Western nations including the United States have imposed brutal sanctions against Russia in an effort to derail its economy. However, the world is so interconnected and dependent on Russian energy that these countries are shooting themselves in the foot. Effectively, the sanctions are against ourselves.

One shudders at the thought of the magnitude and perversity of the draconian sanctions that then would be necessary to send Harris packing … only to get …. Pelosi !!!!
Good Christ, falco. First thing in the morning — I haven’t even had my coffee yet — and you mention Pelosi? There goes today. (That and the comment being sent to moderation.)
Spot on, Ted!
Biden is handing Trump a Grover Cleveland. On the other hand, I consider Biden to be Trump’s second term since I can’t find any substantial difference in his policies. Remember how terrible Trump’s tariffs were? The tariff on Canadian lumber doubled in November.
So what do you recommend?
