AND this time we dont have ANYONE in WASHINGTON with balls to deal with this situation!
Believe me, if this thing blows up, European politicians won't be able to deal with it either. The idiots here do not even know that they are becoming more and more the active target of Putin.
It may very well be that the EU decides today to sanction Russian gas and oil and no longer import.
This would have the consequence that probably in the next week thousands of workers lose their jobs, thousands of companies close and tens of thousands of people end up on the street because you can no longer pay the energy prices and rents. The governments here know that, but you pull the hardcore through, the big reset greets.
The irony is that even if Europe stops buying oil from Russia next week, Europe still has to pay for it, you have supply contracts here with a purchase guarantee, even if you don't buy it.
The next few days will be turbulent, and if weapons systems continue to be given to Ukraine (taxpayers in Germany are financing this) and Ukrainian soldiers are trained in Europe, this will be a reason for Russia to strike back at some point.
Putin may be an idiot, but he will not pull out of Ukraine lost, if the West pushes him to the wall with weapons supplies, he will strike back.
If the West thinks that if Putin is overthrown everything will be better, the West could be very wrong, there are figures in Russia who openly say that they would make short work of opponents, that is, in the nuclear way.
I never hope that one of them will ever come to power in Russia, then we will have a problem.
