Western sanctions against Russia have been used primarily to obfuscate the cause of western inflation and keep the citizen pitchforks from reaching various government offices. So far, the strategy -assisted by western media- has been mostly successful.
However, the International Energy Agency (IEA) is reporting that despite the western sanctions against Russia, the Russian energy sector is having no trouble finding customers for its oil sales. With global oil prices at their highest rates in years, in part driven by the energy policy of the same western leaders who triggered the sanctions, Russia is getting just as much economic benefit as it was before the sanctions regime was triggered.
(EU FINANCE) – Russia continued to rake in oil revenues in May despite a global boycott from companies and most countries following its invasion of Ukraine, a new report has shown.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) said the Kremlin’s oil-export revenues surged to around $20bn last month, an 11% increase from the month before, despite shipping lower volumes.
Its latest monthly report, published on Wednesday, said this takes Moscow’s total revenue for shipping oil and crude products roughly back to levels before the invasion of Ukraine. Russian exports fell by about 3% due to lower oil-product flows, the Paris-based agency estimates.
Meanwhile, crude shipped during the month grew by nearly 500,000 barrels a day compared to the start of the year, largely thanks to higher deliveries in Asia.
“China and India, which have both sharply increased crude oil purchases from Russia, are net product exporters and have no need to lift Russian products,” it said. (read more)
Biden – the dumbest President in American history.
He’s got a vice president who will carry that crown if anything happens to him.
….they are Communists so more dangerous than just DUMB.
I do not think that Biden, or Harris even, is an ideological communist. I think they are just narcissists, certainly with many years of habituating their psychopathic tactics. They are really just criminals opportunistically advancing their power and status in every way their not-so-intelligent minds can detect. There are evidently planners of greater capacities manipulating them. I do agree they have steeped themselves in the grievance narratives that justify so much of our immoral politicians’ passive aggression. They know they are vermin, but we deserve it, so it’s ok.
However, like communism, this anti-human path to despotism is arbitrary and vicious to human life and thriving. These demons seek (apparently) only unrestricted domination and the opportunity to punish ordinary Americans who they despise because we do not exhibit their neurotic infirmities. They will develop a cruel perverse psychology later, after they viciously turn on one another and a survivor emerges. He will be sort of demigod-ish likely, and behave like Uday and Kusay. If it gets this far, God forfend, the African Americans and the other utilitarian pets of the conquerors are in for a surprise. This trend has really ugly potentials, and I fear the sheeple are paralyzed and manipulable.
Which followed being the dumbest man in the Senate
True, but he’s not running this shit show.
@LeeSmithDC joins Lou on #TheGreatAmericaShow. He says Obama has voluntarily told people that he’s running the show behind the scenes. Lee says Obama is only the second president to stay in D.C. after finishing his term. Join us today at t.co/xDV7kvm1In! t.co/uhUEXWdVpF
Joe Biden is a disposable front-man for the Obama group organizing any objective. He was installed as a disposable figurehead so they don’t have to worry about political damage. The Biden term was designed for a single set of four-year rapid advancements for the Democrat Socialist agenda. The Biden poll ratings and favorability, or lack therein, do not factor into the plan of action; those issues are irrelevant.
~Sundance
Bingo. Push the most detestable policies through the most self-serving man who will say anything to get in the limelight. Then, as you noted, his team will dispatch with him. Can they do it and wash themselves of the stench of all this, then go back to covert operations? I don’t think so.
I think that Biden is eminently disposable. This may be why the laptop is kept refreshed as a topic. If they pull the plug who will complain?
“You don’t HAVE to do this, Joe.”

