Realistically America will weather this. The question is how quickly can America replace entire segments of industries to replace Russia & aid Europe.
I swear, if chocolate becomes scarce, I will push the fracking button myself!
The US needs to quickly mobilize and restart manufacturing to help our European allies. In the short to medium term, it's going to be nasty. However, I think North America will eventually weather this crisis, but only if we help one another.
Settle down, I do know how you feel but we can survive without chocolate, it will not be fun but we will just have to make do.
That would be good for other reasons too. It would also reduce our dependence on China as well. We should also figure out what we are going to do about our energy situation as well, so that we can reduce our dependence on the Middle East as well.
Maybe get to pumping oil again to
Um, I think I have heard this theory, but the thing is I heard that Putin was also a member of this organization, so how would that work and why would they attack him, because if he is a member would attacking him even make sense?Has anyone noticed the fact that Putin transferred much of his reserves in USD to the Yuan and purchased insane amounts of Gold before the attack/invasion / destruction of NUKRAINE?
Another thing, I am getting hit with an avalanche of trolls that insist that the World Economic Forum's leader, Klaus Schwab controls Putin and is behind this whole situation, boasting on video at Harvard that he has 'penetrated' the governments of the West. WTF?
Many believe Putin (I obviously do not want to believe this) is the victim of all this and he is ridding the world from the Globalists and eliminating supposed BSL2 labs that the Pentagon set up in northern Ukraine. Also, that Putin went in to get rid of the Azov Group, a neonazi paramilitary organization participating in the civil war int he East of Ukraine.
I am already researching this and there is some credence to the World Economic Forum preparing its 'Young Leaders' to govern the nations of the West -i.e. Trudeau, Freeland (CA), Putin (RU), Macron (FR), Jacinda Ardern (NZ), etc.- with a transhumanistic cult-like 'Global Reset' dystopian view. I went to their site on Global Young Leaders and searched for Zelensy to see if he was one of them, and lo and behold, he is one of its members!
So, when a fellow colleague journalist whom I work with showed me a video with the Ukrainian Member of Parlament, Kira Rudyk, who takes lots of selfies with her AK47 and posts on Twitter as if this war where a political opportunity to look nice, slap on some make up and pose with the Kalashnikov rifle that the government provided for her, I went what? Play that again! I said. She does say that she is with the New World Order (NWO). But I told him that it was abruptly cut when she said that and that it seems that she is referring to a new world order of nations without Russia in the mix.
Here is the video and part of the transcript that is being misused, judge for yourself.
"We not only fight for Ukraine, we fight for this new world order for the democratic countries"- Kira Rudyk, Ukrainian MP on Fox News.
Any replies are welcome.

Putin was or is I don’t know if he is now, a member of the same group.
No problem and your right.
Agree. Just 30 years ago, it was the USSR (until December 1991), and the USSR was the focus of Western sanctions and blockages of every kind for many, many decades. The idea that the former Soviet Union has no ability or history for self-reliance economically, and is totally dependent on modern Western economic resources, ignores this history. USA's economic war is hitting Russia with what we believe would hurt, mostly based on our worldview. Western nations economic interdependence is significantly more a part of who and what we are in terms of nation-states.
