With FIFA, it’s better late than their usual “never” when it comes to accomodating corrupt dictators.
This moron.
Boebert’s show of admiration for a democratically elected liberal Jewish leader like Zelensky would be more convincing if she hadn’t sided with the literal Nazis who organised the Canadian convoy.
We can send troops and a combined fleet from all Latin America.
Can we start calling the currency “Russian Rubble”?
Putin’s claim that he is invading to “de-Nazify Ukraine”
Typo, obviously. He meant re-Nazify.
If that was the real reason, He would have to invade many countries in Europe.
And your point is? 
(Yeah - but don’t think he doesn’t want to. Most of Eastern Europe, in fact.)
People probably should have listened to Laibach back in 2015…
Sure, because the Nazis would never invade countries that spoke the same language they did with the excuse of liberation
Putin’s already raised interest rates to 20%, which means that as increasingly worthless as rubles are to the average Russian he’s also calling more of them back into the treasury. Put another way, thanks to his war the ruble is going to be garbage in terms of purchasing power but he also will want Russians to hold less of them so he can put the garbage toward building more weapons. If this goes on long enough he’ll also start issuing war bonds and raising taxes.
His vision of “Russian economic self-sufficiency” isn’t too far off from that of North Korea (or Orwell’s Oceania): a closed economy with money that’s worthless to the outside world and that is in short supply to any citizen who isn’t a corrupt government official, high-ranking guard labour thug, or defense contractor executive.
In short: That^ is what the west wanted to do Russia
This time that’s what Russia (specifically Putin) did to itself. The West got the ball rolling with justified sanctions and Putin is rushing to make the suffering of the Russian people even worse. Let’s hope it ends as it did in the cartoon (and as the Ukrainian UN ambassador suggests).
