Russia will wind up being a vassal of China, unable to take a dump without China’s say so. The situation among Russia’s oligarchy must be growing increasingly desperate by the day? Serves them right. Rumours are making the news that Putin’s paranoia is no longer unjustified either. A plot to assassinate him and put the currently incarcerated “ex” security head in charge? We’ll see I guess?

@Yifei15 : Do you know who has as much gas and oil as Russia in the EU? According to Shell and Exxon, it’s Ukraine. It’s in the Donbas region and off shore in Crimea. Now it’s also in the west, by the Carpathian Mountains. So, if Russia loses this war, they have a competitor who will take 3 to 5 years to drill it and get the infrastructure and pipelines built, but who can push international prices down whilst making Ukrainians rich. Of course, Putin knows this, which is WHY he invaded. And the west knows this too, which is why Putin has been stunned by their resolve. Ever since the term, “energy security,” has been a thing, the west has ensured total domination of it. Putin is going to find he’s no exception. So, cutting off energy reliance on Putin will be no bad thing. It won’t last forever. Only until his colleagues decide to do something about him.

@rogerburn5132 : You don’t get it, do you? Some things are worth paying extra for. Thousands of people are being murdered and the world is watching in almost real time! We’ll pay the extra for a while until the tyrant has been dealt with and call it, “liberty tax,” Okay?

@julianpetkov8320 : You sound like a passive aggressive 1970’s housewife who can’t find her Xanax pills. Bitter about losing are we, cup cake? Never mind aye, Julie? 😜

@aeiouaeiou100 : Who knows when fusion energy will be a thing, castrating Russia forever? Next week I hope, but it could be next century. All I would say is certain is that energy tech is changing so fast, anyone who thinks they know the future as far as next week is suffering from a severe case of hubris.

@velocecarriola9214 : How would you know? 🤦‍♂️ You’re not in Australia, nor are you Australian, madam. 🤷‍♂️ You’ll stop Putingandising right about the time Putin’s money stops paying your wages, about three weeks from now. 😆 Who are you trying to kid? The 10 year olds? 😂

@julianpetkov8320 : Nah, we’d prefer to allow Shell, BP and Exxon to develop Ukrainian gas and oil reserves, thanks. After all, they already spent billions buying the rights to do that? How about some fair competition to drive prices down? Rather than burning down your rival’s business like you were still in the KGB? . . .

@rumas3352 : You think, Putin? . . . No, I mean, “Do you think?” Because that’s the dumbest comment on YouTube today. 🥴

@ismir8808 : Read a book, madam? Then your IQ might get above 2? If you try really hard?

@garygraham8373 : I don’t think so? China is secretly FUMING at Putin, who told them (at the Winter Olympics) that he would annex Ukraine in a matter of days, suck up a few sanctions that he’d set his, “war chest,” aside for and it would be back to business as usual, and it would make it even harder for the west to do anything about Xi’s plans to invade Taiwan! Now, suddenly Taiwan is looking like a distant dream and Xi is hopping mad. Taking Taiwan is the legacy he wants to leave behind; forever remembered as the man who consolidated the Chinese Empire. He needs Russia’s swollen debts and economy the size of Spain’s (but with way more corruption) to look after like he needs a bag on his hip! Xi is a very smart man. And China will do what’s best for China, which is usually nothing, unless they can get money or power out of it. Putin has the reputation for, “smart,” because he’s actually sly and cunning, but he’s as dumb as a rock. Xi knows that too. He doesn’t want Russia screwing up his plans any more than they already have.
