It's a longshot. But Apathy goes both ways, and this has been a bad year for people who supported maga to release the pedophile files.

"But he's the leader of the country 'in charge' of NATO, therefore every NATO country must obey him on pain of military action! That's how the Soviet Union worked, that's how modern Russia works... that's how it ALWAYS works, nyet?"

That story works, but the other narrative is just as compelling:
Afgan who works with Special Operations (and thus, associated with CIA) is told that he and his family are on a list to get deported. Kills two national guard in "totally safe" DC to embarass the administration, on thanksgiving.

6 months in Afghanistan, 60days (and change) in Korea. They ALWAYS offered holiday passes. I got some good trade by covering other people who had duty.

It is absolutely a performative purity test. There's nothing new being accomplished with it, it's just literal signaling of virtue. If someone WANTS to jump on that bandwagon, ok, weird flex. DEMANDING EVERYONE does it is a purity test.

That seems redundant and performative. A decorated former officer reminding the troops of something they may have forgotten is one thing. Purity testing people who have never served if they dont dictate to troops what they already have been told is quite another.

This is literally why military lawyers are assigned to commanders. "Did you ask your JAG officer or did your JAG officer volunteer any advice?" is a question that pops up in military tribunals.

Hot wars are expensive. Still, without the recently installed sanctions, it would take 3 more years to drain their accounts.

I mean, that just means they have a negative cashflow and cant access international loans. They still have a LOT of gold- enough to run the whole country on for weeks without any taxes or exports at all.
But unlike low-rate loans like the US has, you cant keep it up forever.

The new sanctions were agreed on months ago, but they were only implemented yesterday. And right on time, there's a "peace deal" that Putin's puppets are trying hard to pressure Ukraine to accept, even though it amounts to surrender.
Russia had one of the top 5 gold reserves. It's half gone now.

The new sanctions are worth more than all that, if trump doesnt roll them back.
Russia is already halfway through their gold reserve, and they dont get the same favorable interest rates on national debt the US does.
