You sure it isn't the West that's about to have its own reality check?

Looking at England as the canary in the coal mine, by the time the Republicans play Russiagate in reverse for the next two years, from Hunter to Hillary and the Germans pretty much have to shut down their industry and ship it off to someplace with adequate sources of energy, France gets totally pushed out of Africa and the Saudis buddy up with Russia, it seems our side has more issues to deal with.

Not saying the Russians don't have problems, but at least they are not going to be freezing this winter.

If you are going to play chess, you have to look at both sides of the board objectively.
