18. We now have a President with other tools ....
...to use against Putin. And the balls to do it.
Putin's personal finances are vulnerable. All the talk on these posts about "appeasement" ignores the cold realities of war halfway around the world. I would remind all the enthusiasts that we haven't won a war since 1945.... but spent uncounted $Trillions trying to do so. Are we gonna try it yet again? Biden actually made Putin squeal... "An ex-spy to the core of his icy blue eyes, if you stuck a needle in his thigh down to the bone, it is assumed Vladimir Putin would not so much as blink. Yet he cut loose with an uncharacteristic squeal last week when President Biden said he was prepared to go after Putin’s personal assets should Russia invade Ukraine. By the end of the day, Putin was back under control, the stony poker player showing no trace of emotion. But American diplomats certainly noticed the “tell.” Putin’s spokesman was quick to say that such a move would be highly “destructive” to U.S.-Russian relations, and Americans with such designs were wasting their time because Putin doesn’t have any overseas assets." No overseas assets? Bullshit, Vlad. Biden doesn't need to bomb you, all he needs is to make your Swiss/Bahamas/Bahrainian assets vanish. This isn't trump you are dealing with....no pee tapes of Biden. https://www.yahoo.com/news/biden-made-putin-wince-hopefully-120128314.html |
