If Mexico or Canada were wavering, the US would easily have enough soft power/economic arguments to convince them to side with them over Russia/China. Russia is only in its current predicament (having to use military force to coerce its neighbors to stay within their sphere of influence) because Russia has fuck all to offer economically, diplomatically or ideologically.

ok listen: if russia teamed up with mexico, doing business like they wanted, you as american would expect then its a russian plan behind to invade usa.

on the orher side, while nato expand towards russia, you as american CANT believe russians think the same about an invasion and then prevent an invasion like they do now?

you expect russians dont do shit? you stupid?
its like russia teams up with mexico and americans wont do shit?

You're delusional. Finland and Sweden aren't even joining cuz of Turkey LOL.

Russia has the right to self defense same as any other country. The US would not tolerate Russian missile bases in Mexico or Canada. But oh, Russia has to tolerate it like it's totally normal and not at all a security threat for their nation.

How can you stand being such a gigantic hypocrite?

@ bold: nah, cuz there's nothing to be afraid of because 1 - we have nukes, and 2 - we have a military that is not going to be beaten on our home turf by the likes of Russia + Mexico. Go back to recycling your bong water, retard.



Tlk about delusional. Finland or Sweden aren't going to make or break NATO, they just want protection from your puppetmaster.

Russia isn't fucking defending itself, it's waging a a war of genocide on Ukraine.

Good read

Even at 35 dollar discounts for Urals, when crude brent is trading at 117 that's still like $80/barrel they are getting for their oil. To put it into perspective, that's November 2021 market prices, way above the average of around 60-70 we've had for the last 5-10 years.

It's much more difficult to ship oil that you've diverted and disguised. That's a major hurdle even if it eventually makes it to port.

Similarly, selling to China and India isn't nearly as efficient as just using the existing pipelines to Europe.

So even if they find a way to sell oil, the sanctions are still massively slowing down the sales and making it less efficient to sell.
