Basically, Russia and Western Europe were getting along fine until the American government decided to play its typical games in Ukraine.

Now, the people of Western Europe and the U.S.A. are paying the price for the neocons insanity.

Only time will tell how big the price is going to be.



I’m betting Russia would have tried to economically destroy the US the minute it could.

And they didn’t.

Because they couldn’t.

But yes, only time will tell.
