Sanctions against Russia Are the Lockdowns of 2022
Putin's military continues to encircle Kyiv. To date, thankfully, America and its NATO allies have held off pleas from Zelenskyy to enforce a no-fly zone, which would risk the eruption of a world war.
So instead, along with supplying arms, intel, and—potentially—runways and planes to Ukraine, the focus of the West has been economic warfare.
What is not clear is whether the West is prepared to deal with the actual consequences of this approach.
What began with targeted sanctions on the Russian leaders and oligarchs has expanded to cutting off Russian banks from SWIFT, broad attacks on Russian industries, and now complete bans on Russian oil and other exports by some NATO countries.
Moreover, Western corporations have reinforced these policies by indiscriminately banning Russian customers .
This coordinate blanket canceling of Russia is not a tool crafted by the necessity of the situation, but rather a new application of the form of warfare that the West has become the most comfortable with.
America's weaponization of the dollar-backed financial system and is increasingly used against 'domestic enemies', but began against North Korea, Iran, and Venezuela.
Bungling Biden is now begging the latter two for oil.
Unfortunately for the West, Vladimir Putin is far shrewder than bungling Biden and his hapless handlers.
Russia is not only a major energy provider to global—and, in particular, European—markets but is a globally important exporter of wheat, fertilizer, metals, and other strategically important resources.
To add to the stupidity of the bungling Biden regime, the bunglers failed to anticipate the refusal of other global powers—including India, Brazil, Mexico, and China—to follow their lead.
None of this should be particularly surprising.
Red China's interest in using Russia as a foil against American global hegemony has been clearly illustrated for decades. Nations like India, Brazil, and Mexico have seen the rise of nationalist political parties that echoe Putin's critiques of the globalist West.
Already Putin has demonstrated a willingness to wield his natural resources as a wedge to pull traditionally subversive global actors away from America's leadership.
Meanwhile, Russian nationalists have celebrated the West's economic response to the Ukraine invasion, identifying the possibility of shifting consumer trends away from America- and Europe-based companies toward Eurasian products.
As a result, it is precisely the Russians that are the most culturally aligned with the West that are the most penalized by the American response to Putin's actions.
While the West has made vividly clear its sense of moral self-righteousness it is less obvious whether there is any way to deal with the shock back home.
In America, gas has already hit all-time highs, while the cost of food, energy, and other vital resources is following. In response, the bungling Bidenites have lectured Americans on the virtues of electric vehicles and other forms of "green energy."
Not even Tesla's Elon Musk believes this line.
Ultimately any attempts by Western governments to soothe the feelings of their citizens depend upon convincing them that the very same "experts" who told them Bidenflation was "transitory" is intellectually equipped to handle this deepening crisis.

Let's face it; he hit the limits of his abilities 47 years ago.
BTW, low-info lefties may not know what the Peter Principle is. They probably think it's a reference to male genitalia.

I agree I was laughing as I was writing that saying it could have been applied to Brandon a long time ago.
Looking it up will give them something to do. They might actually learn something today if they do.
Soaring Gas Prices Aren’t About Ukraine At All
This is not about "freedom."
Soaring gasoline prices across the country aren’t about what’s happening in Ukraine like bungling Biden claims, They are about an “ideology of punishment.”
The economic hit we're taking from stopping oil imports from Russia could easily be absorbed if we were drilling more here.
Instead, bungling Biden claims the increase in costs at the pump are a “hardship that we must accept.”
That is not true. It’s the environmentalist clap-trap that drove up costs. This is not about freedom. There would be no soaring prices if bungling Biden didn’t demonize drilling, if he didn’t shut down pipelines, if he didn’t demonize fossil fuel.
It’s not about defending Ukraine, it’s about exposing the destructiveness of the green ideology, which is part of a larger ideology of punishment.
Rich people like bungling Biden and his cronies (who have access to helicopters and jets and are chauffeured everywhere, at taxpayer's expense) can handle this , but they tell the rest of us "just pay more for gas".
It’s the poor and middle class that are going to suffer, and it’s going to be hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the United States whose lives are destroyed.
Not Putin's.

That's not how low-info lefties roll. They need the comic book and crayons version curated and served to them on a silver platter from an "approved" source.
If they were capable of thinking independently and being personally responsible enough to take the initiative to learn, they wouldn't be lefties, would they?

That's a great point
It's obvious, isn't it?
They march in leftist lockstep in fascist Führer Fauci's Covidian cult juju juice jab and magical mass mask rallies and goose-step in "green" garb in their witless worship of Gaianist god Gore, just to give two of the more egregious contemporary examples.
Like the Borg, no individual thought or action is permissible. It's totally top-down.
EPA head says the quiet part out loud: Biden's Handlers Want Skyrocketing Gas Prices.
DEMOCRATS are well-versed in applying the old adage, “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” and are busy using it on Y O U as gas prices spiral out of all control.
Environmental Protection Agency chief Michael Regan confirmed that on Monday.
The Sacramento Bee reported that Regan was at the White Louse, along with Mister Mom Peter "Puffer" Buttigieg and alleged Vice President Shamala Hairless, to announce “proposed limits on new buses and large trucks to curb some of their greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% in the next decade.”
In the course of his retarded remarks, Regan boasted, “We’re pressing the accelerator to reach a zero-emissions future sooner than most people thought.”
Nothing presses the accelerator to reach a zero-emissions future more effectively than gas prices rising so high that driving a car is simply too expensive.

