You mean with the sanctions?
yes. The media is like "OMG we are freezing their assets, taking their toys and putting on the fiercest sanctions in history".
First, Biden only put on sanctions after it started, despite also saying they know sanctions take months to be effective. So why did he push to filibuster them in early January as they were getting this intel, or throughout the entire build up.
Second, both France and Germany waited until the last minute to sanction them as well, only doing it cause we pressured them.
Bottom line is sanctions won't stop this inevitable outcome.
Meanwhile the headlines are "Wow, Russia says these sanctions are an act of war, blah blah"... meanwhile we are still buying their oil, in the dollar, and buying/investing in their assets, and also letting redistribution of wealth among their own country. These sanctions only hurt the normal civilian. Even if an oligarch loses a huge yacht, they are making more in oil, meanwhile buying up assets in their own country, along with banks internations banks also getting in on that actions. Meanwhile, they are all hedging the turbulant markets.
Again, the west said they are not getting involved, it is only a matter of time before this is over. The only people paying the price are Ukrainians and Russian civilians, along with the same serf/civilian class around the world, which is why they are saying this conflict is causing inflation around the world.
Meanwhile, all the the companies can make money off oil being $150 a barrel (not there yet but easily could get there), the military industrial complex going to build up in the after math of this, all the banks and financial institutions making. And after making money off the oil spike, the same people are then are going to say we need to give a bunch of tax payer money to build alternatives to oil.
Oh, speaking of oil, why is the same media trying to now pump of Liz Cheney as the next rival to Trump? Her and Hillary, as the Clintons role out their globali initiative again? It is because regardless of who wins, the Cheneys or Clintons, it is the same global, beuracratic establishment, in step with the oligarchs, who don't care if young russian soldiers or Ukrainian resistance die. They just hyping this up to be WW3, while further expanding the wealth gap and pushing people into not being able to buy houses, car, energy, groceries they want.
edit: and half the world (China, India, Iran, Pakistan, OPEC) already say the won't sanction Russia and will go ahead with business as usual.
Why?
Maybe better is to die with honor rather than slowly from starving as Kremlin's slaves?
Kremlin hoped that they will welcome russian military and hope on mercy from occupants.
Now best thing already is achieved: Russia had lost this game.
World will push Russia till state treasury default, very high unemployment %, most likely on food stamps.
Then Kremlin will have no escape: only to be appendix for China as cheap wood, oil and natural gas suppliers for prices dictated by China.
To make this happen faster, even China might implement sanctions on Russia and lift when Russia will agree with everything China will demand.
Putin and oligarchs anyway will not care: they does have gold, diamonds, mortgage, businesses and dollars. They will live with the same comfort level like nothing had happened.
except Russia is not going to default and none of that is going to happen. That is all wishful thinking at the expense of Ukranian and Russian serfs, who are just fodder to the globalist oligarchs that are currently investing in Russia, knowing this will not happen.
