What a folly the Ukraine war has become for NATO including us. Do not believe that Russia has run out of bullets or that the Russian economy is suffering. The suffering is happening in Europe, particularly in Germany and France. Reading Doug Macgregor’s reporting could have been edifying; I certainly left links that could have restructured your thinking about the entire calamity. Not accepting being wrong gracefully is a sign of hubris, the fatal flaw of Greek mythological heroes.
I rather enjoy the brash James Kunstler’s essays. Here’s one that sizes up well about what is going on in Europe. Bid farewell to NATO. Russia hold all the cards.
