The post brings a lot of sanity and intellectual clarity to the whole of Russian’s uncalled for invasion of Ukraine.
Its not about the bucks, its about the will. Europe has no stomach for war, Russia does. America—even with all the hate Putin-Hitler, the Americans do not want war. Who will fight? Illegal aliens? Metrosexuals? Women? There is no unity in the west to wage any kind of war. Russia has the will (for now) they are not like us—this is true of China as well as other lands. We zoom into WW III we may well be walking into a snake pit of problems—This one wee could lose and our vaunted Economic power could vanish overnight as in 1929-30.