Probably 80% of the GOP senators support these idiotic sanctions. And at least half of the GOP house members do.
The senators likely think it is popular to appear to “stick it to Putin”.
Goofy.
they really did it stick to US consumers-idiots…
They are getting kick backs on the $$ sent to Ukraine. That’s the only reason they care about that country.
It should not be a surprise.
They supported Obama’s agenda and gave him more money than he requested.
So, they are now supporting his third term.
Russian budget is based on $45/barrel ..currently crude oil is $116/barrel …Russia make lots of $$$$$$.. even if they sell to several friendly nations with 30% discount-India/china/hungary….yes we got lots of dumb Senators…
They may be still playing “superpower” at the expense of others. We have a whole class of demented Victoria Nulands, Jamie Gorelicks, and John Brennans, all wannabe Kissingers or Frederick the Great. Empire builders and trying to get in the history books as significant persons. They seem to especially like authorizing the wetwork. A perverse thrill to this type of psychopath.
These monsters are building up one hell of a negative karmic debt if the US falls that we schmoes will have to pay, a prospect that makes me shudder. After Obama’s indiscriminate droning of wedding parties all over the globe, and the collaboration to invent and release the chimeric virus on the unsuspecting world, then the pox of “cure,” and suppression of actual treatments, I hate to think how deeply and justifiably the rest of the planet hates our benighted country. So tragic.
Ron Klain is the dumbest president in American history.
HAHAH!! Maybe he’s the buffer to hide Obama. Klein is certainly big enough.
Lol!
There’s a Monty Python animated sketch along the lines of this theme. . .
Scene:
God grabs a cut-out likeness of FBJ by his collar and whisks him away from a crowd of adolescent girls whose little nipples he’s tweaking and hair he’s sniffing, and then drop-kicks him straight to hell into a fiery cauldron and cesspool of flaming swamp-stench already occupied by FBHO, FHC, FBC, FNP, FCS, FMM, FKM and the rest of their like-minded ilk who are all howling in agony and suffering terribly.
LOL!!
Very True , but , Unfortunately , it doesn’t matter one damn bit how dumb he is , because , as President Trump said, Biden is “ PINO” ( President in Name Only ) and the invisible / unaccountable cabal behind the curtain that is pulling the strings and enjoying free rein is purposely following a destructive agenda.
Unfortunately, that does not make the rest of us look too smart.
He’s not the duly elected president. He’s the installed occupant.
He and his odious family are squatters.
And yet, he’s still somehow smarter than his VP. God help us.
Biden is just a front man. Obama is the president. Continuing his idiotic policies deployed during his administration.
Putin is celebrating Pride Month by virtually sodomizing Dopey Joe on the world stage.
That’s Bronco Bama’s job. Putin likes real women.
Da!
Indeed – former Olympic gymnast Alina Kabaeva:
Putin won this weeks ago. Zelenskyy and his endless supply of t shirts is crying for more weapons to take on the Russians in the east. But our state department is willing to fight to the last Ukrainian so I’m sure he ll get more treats courtesy if the US taxpayrer. This would end tomorrow if the state department allowed it but of course that won’t happen because magical Putin is causing all our economic woes.
Our poor excuses in the media haven’t caught up yet. They obviously believe what they’ve been spoon fed by the Military Industrial Complex.
Hint: they are the MIC. Just like they are pf=izer, or whomever pays their lavish expenses.
Putin, taking care of business and cleaning up his backyard.
FJB sanctions against USA !
F-JB and Trump won
EVERYBODY knows
If FJB was not working for Xi and Putin
as a virtual installed agent, what would he do differently ?
If FJB was NOT a traitor, what would he do differently !?

Must we continue to refer to FBO as FJB.
There is no Biden Administration so why let the cabal have their cake and eat it too?
I will never refer to covid as a pandemic either.

Afghanistan withdrawal tailor made for Chinese owners. Imposed mandates on military personnel, indistinguishable from a gas attack on our soldiers, sailors and airmen. China obviously has cratered our defense capability. Now they are annihilating our economy, destroying the people’s support for government, and sowing millions of disloyal foreigners in our midst. Then there is drugs and gender confusion. Take a guess who is orchestrating the J6 committee too. None of these things make us better able to resist China’s aggression. It would be interesting to see what deals are being made by our former allies in apprehension of the new world order.
Question: who was instrumental in beating Trump and installing houseplant in the WH? How many of our “representatives” knew and assisted and are now permanently compromised? on What front are we holding our own with China? Who does Lloyd Austin actually work for? Is he anywhere near as hostile to PLA as he is to..let’s say, the USMC?
This energy disaster was never about Russia. The puppet masters behind the Demented Fraud might as well write Putin checks as beneficial as their destructive energy policies are for him
There is a long-time talking point that goes, “Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country.”
Apparently our genius leaders in DC don’t understand that a commodities based economy may be able to stand up to a castle of financialized fluff.
Kamala’s word for today is “fungible”.
Did she ask if there is a vaccine for that?

