No Matter What Happens In Tomorrow's Summit Between Trump And Putin

the leftist lemmings have already received their Putin puppet narrative, and are just waiting for the green light. Should be entertaining.

But here's the reality...
• Trump pressured the EU to stop buying Russian oil, going from about 27% in 2021 to around 3% in 2025.
• The Russian economy is currently on the brink of collapse.
• The Russian people are fed up with the war.
• Trump still has additional economic sanctions as further leverage.

This 👇

As Trump said, he'll know within a few minutes if Putin is serious about peace or not.

The Russian economy is booming not on the verge of collapse. Too Funny!!!!
@hippyjoe1955 I guess 1.1% GDP, high inflation, currency devaluation is your idea of an economic boom? Have another drink 🥃

@BizSuitStacy Not sure what Marx Carnage has to do with this discussion but I have talked to people who have recently been to Russia. They tell a very different story than the 'official' mouthpieces that want the war in Ukraine to drag on. I don't trust 'official' mouthpieces because they are owned by the guys making billions off of war. I do trust the guys who went to Russia not knowing what to expect. They came back shocked. They wished the US cities could look as good as Moscow. I saw some guy videoed himself shopping for groceries. The prices were much lower than here in Canada. Oh and in the store they were selling Coke. So much for the US sanctions.

Not sure what Marx Carnag
Simply making the point that Canada is a NATO and is complicit in this mess too, along with the European members. You think Obama hatched the plan for regime change in Ukraine all by himself?

As for the Russian economy, the numbers aren't good no matter where I look. You have the opportunity to produce something that may alter my thinking. But here say from people visiting the country doesn't tell the story.

@BizSuitStacy If you knew how little Canada contributes to its own self defence.... Too funny. Canada has some antique airplanes a rusty boat or two and a politically correct arm that is shrinking on a daily basis. Once upon a time Canada was an alternative landing site for the space shuttle. Edmonton Alberta Canada had a huge runway built to take nuclear attacks. It is now a parking lot for rusty tanks and antique army trucks. When I was in the CAF we used trucks that were older than many of the troops driving them.
