The USA has been using NATO to BULLY Russia + HUMILIATE President Putin. The U.S. anti-Russian propaganda goes all the way back to 2014 Russian Sochi Olympics boycotted by NATO countries. ALL THIS HAS BEEN DONE TO ISOLATE President Putin + make him FEEL SMALL. This VICIOUS, RABID anti-Russian approach has caused the USA to loose face with many countries + breaking the U.S. BANK. And the losses for THE AMERICANS keep piling up: a weakening U.S. dollar no longer "the" reserve currency of choice + a negative trend in the U.S. market place that will wipe out U.S. banks. :D Ken, Toronto, CANADA
