Russia has declared WAR on Ukraine as expected and this will be an ugly conflict [see photo]. This is the result of corrupt politics in Ukraine, Europe, USA, etc which has allowed Russia to run free.
In an age when ideological nonsense out ranks common sense; Europe is about to endure unnecessary hardships as corrupt and incompetent politicians hurl a barrage of words against the guns from Moscow.
This battle in Ukraine might be short live but this WAR will likely last for a decade.
The cost of energy is about to rise sharply at the precise time when it should be stable or in decline. Europe has raised energy cost as a deliberate public policy as decision-makers repeat their mantra that "ideology trumps logic". Energy is about to become an expensive, and a scarce, commodity all over Europe. The standard of living across Europe will decline swiftly due to the hubris of decision-makers in Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, etc.
The news reports on this conflict are about the territorial gains by a Russian army that will likely take Ukraine in a rout. However... Real news will begin when we ask "where to next for Russia?" Ask "will the CCP feel emboldened to invade Taiwan?" Ask "will the political ideologues who created global inflation take deliberate and positive steps to stop it?" Ask "how will the life of you, and your friends, be directly affected by this WAR in Europe?"
