You have been hit on the chin too often Bruce, and it apparently isn't as rock solid as you believe it to be.

I guess we will just wait and see, because apparently you do not keep current with anything other than the conflict.

Perhaps you should read this:

United Kingdom Is Next in the Cascade of Collapse

Let's define the actions.

Russia has cut off the EU from energy. Their economies need energy to survive. Biden cutoff our oil independence, which means we cannot step in and help Europe. Because we are no longer free of oil dependency, we too are seeing fallout from that as well, in higher prices across the board, except housing which is now falling. People are behind on their mortgages, rents, electricity payments, and struggling on food. Soon, the homeless situation ans starvation numbers will start increasing dynamically.

When you couple that with our debt load, the invasion along our southern border, it only puts more of a strain on our finances. While you are correct that much of the western nations have self-inflicted the pains upon themselves, this conflict is just one more example of that very thing, and you just do not get it. But do not think that Russia has not played a part in exacerbating that situation.

So, you brilliantly assume we can keep going down the path of destruction and there will be no consequences. That's pure insanity.

That is not my point at all, although I think we are doomed to the consequences of our long-term crappy economic choices regardless of our support of Ukraine. That's a comparative drop in the bucket.

The discussion was about Russia and what is going to happen in this particular war. And whatever those eventual, larger economic consequences will be, they are not going to happen quickly enough to impact military support to Ukraine from either the United States or any other European nations.

Russia has tried and failed to stop the West from assisting Ukraine. I don't see how that is even arguable at this point.
