Putin only puts Russian nuclear forces on high alert, after the West has already gone “nuclear”.
What a wimp.
The US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and the European Commission are blocking Russia’s central bank from using its roughly US$630bn stockpile of foreign reserves. This will make it difficult for the bank shore up the economy and shield it from the costs associated with its attacks on Ukraine.
It can only easily access its reserves of yuan.
What’s the point of reserves if access to them is blocked?
Putin a genius? He’s just another Trump, a Putin fan.

keep it to western countries only – a nuclear war to reverse global warming.