Maybe Putin will become our Department of Energy Secretary. The one we have now is probably more anti-American.
Russia continued to rake in oil revenues in May despite a global boycott from companies and most countries following its invasion of Ukraine, a new report has shown.
Global boycott, hahaha! Those sneaky Russians. Or, perhaps like the Russiagate lies, the boycott is a pack of lies too. And, oil prices are up, up, up.
Just look at the wording; “,…despite MOST countries,..”
Yeah, neglected to mention little countries like China and India,…together contain what 75 percent of the population.
Same two countries that aren’t going along with the climate change nonsense.
Hey, WEF! How do you figure you are going to establish a One World Government, when China, India and Russia aren’t having it?
Insane Idiots In Charge, they aren’t “figuring”, they are fantasising, with hallucinations.
Im surprised at how many here think Russia is in a real war with Ukraine
fyi, covid was never a real pandemic either and it wont be the next time they try to force you to accept it.
How is the war fake? I see countless dead Ukrainian soldiers, blown up tanks, and missile strikes on Russian Telegram channels. Is it all advanced CGI? The Western propaganda about Ukraine winning and Russia’s economy collapsing is certainly fake but there is still a war.
cmon man. You think Ukraine is holding back the Russians or something? lol
Please take a close look at zelenskys face when he poses with Pelosi and Uniparty members again.
But you know what? If “Putins War” keeps COVID from becoming a pandemic again, Im all for it.
True, Joey, but we must remember it was FJB who goaded Putin into attacking Ukraine and it is FJB who is sending billions to a lost cause in Ukraine.
You think the sly and clever FJB tricked Putin into doing something?
lol
No, it was Victoria Nuland, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, etc. The same neocons who orchestrated the disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan. Joe Biden was just on board so that he could launder money to his son. Putin warned the West for 20 years. He had enough. He’s currently making the State Department look like a bunch of incompetents. I believe they thought they were being clever but neocon foreign policy uses Machiavellian tactics based on idiotic presumptions.
“He’s currently making the State dept look like a bunch of incompetents,..”
Which is hardly a magic trick, they ARE a bunch of incompetents, and have been for years!
“and for my NEXT trick, I will make Biden look like a doddering old creep!”
It is no great feat to make incompetents look like incompetents.
There was a time , MP, when I’d have thought your last three posts were the rantings of a madman. Now I have to take pause. It could be true. Not saying it is, and I can’t know at this point, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility in this world we now inhabit. It is truly constant informational chaos, designed to keep us off balance and afraid.
Not afraid here. Beach ⛱️ day everyday!! No tv. Since 2005.
…wrong..russians did find documents…ukr. planned invasion in first week of March……
Russia was most certainly poked and prodded into the war. It’s a very easy to imagine the US’s response if China or Russia had armed/trained anti-American militants with heavy weaponry in Mexico. We would bomb Mexico back into the Stone Age. We would be far more belligerent than the Russians are to Ukraine.
Why would they bother to bomb Mexico when they can let them invade through the Southern border instead?
Oh, you mean if we had a real President?
They tolerate the invasion from Mexico because it’s abundant cheap labor for big business and a lower IQ populace they believe they can manipulate easier. The neocons in the State Department would lose their minds if China or Russia made Mexico into a vassal state.
Way past the abundant cheap labor stage but not so sure for how long if the cheap labor cant even afford to drive to work anymore. Replacing the real American populace is name of the game now.
I believe China and Russia know we have a fake administration in charge. They (foreign enemies) probably even coordinated with the domestic enemies to make that possible in 2020. I believe the fake administration is working with foreign leaders to some degree for the sake of transforming our country in order to achieve a globalist governing body. That means America needs to be reduced to a level playing field with everyone else. If Putin and Xi benefit from it, they wont refuse Obamas offer to be a part of that transformation.
Lower IQ Mexicans?? Lol…you voted in a incompetent dunce as a fake president! Look in the mirror before you throw Piedras. Uuuffff
Biden was not voted into office.
It was the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on America.
Yes just got the most ballots. Not from voters, just adjudicated, votes switched.
With all the alleged votes why is there so little support for the Resident in office.
This is what our elites believe. It’s not just Mexicans. Mexico is just the corridor. And I did not vote for the dunce.
Russian troops are in or arriving soon in Nicaragua.
Chinese troops have trained with Canadian troops in Canada.
And Hunter got use of billions from China as a bribe to FJB.
True, but just padding his own wallet.
FJB reads the words from prepared speeches and signs the papers put in front of him, nothing more.
FJB lives in an alternate reality created for him by his “Handlers”.
We see FJB talking, signing and taking the heat. That is the extent of his worth.
I take it you haven’t seen this?

