Russia holds all the cards now.
The US literally handed all the cards to Russia.
This is the single worst war operation ever, and it is only possible because the people running this anal empire inherited extreme wealth and power from previous generations, who were extremely competent.

There are no more adults in the room. America is run by childlike lunatics.
They are blowing everything, rapidly.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has proposed to Russian President Vladimir Putin that he extend a deal allowing the safe Black Sea export of grain from Ukraine in return for connecting a subsidiary of Russia’s agricultural bank to the SWIFT international payment system, sources told Reuters.
Russia has threatened to ditch the grain deal, which expires on Monday, because several demands to dispatch its own grain and fertilizer abroad have not been met. The last two ships traveling under the Black Sea agreement are currently loading cargoes at the Ukrainian port of Odesa ahead of the deadline.
The Ukraine still produces a ton of grain, even during this war.
People are going to have serious shortage problems if this deal lapses, and prices are going to shoot up everywhere.
Personally, I don’t care, because I only eat clean carbs.
But a lot of poor people and morons eat wheat, not understanding what this is doing to their metabolism.
A key demand by Moscow is the reconnection of the Russian agricultural bank Rosselkhozbank to the SWIFT international payment network. It was cut off by the European Union in June 2022 over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. An EU spokesperson said in May the EU was not considering reinstating Russian banks.
However, the EU is considering connecting to SWIFT a subsidiary of Rosselkhozbank to allow specifically for grain and fertilizer transactions, three sources familiar with discussions told Reuters on Wednesday. The European Commission did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
You will meet our demands.
Or you will go hungry.
Guterres has proposed to Putin that Russia allow the Black Sea grain deal to continue for several months, giving the EU time to connect a Rosselkhozbank subsidiary to SWIFT, two of those sources familiar with discussions told Reuters.
Guterres sent a letter to Putin on Tuesday proposing a way forward to further facilitate Russian food and fertilizer exports and ensure the continued Black Sea shipments of Ukrainian grain, a U.N. spokesman said on Wednesday.
The thing here is: Putin hasn’t even begun to play his hand.
He’s got a stacked deck.
He hasn’t even declared war on the Ukraine. He’s just doing a special military operation on these faggots, and he’s killed more than a quarter of a million people.
These faggots in Washington should have known better than to mess with this guy.
He comes from the KGB.
He’s a serious person.
