33. The Benefit of this War is Putin's Win
Thu Apr 9, 2026, 03:44 PM
15 hrs ago

1. US is further disgraced
2. US has lost precarious $ resources that if had been used inside the country for benefit of us citizens, we’d be stronger
3. US is alienated from former allies
4. US has lost and will lose more US bases
5. The hollow leadership and lack of strategy is now public
6. US is now seemingly tied to the whip of Israel’s bloodlust mow the lawn foreign policy in the Middle East
7. US Dollar is being replaced by Chinese Yuan for payment of oil in the Middle East
8. …the list of all that is lost is endless
