All this shows to me is that the greater the level of hate, the greater the level of irrational behavior and the likelihood that real mistakes will be made. Both republicans and democrats are becoming one and the same and without the voices of reason (big corp and the fed) being able to reign in the government, their is a real risk that the bottom line will fall out from under them. Did Europe realize that if they cut Russia off from swift or if they sanction them enough that maybe Russia will cut the gas to Europe completely because they do have other more reliable customers in Asia who don’t complain about these so called rights that they spit on all the time in the last 2 decades of helping the USA in the Middle East. Sure they get one small win for the woke crowd but is it worth starving to death or freezing to death from the lack of food/gas that is critical to Europe right now. Sure they might try to tap the Middle East but really would the Arabs trade their resources for cheap when resources scarcity for Europe will be a thing. In that situation that will forced use the Middle East alone, a region that can easily be disrupted by terrorist activity as shown in Saudi Arabia and the drones to the oil plant incident. Hence Europe has no choice but to rely on the USA for everything at the very end but does the USA have the resources or the manufacturing base or the low cost production to enable such a thing, especially with the supply chain problems and infrastructure breaking down to worry about and Biden having no real plan to fix or implement such a plan except pinning the blame on others. All these western actions are pretty much the standard sort of deal that has been used in the past and really, none of those action have dampened these nations resolve not to be a slave of the USA.
the governments of the UK and the USA can do whatever it wants but in the event that these massive corporations decide to close shop due to lack of profits and the government not even caring about their concerns at all, they will leave the government to ruin themselves with all of there money as none of these billionaires are loyal to America. And the fed will eventually bring down the stock mark eventually when the gig is up since the government is showing themselves to be a bad player in regards simply having no regards for the economic health of the nation and also having very little care about the consequences. The USA has operated on a tangent that essentially says my way or the high way but really if they cannot handle Afghanistan or even Ukraine, what hope do they have to handle China without losing everything they have ever built. The USA is rapidly running out of options because if they are truly seriously on saving Ukraine, they have failed badly to prepare for such a scenario otherwise they would’ve had troops on the ground and real weapons ready to protect the nation. Sanctions only go so far and even that is cut down enough for Putin to not use the nuclear option and simply get out of swift and only except rubes for the oil instead of US dollars or Euros. This situation shows how little courage they really have.