Well it’s not a beach on a coastline. River bank beaches work, especially in war torn Ukraine. It gets hot, people have to cool off somehow.
“Russia is getting just as much economic benefit as it was before the sanctions regime was triggered.”
Seems like Joetato knew this report was coming, so they tried getting ahead of it with their “underestimated the impact of Russian sanctions” smoke they were blowing yesterday.
If only those clowns were smacked in the face with the boomerang he threw, yet we all take the beating.
It’s been pretty clear for several weeks. The most notable example has been the Russian steps to keep the ruble from growing too strong too fast.
Western governments are beginning to realize the whole Ukrainian fiasco is in danger of sudden collapse. That is why the Western propaganda machine is starting allow bits of reality to creep into its messaging.
When global famine hits, Russia will be one of the few countries with the farm commodities and fertilizer in the quantities needed to be meaningful.
Just like oil and gas, whoever has them will be the ones who set the price and the currency of exchange.
None of this had to happen. No NATO expansionism into Ukraine, no war. The whole Ukraine war rests on the global domination goals of the WEF and its proxies (ie, the global leftists who run virtually every western country and all their NGOs).
There are no “good guys” in the Ukraine war. No. Not Russia and Ukraine. I mean the west including the US.
Hey schwab! gates! Ya hear that? That’s the world laughing at ya!
World Conquerors indeed!
They don’t want to conquer the world. They want to break the West down and rebuild it into their green utopia technocracy.
Success or failure in Ukraine is irrelevant to them.
The war in Ukraine is the “means” by which TPTB are hiding what is actually going on while they finance and set up the next con.
They don’t want our respect. They want us gone. We are the cancer that is threatening Gaia.
The carbon they are doing their best to reduce.
as predicted this will make it even more difficult (impossible?) for US domestic Energy to recover.
it’s the same effect (but for different reasons) that happen when russia and SA flooded the markets with cheap highly available oil and gas.
in a global market, the US domestic producers NOW have the triple whammy:
the oil economy is in free fall.
prepare yourself for the most dangerous moment in US history since ww2.
We are going to war. Let there be zero doubts…all the signs are there…
and we have a madman in the whitehouse and apparently no one and I mean no one is willing to step in and end his reign of terror.
Prepare now…stock up…and start organizing if you have not done so already.
it’s going to be a very difficult next ten years, minimum.
this isn’t the worst that things will be. it is going to get much much worse.
no one will be spared this consequences of this idiot squatter in the white house.
I give it one year before a military led coup happens. I believe this will happen and I think it will be successful.
there are certain things of a national security level that just cannot be acceptable.
the red line is near.
Prepare now.

I think the division in the new global alignment can be fairly characterized as the sane and the suicidal.
Just to put some numbers to JoeBama’s and media claims to illustrate the scale of this lie.
With respect to the US … a $25.3 TRILLION Dollar Economy in 2019.
The US Imported about $24 BILLION Dollars worth of stuff from Russia, which represents < 1% of US Imports for 2019.
So, JoeBama’s folks are claiming that less than 1% of imports wrecked a $25.3 TRILLION Dollar Economy, over a 2 year period.
None of it makes sense. I know there’s some lag in getting stuff fired back up after the ridiculous closing of economies, but it’s almost as it was self-inflicted by companies claiming production woes, then raising prices and collecting the excess stimulus money circulating. While this is going on, govt policies caused an energy crisis.
The Ford CEO said they’re in a better position with this recession because of their current low inventory levels. Makes you wonder if they (business leaders) all knew a recession was coming due to JoeBama policies and kept production low waiting for this moment.
When it come to sanctions and the economy that Joe Biden is one fart smeller.
I stand with Ukraine. (Holding an empty gas can).
I am so proud of Joe Biden! What an absolute gem of a leader he has turned out to be! 81 million Americans were correct. Such a prescient man, he knew how much the US would benefit from the Green New Deal of our Globalist betters. Hoorah! Joe Biden, hoorah!

This is falling into the category of masks work.
DOD admitted it had 46 Bio-weapon labs in Ukraine. Putin shut at least some down and presented evidence to the UN. Both US + UN said ” conspiracy theory ” nothing to see here …. ( US is after all the biggest UN funder ). So now it will be interesting to see what Putin does next with the ” Evidence “.
Take it to the World Court ?
If / when he does those new longer range missiles sent to Ukraine may start falling on Russian soil …..

