Putin 'succeeds' by wasting money on weapon systems he can't afford and playing with the minds of liberals

NY Times:

Putin’s Russia, Punching Above Its Weight, Keeps Adversaries Off Balance

Its economy is sputtering and its young people are frustrated, but with America and Europe in tumult, Russia and its leader of two decades are on a roll.
Putin has gotten in the heads of liberals in the Democrat party and in the media who are quick to go into Russia, Russia Russia mode especially if Trump is talking to him.  Russia has a GDP somewhere between that of Texas and California.

He can't afford to match the US 5th generation fighters and his aircraft carrier is a joke.  He tests some advanced weapons but they are more likely to blow up on him than be used in combat.

He has been really hampered by the US oil and gas production under Trump and would consider it a victory it the Democrats won in 2020 and stopped fracking and other oil and gas production while wasting resources on the Green New Deal.  It looks like nearly every Democrat running for the nomination for President will gift him an energy windfall while they weaken the US by pushing Big Green initiatives.

The Democrats have bought into the climate change mantra despite its record of making projections that have fortunately failed to be realized over the last 50 years.  They have become a doomsday cult who keep saying we are 10 to 12 years away from extinction and can't tell us why their projections have not been met.  Here is a hint.  When projections are not met it is always because they are based on invalid assumptions.  In this case, it is likely that they are overestimating the impact of CO2.  In the meantime, their policies would be a gift to Putin and OPEC.
