Tucker Carlson was giving some lame excuse it's retaliation for the 2016 election and the democrats wanting to remove Putin. A few breath's later he made note that of all the oligarchs they sanctioned the one who gave money to Hunter Biden was exempt. Last week he made note that the majority of oligarch's weren't sanctioned at all. I went to look to see if those sanctioned were or had connections to draining billions out of Ukraine but most weren't mentioned in that fashion, there were a couple connected to gas companies but no specific mention of Ukraine and with the remainder having served in the KGB with Putin or had other militarily alignments in Russia.
I am still of the mindset this whole thing has been orchestrated for years before implementation. Personally I see a bigger agenda of the build back better initiative playing out. I don't think the likes of Nick Fink who seems to be pulling the strings has time for what would ordinarily be termed "interdepartmental fighting" only instead among countries after having gone this far to disrupt the world with their diabolical virus scheme.
This may just be phase 1 of a long trend of phases planned that might ultimately in the end see NATO worn down intertangled in war to the extent they'd be useless if the US was to be hit by Russia and visa versa when it comes to us with them. Our military has been beaten down to some respects already. I don't think this is a transition that is imminent more so than rehearsed to take place over time in correlation with whatever events they have planned out to tear down the system to build it back better. I think it will be a slow structured process(es) that will take place centered around what energy and energy disputes when the infrastructure to switch varying countries over to whatever they have planned for each country to transition to is in place. This will all be paid for by rising prices in energy cost under the guise of fighting for democracy.
