Putin is confident that he will win the waiting game because...winter is coming. Ergo the US's west european allies will all start freezing because of the lack of Russian oil and natural gas, and will then break ranks with US support of Ukraine.

But SHOULD he be so confident?

I blame that their capitalism went full Oligarchy. You NEVER go full Oligarchy. In fact, NEVER go Oligarchy PERIOD. And several Russian Oligarchs died of "accidental suicides".

Stupid Merkel the Turtle.
She did so much damage to Germany. :roll:

She is responsible for the greater resurgence of the extreme right, btw.

It seems Germany has overcome its natural gas needs now.
And the Russians are the poorer for it.
In your face, pootin. :mrgreen:

Contrary to popular opinion, Russia has quite a poor war record, stretching back to the Tsarist days.

Germany signed a new oil deal with Qatar.

They criticize them in the world cup, yet they sign oil deals with them. :mrgreen:
