I fully expect, the longer this conflict becomes unresolved, the more brutal it will be locally and more dangerous it will become worldwide.
I call this conflict the “Green War”. This conflict is being fed by oil revenue profit which has dramatically increased because of Biden’s “Green” policies of anti-US and anti-Canada energy production. High oil prices increase profit margin for Russia, Venezuela, and Iran. Those profits will be used to expand territory or attack US interests. People in this nation should realize that unrestricted growth of NATO, and restricted energy production in the US are the main causes of this conflict.
Solving the Ukraine crisis, means it cannot be ‘resolved’ until the Russians see no profit from the invasion and no improvement in security. The first step in this is to decrease the price of oil by massive drilling and pumping in the United States, supplying NATO allies. The second portion of this is to return all Russian weapons to the Ukraine side of the Polish border, arming the Ukrainians with old Soviet Block weapons. The last part, security for Russia, is the realization that Nuclear Armageddon still awaits anyone who invades Russia.
This has become a total disaster for Putin, militarily.
He expected a one day war, two days tops.
He also expected the Ukrainian military to surrender in droves and the people to welcome them as ‘Liberators’, like the Americans rolling into Paris in 1944..................
