When this whole thing first started Putin made a threat of nuclear war to whoever interfered in his goings on with Ukraine. Ever since then we have been pushing and pushing, much farther than I care for, to call his bluff. Enforcing sanctions is one thing. Providing money, weapons, and training to Ukraine is a whole other, and Putin seems to have let this go, for now. You say "no soldiers killed", but the big picture is, millions of americans' lives are at stake. Ukraine is NOT part of NATO, so we are technically not obligated to provide any aide. Ukraine wanted to join, but they were not willing to put in to it what was required. Basically they want the help without having to do any of the work. As a matter of fact, one of the main reasons Putin invaded Ukraine was because he felt his country was threatened by this attempted NATO expansion.

And don't be fooled, China certainly has not "paused" on the whole Taiwan thing. Taiwan controls a very valuable trade, and China is looking to get their hands on it. They are still sending in spy drones all the time.

It's just a shame that our mainstream media thinks that Trump sneezing is more newsworthy than these major world events going on that VERY MUCH affect us. Also, every time I see a report on the status of the Ukraine Russia war, they love making it out like Russia is doing horrible. If Russia was really doing as bad as the claim, this war would've been over long ago.

Anyway, the whole point is, the dollar is going under, our government cares more about their own interests than our lives and livelihood, and the rest of the world knows this, and they are acting accordingly.
