Your forecast of the future is quite as lovely as all those other forecasts of the future, such as how hot it will be in a century's time, or the coming next "dark winter" wave of ER patients.
Europe is about 700 million, with the EU member states being a large portion of that, while the US is half that population. If this is a "European war" as you see it, then Europe's "twice the population" should be carrying twice the burden of the US, but it is not.
Asserting that some but not all non-NATO nations are European is all well and good, but the Ukraine-Russia war is a non-NATO affair, and there are those who assert that Ukraine is Slavic-Asian rather than European in many senses, in the same sense that the land southern to it is Turkey, a Muslim nation, part of NATO and yet oddly not part of "Europe" in the same sense as many speak of Europe.
What is certain is that the families of the Bidens, Pelosis, Kerrys and Romneys all were pocketing large amounts of money in corrupt, non-NATO Ukraine, so in some sense one could argue Ukraine is quite American, in the Democrat and RINO sense of the word. You seem fine with the American involvement, after all, rather like the Bidens.
I cannot foretell the outcome of the non-NATO Ukraine-Russia war any more than I can foretell the temperature in 2100. But I can foretell that the post -- which I observed in the list of posts on FR -- adjacent to this post and its thread speaks about massive, massive American debt and unfunded liabilities. Seems quite a threat which is observable, immediate. A truly serious concern, but then what the heck? After all, we've got a credit card....
Arithmetic and language can both be messes.
You really do just ramble all over the place.
Thank you for another cogent and well-reasoned reply.
It would be nice if you would try making them, rather than throwing everything but the kitchen sink into your rambling, unfocused posts where you bring up all of your pet peeves at once.
172 trillion in unfunded liabilities is a pet peeve?
As I began ny rambling, unfocised posts, "It seems interesting that this daily posts appears in the rota next to "MMT Alert! US Debt At $10.7 Trillion In Q4 2008, Now At $30.6 Trillion, +186% In 14 Years (M2 Money UP +162.5%) US Unfunded Liabilities At $172.4 TRILLION!" posted by Kaiser8408a.

A sizeable pet peeve. A portion of which the "f*ck Europe" neocons want to continue to fund a non-NATO project for the Biden White House.
Aren’t most it all boils down to my tribe vs yours even on the conservative side
I don’t understand the question, can you rephrase it?
One Russian tank lost in November?
Oryx does not seem to be on the job .
If the pattern holds, Russia will fire another barrage against the Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during the Monday morning rush hours in Kyiv - around midnight tonight on the US East Coast.
Safe journey.
I don't take the shits, I just disturb 'em.
Freezing nights coming next week in the Ukraine.
"Ukraine confirms that is has now received “heavy long-range artillery from Italy”. 6x PzH 2000 and 2x M270 MLRS have been sent to Kyiv. Giorgio Meloni’s new government is also preparing a 6th military aid package that is expected to be approved in the coming days."

“Several media have been reporting about a base or unit launching Shahed-136 drones at Ukraine being destroyed in the town of Herois’ke.”
Maybe trying to disrupt the Monday morning wave attack on Ukraine’s power grid, like they did last weekend, attacking the missile ships in Sevastopol.

“THIS IS THE ENEMY: Since February, RU has damaged or destroyed more that 1,100 Ukrainian clinics and hospitals. 90% of RU precision strike munitions are deliberately aimed at Ukrainian civilian and not military targets. This terrorism is unparalleled in modern military history.”
@ChuckPfarrer
“CORRECTION: It is reported that the Stormshadow missile is presently NOT in service with the Polish air force’s Su or MiG fighters. Two serving Polish officers have dismissed this report as fake news.”
I believe it is true that Polish Su or MiG aircraft have not been modified to carry Stormshadow missiles. However, if France, UK, or Italy wanted to donate some Stormshadow missiles, then Poland would be the logical choice to help integrate them into Ukraine's MiGs.
I would guess that the Ukrainian MiGs that have been modified to carry HARMs would be able to carry and launch Stormshadows with minimal changes.
I would not totally discount the report.
