Re: The impact of Russian and Ukrain war on world economy
Is there anyone who really thinks that this war is Ukraine VS Russia instead of US/NATO vs Russia?
Yes, this thread is full of Ukrainian trolls who seriously think like that. 
Russians are also different breed. While Europeans don't want to come out of comfort zone and love their stable salary and good healthcare, Russians don't care much about that, they are willing to eat the cheapest thing in order to achieve what they want (this is the conclusion that I made, might be wrong but doesn't apply every Russian).
Exactly this! I mentioned this back in 2022 when the war started. This is exactly the reason why sanctions don't work and will never work on them.By the way, I also think that Trump wants to spend less and force Europe to spend more but I think that this is an indicator of the US no longer being capable to be a leader worldwide. If Europe spends more in military and gets stronger, it won't be the best thing that USA wants.
The truth is they can't spend more as they're broke. Biggest EU economies depended on cheap Russian fuel. Now they can barely stay afloat let alone spend more on the military. Oh no, there is one way - start printing Euros like there's no tomorrow (like the US did during Biden).
