::Gee whiz, according to [[User:Conservative]], Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries are the best thing since sliced bread. Either way, the [[Iran war]] or [[Ukraine aid]], it's [[User:Conservative]]'s own [[government]] causing high [[inflation]], the fall in [[US]] [[living standards]], the defeat of the [[GOP]] in [[2026 Midterms]], the takeover by the [[DSA]], etc etc etc. I've told him a thousand times, "when you don't know what your talking about, it's best to just STFU."

::::A bad energy-price headline doesn't flip the fundamentals. US GDP per capita is ~6x Russia's. The US has enforceable contracts, real capital markets, and a diversified economy — Russia's is a sanctioned commodity economy where the state can seize your business on a whim. Inflation cycles come and go; structural advantages don't. If you think Russia's a better bet for building income than the US, that's not politics, that's just being wrong about economics.
::::In addition, I stand by my position of Ukraine's right to defend itself against Russian imperialism. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 22:25, September 3, 2026 (EDT)
:Ok, thanks. We've heard from the pro-[[warmonger]]ing site ''[[WSJ]]'' selling stocks for the [[MIC]] (as if we didn't know). Thanks again.
