Nazis didn’t control any city in Ukraine.
They had a few thousand neo Nazis in the military which is really no different than the US military if we are being honest.
Russia’s Oil Revenue Soars Despite Sanctions, Study Finds (Published 2022)
Rising oil prices more than offset a decline in export volumes during the first 100 days of the assault on Ukraine.

18% inflation, a 10% drop in GDP, currency controls, and hundreds of billions of dollars in business departure is pretty bad.
The kicker is that’s just right now. 24 months from now things will be much worse and then at some point energy demand will subside and shit will really hit the fan there.

Anyone with a brain new there would be short term pain and demand. This sanctions on Russian energy were about decoupling Europe from Russia to break their dependence on them.
Russia essentially has no bargain chips now just like Trump always said Europe should do to Russia.
Well since before the war oil was 45% of Russian GDP so driving oil up should have been viewed as problematic.
We could have kept American oil in the market and drove down the price in order to hurt the invaders economic might of oil.
Additionally the Biden administration is quietly telling feed and seed suppliers to buy Russian fertilizers. Brilliant

American oil and natural gas are still in the market and it certainly wasn’t going to drive down the price either way.
I agree with you that any accurate assessment of the situation recognizes that increasing the price of energy helps Russia’s bottom line but you can’t begin to untangle the real problems without first beginning to decouple Europe from Russian energy.
Nobody is surprised there is still a demand for Russian fertilizer either. It will take time to move away from Russian products. These moves were about what things will look like 2-5 years from now. Suggesting they were about winning, or even truly affecting the war immediately, is just wildly obtuse. That being said some of the sanctions have had an immediate affect which is just icing on the cake. Russia on the verge of default and facing supply shortages in critical sectors can’t be overstated.

Of course. I too would love for everyone to buy American energy but there simply isn’t enough to go around.
Biden’s move to suspend leases on federal land via executive order is still one of the biggest PR blunders of his presidency and it’s getting worse by the day.
That being said he doesn’t control how much energy these companies take out of the ground.
As someone who owns Chevron and Exxon I’m quite content with them no longer flooding the market with product. It sucks for the average Americans but if they are smart with their money, work hard, and make wise investments then someday they can make a lot of money off of big oil too.

Who is sanctioning who? We took oil exports from India and shipped them to Europe. So India is buying up most of what russia lost to Europe.
All we are doing is crashing the western economy and making it easier for China and Russia to come out of the recession as the top tier trade partner for everyone not in the north America or Europe.
There it is. Pure proof that you are trolling. No real Trump supporter would pretend that the US has 1000's of nazis in our military. We might have 100 maybe. Most of the military polices it's own and those guys leave the military pretty quick.
Americans seeking citizenship in other countries has exploded too. If we are gonna predict crashes by rich people fleeing a sinking ship then you need to look here at home.The pain just keeps coming for Russia.

The western economy isn’t crashing. However the pain it’s experiencing is due the the rise in interest rates by The Federal Reserve.

That being said China and Russia were already top tier trade partners for all those other 2nd and 3rd world countries being that they sell cheap bullshit and energy respectively.
Do not google "fastest growing economies of 2022".... Don't do it. It will wreck your entire post and make you feel even more impotent. Sorry. Pain is coming and the less developed world is in a better place to withstand this recession as long as they can produce food and energy.

Seeking citizenship isn’t the same as leaving a country or renouncing citizenship but to your point America has been gaining more high wealth individuals than it’s been losing and not the other way around as you are suggesting.

@hmt5000 more than 1/3 of all service members report having seen something.
“Poll participants reported witnessing incidents including racist language and discriminatory attitudes from peers, but also more specific examples like swastikas being drawn on service members’ cars, tattoos affiliated with white supremacist groups, stickers supporting the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi-style salutes between individuals.”

What isn’t honest about acknowledging there are currently tens of thousands of Nazis and neo Nazis in the US military?
Of course the US government officially endorsed the Nazis and their involvement in top level US actions. The US government has just been doing it for longer than the Ukrainian government. Look no further than operation Paper Clip, the bomb and it’s later advancements, NASA, and many more.
