The richest Americans are above the law.

We live in a plutocracy run by oligarchs.

Putin thought he would take Ukraine in a matter of days. It’s been years.

The ruble has been hit hard by all the sanctions. The Russian economy has been weakened to divert funds to a war inept Russia can’t even finish. Russia’s infrastructure and money-producing assets like their oil refineries and rail yards are being attacked by Ukrainians as well as partisans within Russia.

Are Russians killing a lot of Ukrainians? Sure, but they’ve made a laughable amount of progress in Ukraine over the years. Look at the Black Sea fleet numbers. Ultimately Putin is fucking over Russia for a war he can’t finish.
