    Well, this is much easier than going after Iranians anyway.

    The US, which is rapidly becoming Russia #2, should be sanctioned by the international community. It probably won’t happen, but it should.

      The US already got its ass beat in a “special military operation” on one of its neighbors in 1961. It already invaded a country under false pretenses in 2003. It has been funding organized crime abroad to empower its oligarchs since at least the 19th century. The US has assassinated political opposition and sent their followers to hard labor camps in numbers greater than any other country on earth.

      The only sense in which the US is becoming Russia #2 is that its empire is now collapsing too.

      Just wait until BRICS becomes the new petro dollar. After that, all bets are off.
