When I see these two countries positioning and rattling sabers, it just looks like bad acting.
I think this war has been a long time coming. I think they shook hands and agreed - years ago - to go to war. now they have to act it out.
And I believe this is all around the collapse of the US dollar in favor of a Global dollar.
It wasn’t that long ago I recall reading Russia was under financial pressure due to falling oil and natural gas prices. Did they run out of cash?
