Russia replaces its Defense Minister with an economist. 

While MSM keeps a narrow focus on Ukraine, is Ukraine just a tactic part of a larger economic assault on the US and its allies? Thinking longer term, was the Cold War nothing but an economic war? 

And, then more recently, remember that before the stock market fell in early 2020 due to the Covid narrative, it first went down limit over a couple days due to Russia manipulating the price of oil down to levels unsustainable for highly leveraged shale producers, seeking to put them out of business.

Then, Covid causes the entire US economy to become over leveraged. And now Russia has an economist formally calling the next shots.

It seems Ukraine is a side show, part of a larger attack on the US economy, those reliant on it, and the USD.
