So........not the best and brightest, eh? An army of political prisoners, what could possibly go wrong? I was amused by the news recently of a group of NK soldiers smoking a group of their ally, the Chechens, because the couldn't understand each other.

All it would take to bring Russia to its knees clutching its bruised balls and gasping, would be to engineer a virus that eats oil, and send a CIA ninja to inject it in that vein of a trillion gallons they want so bad, and watch it turn into worthless virus shit.

Trouble is, all our capitalist monsters want that oil too.
It's like the One Ring.
Everyone's tempted.

How about some bacteria?

So Trumps big threat to Putin to make a deal over Ukraine is Trump threatening to hit Russia with taxes, tariffs, and sanctions.
Except all the existing ones mean that Russia already has very little trade with the US anyway.
Quality plan.

The only way that would work is if he were to convince India to hit Putin with these. And I doubt India's likely to be swayed.

He also wants to enlist China, since China has the leverage that he lacks.