Russia was well prepared after the 2014 sanctions. They realized what they would have to do and were ready. But Russia’s low debt to GDP ratio, their economy based on commodities, and their productive capacity was so different from the economy of the West that I don’t think the US was fully aware how Russia would be able to spring back from sanctions.
I am laughing at the mess over the Gazprom repairs. Gazprom has had to cut gas supplies because of some equipment that was being repaired by the German company Siemans. Siemans sent the equipment to Canada to be repaired, but can’t ship it out of Canada because of sanctions.
So, it is told today that Canada and Germany are negotiating how to circumvent their own sanctions so the equipment can get back to Gazprom, so the Germans don’t freeze this winter and German industry doesn’t collapse because of a lack of natural gas.
Germany is not bought into these sanctions. Supposedly they are doing it because ‘democracy’ but Germany is an authoritarian state. So is Canada.
Nothing like build anywhere, assemble anywhere, test anywhere and repair where there are educated workers. What could possibly go wrong/s.
Europe’s self appointed elites must be sweating blood right about now. Suicide by sanction is very messy…and “Winter is coming.”
Well things could be about to change .
The EU hates Israel but are about to become good buddies. They will be buying Israeli gas via Egypt or directly, when the infrastructure is set up.
Russia already not happy with Israel, isn’t leaving Syria in fact won’t repair the Damascus radar unless Assad hands over control of the airport.
The war of Ezekiel 38&39 describes a war where Russia, Turkey ,and Iran join up, and others will invade Israel for the spoils of war.
Interesting that the US has become weak in its support of Israel and can’t help The EU with gas for next winter.
God has a plan, its all coming together. We’re part of it but no heroes are we.
That war will be led by the Antichrist. Who comes out of Europe and Israel will think he is their long awaited messiah. But his doom is sure.
This hot mess is out of our hands.
Best we trust Him who has all authority in heaven AND in earth. He’s got this.
Putin is playing 3d chess. JoeBama and his over educated Marxist administration is playing with agenda given cards that allow one thing. Green new deal eliminating fossil fuels. Putin is laughing all the way to the bank. FJB
Notice how media hysteria and coverage of this war has tailed off markedly since Biden got his $40 Billion spending request through Congress.
Wait a minute, the Legacy media said a month ago that Putin was going to be taken out by the Russia citizens. I even seen them singing at a stadium, the the US journalist said that was a sign of regime change. What happened there?
Check out The Saker for an accurate report. The lugenpresse here is telling fairy stories.
The Daily Mail UK has reported endlessly of all his deadly diseases… from a deadly hang nail to Parkinson’s to every type of cancer known to man and a few more that haven’t been discovered.
Honestly, they truly beclown themselves.
his VVP approval rating is is over 80%….how is JB ?????
This idiotic war has cost the US a lot of prestige. The US is effectively semi isolated with most of the world dealing with Russia & China. The US foreign policy elite and military are incapable of winning anything international. They are just totally dumb and believe their own propaganda.. The only thing they can win is a domestic election when they steal it.
It will be a total humiliation & loss of face and prestige for the US when Putin declares victory and annexes more than what he initially wanted which was the Crimea and Donbas. Now he will probably take the whole Azov coast to Kherson and probably keep snake island and make it a Chinese style fortified island to keep a stranglehold on Odessa and provide an easier link to the Transnitran Russian rebels. He will probably annex 25% of the country including most of its heavy industry, most of its oil, gas and coal reducing Ukraine to a farming country with one port.
It is so sad and depressing to watch. Lots of Ukrainians needlessly dying on a lost cause that could never be won.
Putin did it!
It takes very little insight to see that Obama is running the government.
Obama’s primary purpose was to set up a shadow government he had 8 years to succeed.
Trump’s adversary during his fours years was Obama’s illegal shadow government running in the background.
I didn’t know all this at the time but certainly Trump should have known.

