Back in The U.S.S.R.

You could say that many of today’s problems can be attributed to the Boomer Generation. But despite the blame, Boomers can take comfort in knowing they still produced the best music of all time.  Cue up:  The Beatles * classic hit “Back in the U.S.S.R.”

(* Millennials should consult your parents or grandparents about the Beatles)

Ironically (or NOT) Ukraine today is looking as if they just might soon be Back in the U.S.S.R.

And since Stinky Joe is hell bent on having a war with Russia – hopefully not WWIII – it’s only fair that we look at a tale of the tape between Putin and Biden.

Putin:

1. Years as president – 19
2. Life before politics – Lieutenant Colonel in KGB Intelligence
3. Languages spoken fluently:  Russian, German, English, and possibly more
4. Economic accomplishments in first year term:  Grew Russian GDP over 72%, Tripled Wages, Cut Unemployment in half
5. Oil production views:  Massive investment in growth and export
6. Desired form of government:  Authoritative
7. Hobbies: Judo Master, Karate Black Belt, Horseback Riding and Whitewater rafting

Biden:

1. Years as president:  1
2. Life before politics:  None…Career Politician
3. Languages Spoken Fluently:  English (only with aid of teleprompters) Incoherent Combative English (without teleprompters)
4. Economic accomplishments in first year term:  Grew US GDP by 6%…offset by record inflation growth of 7.5%
5. Oil production views:  Complete shutdown until the supply chain fails
6. Desired form of government:  Mob rule Democracy with belligerent minority undercurrent
7. Hobbies:  Campaigning for future offices

We’re Back in the U.S.S.R.

Sad to say that there are still sheeple out there who think Stinky Joe is doing a great job.

And they buy the narrative that Putin is evil and wants to take over Ukraine.

The truth is he’s simply protecting the ethnic Russians – who want his protection – who’ve been suppressed by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy since 2014.

Putin is nobody’s fool.

And as the Beatles prophetically said:

Well,
The Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind (Da, da, da)
And Moscow girls make me sing and  

That Georgia’s* always on
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my mind

( *In case you missed it; Putin took back the province of Georgia under the Baby Bush administration.  Then took back Crimea under the Obama administration and –like Ukraine – they were both ethnic Russian territories)

Ironically (or NOT) Putin didn’t make any obvious moves while Trump was president.

But now he has center stage of the world.

As a result, the presstitutes will use this as a way invoke fear of a Global Thermonuclear War.

Don’t take the bait.

Instead look for opportunities in stocks resulting from the Boyz wanting you to “Look Here, Not There.”

And be sure to read our article “How and Why Putin Came to Power” in our March newsletter (HERE).

Share this with a friend…especially if they like the Beatles

And they’ll thank YOU later.

P.S.  Meanwhile, Ukrainians are singing in the background:

Been away so long, I hardly knew the place
Gee, it’s good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey, disconnect the phone

I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
You don’t know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the U.S.
Back in the U.S.
Back in the U.S.S.R.
