proclaimed bully with a known agenda. He is intent on restoring the territory previously governed by the USSR and will do so when necessary with military force. He will push and push until he accomplishes his goal or is stopped. In any case he will have bullied his way into increasing Russia's hegemony. Actually, smelling America's leadership weakness (military as political) and lack of resolve emanating from woke stupidity, he has already done so with impunity.

Why Sanctions on Russia Will Not Work

 Geez, aren't we aware of Russia's history of peasant misery? The ruling elite, be they Tzars or "democratically" elected leaders have never hesitated to sacrifice Russian citizens to their and their friends and relatives advantage. The more the merrier. 

Because sanctions on any major country also affect the citizens of the countries levying the sanctions, the question becomes, who has the political will to hang on the longest? Citizens of communist countries, short of a national revolution, have no opportunity to voice their displeasure with their government. The governments of many member states of NATO, on the other hand, can be readily influenced by a dissatisfied citizenry. The United States under Biden, for example, has already experienced a record inflationary increase causing prices to soar. People are already unhappy. Biden warned that they will likely go higher should there not be a quick resolution to the Ukraine thing.

What do you think will happen?
