Putin called Biden’s bluff.

-Biden- Mother of all sanctions will be brought upon Russia should they invade Ukraine.

-Putin- in a news report Biden reports Russia has indeed invaded Ukraine

Then Biden backed off the mother of all sanctions for a watered down version.

Putin laughs

As I have noted elsewhere but it needs repeating for US Gullibles .

Russia has an estimated minimum $75 trillion in natural resources. And It made so much extra money last year because of the boom in commodity prices gifted to Russia by US drivel stories !!

And the more US garbage the greater the Russian budget surplus .

EU main countries have already used 95% of their winter gas reserves . They cannot indulge in hard sanctions .

The US is only running this amateur False Flag as a means of postponing Nord Stream 2 which is completed and ready to go .

Sanctions alone will not deter the now utterly deranged Putin. Only sanctions plus body bags going back to Russia will deter him. Maybe not even that.

The old saw was never truer. "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely." Putin appears to be losing his mind surrounded by yes men and lap dogs and having now an established history of assassinating political opponents and severely punishing all political dialogue that does not toe his line. Why would we be surprised that he is losing his mind after 20 odd years of total power?

YES.

President Biden erred in taking the advice of his "advisers" to pretend to be a tough guy.

First, to be a tough guy, you need the physical appearance to scare people. (Of course, there are exceptions. That precious-looking little man in Canada did turn out to be a tough guy!)

President Biden's "advisers" also made a terrible mistake by sending that lightweight Vice President Harris to Europe. Besides being a woman (Russia is very macho), she has no gravitas at all. I can guess how the brutes in the Kremlin were laughing when they saw her pathetic performance.