Indescribably
Bungling Biden’s feckless energy policy is only getting worse — and he can’t blame Putin
It’s impossible to exaggerate bungling Biden’s fecklessness on energy policy.
Incredibly, it’s only grown worse.
On Tuesday, bungling Biden rushed to declare a US embargo on buying Russian oil — clearly not out of any considered policy decision, but simply because DEMOCRATS in Congress joined Republicans in pushing the idea.
The move has risks, such as pushing an increasingly erratic Vladimir Putin to stop all Russia’s energy sales to the West, which would send global prices soaring even further.
Worse, the bungling Bidenites are now looking to replace Russian oil with Venezuelan crude — no matter that that nation’s dictatorship is as evil as Putin’s.
And they’re rushing to a new Iran deal, empowering that vile regime in hopes of getting Tehran’s oil back on the global market.
Meanwhile, the White Louse is pretending that Putin’s war is the only cause of the crisis, ignoring the fact that energy prices started soaring as soon as bungling Biden stole office and declared war on the US fossil-fuel industry: shutting down pipelines, denying new drilling permits and promising a renewed regulatory and tax attack on any who dare to drill.
Team bungling Biden and DEMOCRATS like New York’s Gov. Kathy Hochul are also frowning on suggestions to suspend taxes on gasoline, home-heating oil and the like — though federal, state and local levies accounted for 22% of pump prices pre-war.
In other words, a nationwide suspension of gas taxes would do a whole lot more for hard-hit consumers than bungling Biden’s farcical release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve: Even with other nations joining in, that’s less than two days’ global supply.

How DEMOCRATS Spiked Gas Prices
HATE THE PLAYER, NOT THE GAME - BUNGLING BIDEN IS TO BLAME
Despite reassurances from the White Louse that it is doing nothing to discourage oil companies from opening new drill sites, bungling Biden's allies in Congress recently pressured oil executives to decrease output because of 'climate change', raising questions about the DEMOCRAT Party's strategy to lower prices for consumers.
In late October, for example, the House Oversight and Reform Committee called in the CEOs of Exxon, BP, Shell, and Chevron to explain what steps they are taking to produce less oil and gas, with Rep. Hank Johnson (D., Ga.) alleging that "the world can't wait" any longer.
At the time, gas prices were hovering around a 10-year high.
The hearing has gained new relevance as a global gas shortage has pushed prices to an all-time high.
Prices are rising even more due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with no sign of falling after bungling Biden's belated announcement that the United States will no longer accept Russian oil imports.
Those facts have left DEMOCRATS scrambling for a solution before the November midterms as Republicans demand that the White Louse encourage domestic oil drilling operations.
The resident said on Tuesday that his policies are not "holding back domestic energy production," echoing lies from White Louse Mistress of Misinformation Psucky Psaki, who calumniously claimed "federal policies are not limiting the supplies of oil and gas" before mentioning the thousands of unused pre-approved oil and gas drilling leases.

Bungling Biden Is Disconnected From All Reality
HATE THE PLAYER, NOT THE GAME - BUNGLING BIDEN IS TO BLAME
One of the problems with bungling Biden is that he just doesn’t seem to understand what’s going on and he’s willing to do anything for the radical left agenda, even if that means hurting Americans in the process.
Right now, he’s banning Russian oil while prices are skyrocketing.
But you also have to guarantee our production (or you’re cutting off your nose to spite your face) and he’s not doing that. That means the price of oil (and gas prices) will just keep going up for Americans.
What did bungling Biden say about that yesterday in Texas?
Whoops, sorry, there’s “nothing I can do”; it’s all Vladimir Putin’s fault.

Begging Biden Keeps Iranian Plot to Kill John Bolton under Wraps
SOUNDS LIKE 'BLOOD FOR OIL', DOESN'T IT?
Members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) have been plotting to assassinate John Bolton, former national-security adviser, says a Justice Department official.
Prosecutors have enough evidence to indict two Iranians attached to the IRGC’s Quds force, but that the bungling Biden regime has "resisted" filing public charges for fear that it could derail their ongoing effort to strike a nukes-for oil deal with Tehran.
Now, we have a plot to kill a prominent American. So, why would bungling Biden want to help the Iranians with a program that will yield nuclear weapons in short order, and in the interim help them by lifting sanctions on their anti-American terrorism so they can subsidize more anti-American terrorism — all with the help of his other negotiating partner, Vladimir Putin?
You know why.
