OPEC Will Roast Putin’s Dream on Slow Fire

Here is why the cartel will turn on Putin
The first time I spent quite a bit of time scratching my head this year was when I heard Eastern European Nazis were cooperating with Western Allies to take on the Soviet Union.
The second time, instead of scratching, my head sunk into my hands when the Russian government accused Ukraine of collaborating with the United States to develop biological weapons.
It’s impossible to find another country that uses chemical and biological weapons to snuff out their enemies like Russia. Their history is simply checkered.
- In March 2018, “former KGB officer and defector, Sergei Skripal, was poisoned along with his daughter by the nerve agent Novichok” in Salisbury, U.K. As expected Russia denied, but “investigators concluded it was the work of two officers from Russia’s GRU military intelligence and as a result 128 Russian spies and diplomats were expelled from several countries”.
- The dictator of Syria is still in power because of Russian arms, money and support. He carried out dozens of chemical attacks on his own people. Of-course Putin will have no idea about it.
- In August 2020, “the prominent Russian opposition activist Alexei Navalny was also poisoned with Novichok and narrowly escaped death”.
