It is a somewhat simplistic description of a piece of a much larger puzzle.

Obviously Eastern Europeans have been feuding amongst themselves for millennia and it serves various interests to stir this up, as a way to push Russia into a corner, but what will the long term consequences be? Will Germany and France accede to their foreign policies, not mention sources of energy and raw materials, be dictated by Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, etc? I suspect that part of the puzzle will come seriously unglued over time.

When the Republicans win the House and Senate and the investigations switch from Republican skullduggery to Democratic skullduggery, do the antics of Hunter and family get swept under the rug, because the narrative demands? Unfortunately Ockham's razor suggests otherwise. Honor among thieves....

Do all those Middle Eastern and African countries just starve their populations quietly, or is it further structural meltdown?

Are many of the Third World countries currently hesitant to vilify Russia going to eventually jump on the bandwagon, or start coalescing against Western financial interests that seem to have the most influence in driving this conflict? After a few centuries of colonialism and a few decades of Nato and the US overthrowing other third world countries just because they could, with little actual strategic planning, it does seem doubtful.

Then there is the whole debt issue, not to mention many of our recent weapons systems are evidently designed more to extract money from the government, than any actual strategic function than said wars.

Believe it or not, but chest thumping doesn't actually win wars and when the dust does settle, a lot of dreams will go up in smoke.

The mother of all reality checks is in the mail.
