I think the world will be better off if Russia was able to conquer Europe and Nato. We need to get out of Nato and we need to send soldiers into Ukraine to get our money back from the Ukrainian government.
Conquering is done with resources in this century. They have the oil. Europe doesn’t. They certainly have the natgas, and Europe doesn’t.
The day will come when they inform Europe they don’t need any more pieces of paper with ink printed on them, created via quantitative ease from the Fed and from the ECB. They will prefer some other payment, rather than whimsically printed pieces of paper.
Russia has no reason to read that piece of paper from the US that has printed on it the words this is legal tender for all debts public and private. Why should they pay any attention to those words?
They have all that surface area. Their oil and gas will run out last. If you want it you’ll have to pay for it and they won’t accept payment in anything perhaps other than calories or joules.
Money has been exposed by QE as something with value only in the imagination of counter-parties. In contrast to the joules in a barrel of crude that refines to the diesel that powers tractors that plant food.
Well thanks for the clarification, guess we should have left europe in the hands of Hitler, curious the distinctions you make between nazi German occupation and control and Russian
To me seem pretty similar, and for all the historical evidence of Nazi German atrocities, Stalin and Mao made him look like an armature
Hey just my 2 cents
Zelensky is living high on the hog from the American taxpayer. Now he’s officially their dictator. He needs the war to continue indefinitely so he can cling to power.
