I agree, although I am not as up on the current news about this as you are. Ping me to any article you comment on, please, if you remember.
The Ukraine thing is a whole nother story.
Ukraine’s just done as it stands. It will be played as political fodder but has no bearing further than how it stands now. The EU will continue to trade and reap sufficient enough from Ukraine for them to be hopeful of being a part of the EU but it’s never going to actually happen.
I do not underestimate Ukraine. It is the spiritual cradle of Eastern Orthodoxy and Slavic civilization.
As of last weekend, the country made Western Christmas (12/25) an official holiday. (Alongside Orthodox Christmas 1/7.)
Now they have two Christmases, spiritually bridging the Christian souls of East and West. That’s Ukraine. GOD has great plans to revive the country, which is a breadbasket of sorts! Just wait and see.
