    Which is probably why they’re trying to bid up Ukraine with the US using their own minerals.

    Edit: Although some are suggesting this article is just propaganda, Russia’s main challenge is that their economy is on the brink of failing and domestic support becomes a question if that happens. From a skim that appears to be the main thrust of it.

      Their economy has allegedly been on the brink of failing for the past three years according to US state department talking points. Surely any day now the Ruskies will surrender…

        The CIA wishes they were even a tenth as competent as you think they are.

        Go read any of the declassified reports of CIA activity, starting with the Church commission.

        Or the actual events of Benghazi.

        The truth is, the CIA is full of bumbling chucklefucks who have no clue if the actions they take will have the effect they want.

        They can do a lot of damage, but like you, they also tend to believe the Hollywood myth making.

        This belief doesn’t make them any more competent, but it does make them more reckless and dangerous.

        This is not a special military operation. It involves the citizens of both nations directly involved.

        The War in Afghanistan. The War in Iraq. The War in Gaza.

        The War in Ukraine. Started by Russia after their puppet government was ousted in Ukraine.