For those voted for this, you’re getting everything you deserve and I hope you enjoy it.
Some people were never meant to be born.
I fail to see USA logic………. This month was almost exactly DOUBLE the imports from Russia as this time last year……..
If it is a green issue …..and if your position is oil pollutes….. I am surmising that Biden believes that Russian oil does not pollute…but American oil does………. Go figure!
The guy has shot himself in the foot….the other foot…both arms and the head…….
That probably hurt his feet and arms, but no noticeable affect to his head since it is empty.
don’cha know? the windmills, the solar panels – that’s what will save America
No, they won’t, but the DC politicians have invested their own money into these companies, and so they will try and make it so!
Although Russia’s current output hasn’t suffered from the sanctions, the aging oilfields will need progressively more technical support–Haliburton and Schlumberger–which may be gone for the foreseeable future. Add in the abysmal demographics and there’s not a pretty future there either.
Am most of the way through Peter Zeihan’s just-released book “The End of the World Is Just the Beginning”. Highly recommend.
Excellent point. Not many understand what a crucial role Schlumberger plays in oil drilling. I do not like monopolies but unless we can scale this expertise, we’d better protect it.
Zeihan is a Trump hating clown. He is also another deluded lefty on Ukraine and he believes somehow the Russians are really losing. I hope you didn’t pay money for his book
This will just make Joe angrier. He’s going to start shouting that it’s the American public’s fault the sanctions enriched Russia.
Freeport LNG had an explosion. Freeport exports to Europe, so losses would benefit Russia (Freeport claims no losses, tho). Who knows what to believe anymore.
Now Freeport says will resume operations late 2022 due to accident:
https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2022/06/14/freeport-lng-not-to-resume-full-operations-until-late-2022-after-fire-at-facility-company-says/
Company officials said a completion of all necessary repairs and a return to full plant operations is not expected until late 2022. Given the relatively contained area of the facility physically impacted by the incident, a resumption of partial operations is targeted to be achieved in approximately 90 days, once the safety and security of doing so can be assured, and all regulatory clearances are obtained.
Regulatory clearances. So…sometime in 2025 then.
It’s almost as if some sympathetic Russians are running around blowing and burning things up.
Alas, the FBI might catch them at half past never.
Quite a testament to the left knowing they could be competing against those sympathetic Russians at destroying America.
I’m sure that Freeport is hating it as EU natural gas prices have hit over $1300 per thousand cubic meters. Lotsa profits wasting.
Mostly behind a paywall but you can feel the panic now….

Joe’s own party is distancing themselves before the midterms.
Then attention will turn to Big Tech’s (likely regretted) pick Kamala.
So my question is: Who does Xi have lined up after or in lieu Harris? Perhaps an enemy posing as a Republican (to ride the red wave)?
It was always about sanctioning us.
Obama was the greatest funder of international terrorism (with our pallets of tax dollars) during his reign, and Biden will make Putin — purportedly the richest thief in the world — a whole new fortune.
I mean NOBODY, absolutely nobody, could have seen any of this coming ….
Surprise, surprise … it’s a big world out there and with that moronic boob at 1600 PA Ave cutting our throats by destroying U.S. oil & gas production, we can no longer export what used to be excess production … now we can’t even import enough and Russia’s taking care of the rest of the world’s demands … Russia’s becoming more Capitalist than Biden’s fascist America …
FJB, the entire DNC, and most of the GOP. They hate us.
Destroy Russia by increasing world oil and natural gas supply.
It’s that simple.
Russia-1, Globalists, Deep Staters, Puppet Masters- 0
It’s like Monty Python but real.
Notice the value of the ruble is up.
Hopefully the Hochdeutsch get humiliated – The fiasco with the sanctions involving Siemens gas compressors is a great start.
Biden Stares Blankly at Reporter Asking Why He Hasn’t Sanctioned Russian Oligarch Who Wired Hunter Biden Millions of Dollars (VIDEO)

Never thought I would live to see the day where I would be comfortable with a foreign power meddling in our affairs. Russia and China are not directly anymore IMHO. I suspect both are hoping we get rowdy at some point. We cannot until it’s clear in our gut the time has arrived. Heard on the Duran the Chinese especially disliked DT but they understood his position and respected it to a degree. The good folks on The Duran (Gonzalo, Alex, Alexander) agreed they absolutely loathe the power structure in place now.

Of course, most of the cheating came from the mules (2k Mules by Dinesh).
So what do I mean by meddling? If Ivan invades this place in name of Christ and campaigning for Patriot Americans to join them I’m cool. I seriously doubt that would ever happen BTW but it is something we should give some minor attention to now. How would you feel and would you be ready to join their cause?

Nope. American consumers buying Chinese products made to order by US Corporations are empowering the Chinese.
