On that note,

This is obviously a European conflict and a European concern primarily. It is only an American concern insofar as the % of hypnotized idiots or vested/interested parties who benefit from the performative nonsense of supporting the continuation of the war. Whether or not Russia has a little more Black Sea coastline is extremely minimal impact on the US geopolitical standing in the world.

Now try to imagine there's a similar border conflict happening with Mexico or Canada. (I understand this extremely far-fetched, but hear me out for the example) How would the vast majority of Europeans react? They would throw their full weight and support behind Mexico and/or Canada. They would flood their social media with Mexican flags and mocking posts about Americans being fat gun toting Christian hillbilly cowboys. Granted, it's unlikely they'd provide material support, but their hearts and their culture would be with the enemies of America.

Yet, they expect Americans to prostrate themselves for their conflict, their backyard while obviously, they would never return the favor. Hey Europeans? Fuck off fix your own problems.

Sincerely, USA

Lmao, than perhaps the USA should stop playing in everyone's yard using proxies left and right for their own gain or desired outcome. Then you can say it's not the USA's conflict.

in the long run the USA will be far worse for the war than EU. EU already had stagnation of economy, EU already had a import relationship to energy, EU already had a need to increase defense. this was a slight uptick.

in comparison to the USA who nuked it's own dollar dominance by seizing Russian property for political reasons. the one thing holding our financial situation together, albeit as paperclips and duct tape, was purchase of US treasury bonds to shore up dollar security. the rise of BRICS as the world looks at treasury debt as an increasingly risky investment upset the entire situation irrevocably. and we cant fix it, pandora's box is open. the democrats proved they will do it, and the world knows both parties copy each other on a 10 year timescale. so now no presidential party is safe. piss off the USA and lose your assets, so less US controlled assets will be purchased.


Investing in China, India and russia comes with some mighty big asterisks even as a citizen of those countries.

I'm not surprised you can't process a single sentence correctly.



Yeah, I experience the same feeling after watching a World Cup. I might not be able to manage Real Madrid though. I also see 95% of experts’ pre-game predictions fail.

I guess it's fine to have an opinion on things, but if we're honest, we mostly lack the relevant information or expertise to properly analyze them.
The energy sector of a continent with half a billion people is something you could spend a lifetime studying to become an expert.
I think we should learn to say, “I don’t know anything about this,” instead of dumping garbage on the internet after watching two YouTube videos.


there are some concepts that can be simply understood. i dont know much about football though so i dont comment on that.

100%. but you dont have to invest in countries. firms who may have invested in treasury bonds have plenty of other non-governmental bonds, or real estate, or gold, or BTC, or many other things. i wouldn't pivot from USA bonds to Russian bonds or even chinese stocks. but the safe money status of US bonds losing credibility will have really bad long term effects.

Ukraine Says It Won’t Give Up Land to Russia

“Not a single sane person today would sign a document to give up territory,” said Yermak, who has served as Zelensky’s chief of staff, lead negotiator, and closest aide throughout the full-scale war with Russia.

Think they stated several times that giving up on territory is against Constitution.
