This is really that simple.


Putin and XI have a strategic obligation to kill the Petro Dollar and replace the Dollar as the reserve currency.

Putin wants to regain the staus of the USSR and has written on that strategy he intends to follow.

In my opinion Putins stated goals and strategy is diametrically opposed to the interests of the USA, or more accurately what I think should be the interests of the USA.

Not many simple answers and anyone who thinks they have the perfect solution to the Ukraine doesn't.

Ukraine stopping Putin would seem like the best outcome for the USA. We should have sold them more weapons sooner as they seem to be willing to fight.


Loosing the dollar is what's at risk when the US pushes all in. The last two decades of US Russian foreign policy too often benefited short term special interests over the interests of American citizens. These policies thrust Russia into China's open arms and are a obvious mistake.
