"Sanctions never deter" - haha. Translation: "Sanctions didn't deter Putin." Pretty much everything the resident said is characteristically false, stupid, or both. "Sanctions have tanked the Ruble" - yeah, right:

Fake President, fake statements, fake experts, fake desire for peace, fake stock market, fake dollar, fake reserves, fake trading houses, fake economy, fake news. What isn't fake? What Putin says. Also, that the U.S. has handed over nearly all of its manufacturing capability (and associated supply chains) to China and SE Asia and a great deal of its technology to China.
Just who is our vaunted "service economy" going to service when all trust in our financial system and its associated mechanisms, and all trust in the "full faith and credit" of the U.S. is gone? Now on the other hand if Brandon and his puppeteers really mean to take down the U.S. in its entirely, then they are not only great liars but geniuses!
