Inflation (aka: gouging) has peaked . . . .

And still there are those on Agriville blaming NATO, Ukraine, Zelensky, POTUS and Hunter, Trudeau, pipelines not being built in Canada, Germany buying oil and gas etc etc.

Very few posters on Agriville blame Putin the one that gave the order to fire the first missile. Hard to figure out but I'm thinking it's got to do with the majority of the countries in NATO are governed by left to center parties. Or could it be Trump's NATO bashing still floating around in their brains.

Russia's population has been decreasing year upon year , there is no immigration at all (which would suit some on here). Don't know of any person in the world willing to immigrate to a country being run by a dictator.

Ukraine has the greatest farmland in the world is rich in nature resources, and growing economy. Well educated people with a lots of culture dating back centuries. Russia has an aging population with one of the lowest birthrates in the world.

Putin has been a big failure to the Russian people and has stolen billions from them and has always wanted to build back to the former USSR.

Putin's getting old and he looks over at Zelensky who young (and his pecker still works) leading Ukraine into prosperity with a future for it's people and the jealous power hungry bastard invades.

Nobody is saying that Putin is not at fault .

It's a total FU(KING shit show! Arms industries making a KILLING! Europe can't ween off Russian oil/gas...paying Putin to fund the WAR? How in hell can't you all see that ?

Many red flags that are suspicious...Ukraine destroyed their bridges...Putin bad? Mines placed by WHO?

Any one can spray a Z on tanks/vehicles bought from Russia and claim Russian damage?

Azov battalion is NOT nice, Russians HATE Nazis since WW2, killing of 35 million Russians.

Think, it's not simple. Really hope this all ends due to innocent casualties.

Obama pulled the trigger on the CIA backed coup which removed the leader of Ukraine and installed an puppet actor in his place in 2014

That was the first shot.

Dont want war, then stop fcking around in some other countries back yard.

Putin is focused on the wrong back yard.

China is putting the screws to Putin as we speak.

Covid Lockdown????

Besides Putin wanted Ukraine back the next day after Gorbachev gave them their independence.

It's been in his playbook since day one.

Haven't watched all of this yet, but it gives a bit of insight into Zeihans thinking.

Best line I've heard so far:

Yes, Rifles are an industrial technology, but so is fertilizer, and if you remove all three types at the same time? This world is over... The US will be fine (...) but the rest of the world the technical term? It's Phucked!
