love poutine ha haHe said: it would be nice to have clarity
As if it truly strained his mental faculties to associate Putin <=> Poutine.
This is not about 'clarity' but about idol worshipping. He is just ticked off that an American DARED to insult his idol.
I had poutine before. It is a good Canadian comfort food dish. So am not sure what he is complaining about.
That happened and the issue was discussed at length in this thread many pages earlier.Ok fine.
What do you make of those African students video few pages back who are protesting that Ukranian people are not letting them go and asking them to stay or even fight instead?
Propaganda?
PS: I just want to make it clear, I am not pro Russia or anti Ukraine, I like them both.
Just too tired of one sided Western propaganda and brainwashing of general public ... and all those non-stop revolutions and Western ignited wars everywhere.
My dislike, to put it mildly, for Donald Trump is well known on this forum. I used 'Dump' or 'Frump' or 'Stump' or 'The Orange One', and no one complained. No one had any problems figuring out who I was talking about. But the coffee guy have a beef with 'Poutine'.love poutine ha ha
1. I see they broke out the donated Belgian FNCs
Come to think of it logically. If YOU can consider those factors, do you think a cunning spy like Putin and his advisors are just plain idiots and they wouldnt have taken that into consideration?Venezuela has largest reserves of oil in the world:

Venezuela’s Oil Industry: Challenges and Illusions - Venezuelanalysis
The oil industry continues to be by far the most important sector of the Venezuelan economy. Though it seems unlikely the production levels obtained prior to 2014 can be reached, stabilizing and raising oil output is key to any prospect of economic recovery in the short and medium-term...venezuelanalysis.com
Venezuela's oil industry faces serious obstacles on all levels. The most important hindrance is US sanctions (we will return to the theme later). These unilateral coercive measures reinforce and aggravate other problems.
A country can be blessed with natural resources but it needs customers (EXPORTS), political stability, anti-corruption measures, and a sound economic policy to be prosperous. Conflicts are not helpful.
Now let us have a look at Russian EXPORTS for perspective:

Russia's 2021 Exports By Sector And Country - Russia Briefing News
Russia is diversifying, widening and increasing its export base The Russian Federal Customs Service (FCS) has released data that shows for the first ten months of 2021, Russia’s total exports reached $388.4 billion, an increase of 42.8% over 2020. This has been due to a number of factors, not...www.russia-briefing.com
Russia‘s Top Five Trading Partners were responsible for 86.9% of all trade between January-October last year and were as follows;
China (US$112.4 billion)
Germany (US$46.1 billion)
Netherlands (US$37 billion)
US (US$28.8 billion)
Turkey (US$25.7 billion)
When you consider Europe as a collective - it is the largest EXPORT destination for Russian goods.
How can Russia substitute much of Europe with other countries? China can only do so much for Russia.
Does China even need to buy numerous Russian goods when it produces so much by itself?
With all due respect, I am no military expert, but by discarding Russia as if she is not even North Korea, you are not stating a fact but more a wish. Just like I dont believe in Russian propaganda, I dont believe these Western propaganda sources as well.Russia is a major military power? No shit sherlock. This military power will erode through time as crippling sanctions will take full effect and bite very hard. A country needs handsome budget to afford a large and advanced military force.
