Isn't that interesting. People I know here think Russia wants to take over Europe militarily (while its already taken over militarily by the US) when all Russia want to do is allow countries to use their own currencies in trade. This has world wide appeal as every one hates the Caucasian imperialists, even us Caucasian imperialists. Do Ukrainians really want to die to make Ukraine into a new British colony, the new Israel? Guess who wants that here? (Hollywood)

The EU and UK have 500 million people. If Russia decides to take western Europe and those 500 million aren't enough to stop Russia then they deserve to be conquered.

Estonia and Latvia are trying really hard to make a case for why they should get steam rolled by Russia/Belarus. Probably the only people that would care would be the Lithuanians. The rest of European NATO will declare Article 5 is in effect and deliver the 42 round of sanctions, pallets of water and strongly worded condemnations.

I don't think most of the surplus Ukrainians currently serving are too keen on dying for either Ukraine or NATO. They are between the rock and the hard place. In chess it's called a zugzwamg, black's move and all of the options are bad.

We pretty much insured other nations would look for alternatives other than the dollar by our short-sighted actions. The fool Rubio, my Senator, even gave an interview about how losing dollar dominance would prevent an economic sanctions club from being used and that was a bad thing. You can't fix stupid.
