If Russia destroys the country's power and communications grids, they are also shutting down their own source of money, and simultaneously lose the leverage they have over Europe.

I agree completely with your assessment. Putin is probably 5 steps ahead of the woke warriors in NATO and here as well. The leader of the free world is a senile old sock puppet that does whatever his wife and advisers tell him to. He intentionally gave the green light to Putin when he said that a “minor incursion” would be tolerated.

That sounds a lot like what happened a few weeks before Saddam’s invation of Kuwait. Bush 41 admin quietly said “Not our concern” when asked how we would respond.
