Actually, your opening thesis is incorrect. The US was only one year ago, and energy exporter. Biden closed down the oil and gas leases, and stopped Keystone, because his family interests are in Ukraine's gas market.
As for the US needing Russia, we are the only nation on the planet who can literally wall ourselves off, and remain completely self sufficient. We now have to two largest oil reserves in the world under the Bakken Shale, and now in West Texas plains. Russia cannot last two years without the 80% import of our grains and other farm products. Russia is not well known for such extremely fertile farm land like we have here in the US. We have very rich soil, and considerable long growing seasons. We can produce 4 crops of corn, 3 crops of wheat, 4 crops of barley, soy, and potatoes a year below the 38th parallel, known as the Mason Dixon line.
Russia is our No. 2 export for agriculture goods. I'll provide a link. China is the no. 2 because for political reasons, and trade agreements. We sell to Chinese trade firms, who then sell to Russia. China has ample farming land. It really has no need to import agri from the US. Russia cannot nuke the US because it NEEDS our farm land. Which is why we put our nuclear silos in the middle are farmers' fields. To attach our missile silos is to destroy the only thing Russia would really invade for, the farm land.
That can be read as a defeatist attitude. We change our governments. I don't think you're intent is to put our a hands up, what can we do message. We MUST start taking actions to change our governments. It starts at the polls. It starts with ripping out the computer election systems, which it is obvious we cannot trust, and go back to the ole tried and true, paper ballots, hand counted.
It isn't my opening thesis... the entire article is the opinion of Dmitry Orlov - I like to share rarely heard opinions to balance the plethora of nonsense we see in our lame stream media and to reveal alternative narratives.
I don't necessarily believe everything anyone says.
I always imagine that the truth lies somewhere between the extremes!
Frances, thank you for this piece. I really appreciate the information you are putting forth and your perspective. (and happy belated birthday)
I do so wish the little bits of female hatred slipping out here and there, in the first video, could be dispensed with (not on you in the least). Even if Orlov's perspective is completely grounded and accurate calling someone herring faced is so... boring. (blah blah blah) But I do appreciate his very learned perspective.
humanitarian disaster 360... praying for the everyday peoples caught up in this deadly nonsense... here in USA Putin is the new uni-party orange man / dr. evil... that said, if your mental case neighbor has a biological meth lab going in his basement the logical thing would be to do something about it... no?
There you go, applying cat logic to lunatic humans who are obsessed with owning/controlling the world! It is not just the USA which is being media driven into hating Putin & Russia. This has been a Black Nobility project for centuries and there is a historical reason which explains it here:
You are kidding, right? You wanted your comments to be deleted and whichever way you achieved your intention is irrelevant. After 2 mins observation, you poured scorn on my friends' work & you did not like my defence, even though it was perfectly polite. You then fucked up the comment section on my birthday post. You reckon you have a temper? Man, you should see mine! I do not suffer ignorance nor do I tolerate more than 3 red flags from a person. Your red flags were in double figures.
AND here you are talking irrelevant, unrelated shit on another of my posts!

That's lovely to know, but if our govt is intent on destroying us, as it appears to be, those assets are irrelevant.

I could not work out who he was referring to, could you?
I'd have to rewatch it. All I took in was that it was a woman in British government. It wasn't what was most relevant for me.

...(hehehe) see that’s the thing... when the humans are done destroying each other, cats (& bugs) will rule...
...yes, the agenda 2030/dark nobility/new world order is the ONLY logical explanation for all the ROT... all the puzzle pieces clicking into place.
