For those not familiar with my early writings on the actual situation, go back a look at my previous articles written in March- Is Russia on the Ropes in Ukraine? and Update on the Military Situation in Ukraine.
Three U.S. officials told NBC News this week there is no evidence Russia has brought any chemical weapons near Ukraine.
The administration has done so even when the intelligence wasn't rock solid, officials said, to keep Russian President Vladimir Putin off balance.... Just this week, national security adviser Jake Sullivan stood at the White House podium and read out what officials said was more declassified intelligence, asserting that Russia's pullout from areas around Kyiv wasn't a retreat but a strategic redeployment that signals a significant assault on eastern and southern Ukraine, one that U.S. officials believe could be a protracted and bloody fight.
"Western sanctions in response to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine are still taking a heavy toll on the Russian war machine....The Russian economy is collapsing," ... adding that Germany had played its part here by reducing exports to Russia in March by 60%, with an even sharper fall expected in April.
Just because Germany has decided to commit economic hari kari by declining to purchase cheap Russian oil, does not mean that Russia is bleeding out financially.
First, Russia is not dependent on having western luxury items filling western owned stores.
The economy of Russia is not dependent on having a Russian version of Rodeo Drive filled with overpriced baubles.
