Trump already exposed and proved our government is nothing more but a compromised den full of treacherous thieves, liars, and fanatical traitors. Military is proven to be the only way forward.

All of this is going to backfire spectacularly. Idiotic neocons sought to destroy Russia with over-the-top sanctions aimed at destroying the ruble and the Russian economy. Also to foment protests against and ousting of Putin by his own countrymen..

Instead the Russians are more united and supportive of Putin than ever. The ruble is doing better than it was before the war, and Russia has plenty of buyers of its resources. Russians have finally realized that the West hates them and is trying to destroy them, so they are done with trying to work things out with the US and Europe.

We are being run by an administration of neocons who are either 1) spectacularly incompetent; or 2) purposely trying to destroy our country. Take your pick. Either way, it will end up being our disaster, not Russia's.

A LOT of our aluminum comes from Russia.

Get ready for shortages of canned soda, canned pet food and aluminum pan & foil.

Manufacturers can't simply switch packaging within a weeks notice.

Biden also said the United States is banning Russian imports of goods such as seafood, vodka, and diamonds. It’s also banning the export of luxury goods into Russia and increasing the list of Russian individuals to be sanctioned.

I immediately thought of this:

Someone tell them Russia already did this.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

I believe in Rand Paul.

If he voted for it... I'll take his word for it.
