Putin don't fear the sanction

[Champakian]

nor do the Xi or the Mullah or the Kim.

Come on baby, we can be like they are...


Who fears the sanction? Germany!

The only thing Biden knows how to do is shut off energy pipelines.



Who fears the sanction? The American Left.

It turns reasonable people into enemies.
It's something Trump would do to Xi.
Pooh-Bear is our friend
just like Red Bear...

Sanctions make the Mullahs wage Jihad.
Just send them cash on pallets.
Get them hooked.

Putin's played this game masterfully. He's got his bases all covered, diplomatically and economically. Ain't no one taking "Sleepy Joe" seriously.

The problem with autocrats is that they are fine with screwing their own people in order to sidestep sanctions.

The other option is war.

Biden is the pigeon.

Even worse, a senile pigeon.

Almost to the point of Passenger Pigeon...

How stupid are the folks he's surrounded by? I guess we're going to find out.

First hint: Kamala Harris

 

[bellisarius]

No one's listening to her either.

The administration has been end played to the point where the only thing they can do is escalate the situation into a major war by committing troops to "protect the sovereign borders of the Ukraine." Is he going to throw one of his little dementia temper tantrums and do that?

 

[Champakian]

Well, we have a lot of evidence, overwhelming even,
that, like Putin, he thinks he's a tough guy.

How many times has he pulled that schtick
about taking someone out into the schoolyard
and issuing them a beating or bloody nose?

A senile old tough guy who thinks he's Chuck Norris.
Ridiculousness (MTV) plays clips of guys like that.

It ain't pretty...

 

[bellisarius]

Or his handlers think that a 'righteous' war is just the thing to take the nations mind off the domestic problems he's doing nothing about.

You know, he wouldn't be the first leader to employ that tactic.

Usually they're more of a totalitarian nature.

You know, like the Left always assured us
that Trump was and he was going to
get us into war (instead of out of it).

Maybe stinging from his fiasco in Afghanistan,
he sees an opportunity to redeem himself
as a war-time President.



Instead of just being Present with no ID-uh...

 

[bellisarius]

I hope not.

Play it like a proxy war and make as costly for the Russians as possible. The more costly it is the more slippery Putin's grasp on power becomes.

 

[Champakian]

Let's hope he is not surrounded by a McNamara Cabinet.


Arms not advisors...

 

[Champakian]

Scary thought: A McNamara Robinette...

 

[bellisarius]

Just another failure in the offing. Wait until next year when Iran tests its first nuclear bomb.

 

[Champakian]

October Surprise?

 

[bellisarius]

October Surprise?

For someone.

*sniff sniff* I love the smell of BDS in the morning!

 

[Champakian]

Such pithy commentary.

 

[bellisarius]

Such pithy commentary.

No surprise there.

 

[Champakian]

I understand why he doesn't want to defend Biden or the sanction threat...

 

[bellisarius]

There is nothing there to defend.

This would have been a great chance to praise the President,
but maybe the embarrassment is just too great...

It's like they're rooting for the 2017 Cleveland Browns and blaming the other teams.

"It's the other teams fault the Browns are losing!"

"Why's that?"

"Well, they're winning. It's just not fair."

Quite a bit of RWCJ angst in this thread today.

Okay, that's funny. It's the grain of truth thing.
