In yet another reveal that the Russian is not going to be easily mollified or satiated in his quest for ambitions of avarice or other manifestations of returning the Russian empire he once knew and desires desparately to regain its former dominance and influences, how many more 'red lines' does it appear before he gets his way and have cause to exercise the 'nuclear' option?
Germany is not alone in signalling friendship with the Ukraine, yet Germany is singled out for one very important reason, they dared to take a stand against the Russian's warnings not to interfere and the NORD relationship, as well as other Russian assets in Germany, have brought about many millions of reasons that many might consider sufficient cause: but what is taking so long? That many who consider the Russian stepping over a line himself in biting off more than that which was thought to be sufficient on his terms has now brought the entirety of a global situation to teh forefront: and who is really ready to take those chances?
This really needs to be figured out quickly; and the other caveat: do not expect an answer that the 46th American Administrative Chief Executve might proffer: it is any empty thought that has already exceeded the ability of the United States to back up; except to back up.
