This is actually at the center of “our empire”. Precisely the issue at the center of the “Pax Americana”.
***************
Not the way I see it.
Here are the most important spheres to the United States in order.
1) Western Hemisphere
2) Asia
3) Middle East
4) Europa
Also, I’m not a fan of Pax Americana the European edition, it’s too expensive.
Too expensive if we fight,too expensive if we fund the fight, too expensive either way.
No further comment necessary.
Its your privilege to disagree. But history makes its own case, IMHO.
This business of Ukraine is not a small matter, and would be a terrible precedent. Yes there are dominos.
Whatever the US spends, it is better than another world War. That would be the inevitable cost of a challenge to the Pax Americana.
4) Europa???
Europa is a moon of Jupiter.
