She's correct that Russian oil revenues are higher than pre-invasion, but she's wrong about everything else, including her and Ted's belief we should do nothing to impede Putin's dreams of restoring Russian empire.

"Biden's sanctions". All Hail Joe Biden, President of the United States, Canada, the EU, and Australia, South Korea, Taiwan to name a few.

They sell bags of rocks at Home Depot… you should ask them for a bag of left handed hammers and see the looks you get.

Who would’ve thought that sanctions from only half the world on a global commodity wouldn’t kill demand
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
Now, four months into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, China seems closer to Russia than ever. Chinese companies stayed in the Russian market as Western firms exited en masse. And perhaps most important, in May, Russia leapfrogged over Saudi Arabia to become China’s top oil supplier.

Putin Promises Russian Mothers $16K for Having Ten Children
Vladimir Putin is offering Russian mothers cash and an honorary title as his country faces a dwindling population.
The Russian leader will revive the "Mother Heroine" award that was first established under Soviet leader Josef Stalin in 1944, which was given to more than 400,000 women before being scrapped after the fall of the USSR in 1991.
Under the decree issued on Monday, a one-off payment of one million rubles ($16,400) will be "awarded to a mother who is a citizen of the Russian Federation, who has given birth to and brought up ten or more children who are citizens of the Russian Federation."
[...]
The United Nations has predicted that in a worst-case scenario Russia's population could almost halve by the start of the next century.

Don't we have a Russian propaganda thread we can move this to?
I did suggest to the mods they are free to move this to the WWIII thread.

This is an interesting article about a foreign unit fighting in Ukraine, lead by Georgian fighters. They initially came to Ukraine in 2016 and warned that Russia would be invading Ukraine as they did Georgia. They believe Russia's goal is to take back all ex-Soviet territory.
The leader was boasting back in June how they hadn't lost a single soldier, but then lost a Brazilian fighter (sniper), killed in an airstrike when he was visiting another battalion.
And they need more weapons and equipment. The West needs to do more and step up.
Another article talking about where Ukraine stands six months in. If we're serious, we need to do more. I believe the Russian threat pivots on this fight. Let's not blow this!
Ukraine also lacks resources for any quick reclamation of its territory, with Barrons estimating it could take well into next year to amass a force capable of driving the Russians out.
“It can only do it if the West provides political will, money at about $5 to 6 billion a month, weapons like long-range artillery, the ammunition that supports that artillery and then enables the logistics and medical support that allows Ukraine to build a million-strong army,” said Barrons, co-chair of the consulting group Universal Defence & Security Solutions.
Reports are Ukraine's much talked about offensive to retake Kehrson region has started.

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.
