Yeh, that's definitely something. Russia's mobilization is gonna do jack against precision artillery, and DC is now talking about Ukraine's chances of retaking Crimea. The strategic nuke thing is a real possibility as Putin's last option (besides, you know, doing the normal thing and admitting it's over), as is NATO's response to it. If this turns into a real NATO vs Russia war, wow who knows how this will play out?

So about 10 doses?

It's hard to predict how Trump's presidency will impact Ukraine, especially with tensions rising. If Russia feels unsatisfied, there's definitely a risk of escalation. I hope Ukraine continues to get support from international allies. I follow the news about various projects of the Ukrainian entities like the public organization Algorytm NGO https://algorytm.ngo/en and I know they do their best to to promote peace and support communities affected by these conflicts. But I'm not sure it is enough.

My guess is US contribution will diminish and EU and others increase?

I’ve heard one person isn’t even a grain of sand on the beach but we know there are a few that impact the world.

My EU friends truly believed Russia had changed and was no longer an outside threat and EU was eager to do business with Russia.

It is a hard lesson that in 2024 not much has changed on the world order…

The lesson is more, imo, that the UN proven once again to be a feckless waste of resources. The whole point was to stop this sort of war of aggression. ALL the member nations were supposed to be unified on this one issue.

There is literally no reason for the UN to exist any longer. If Russia was completely isolated, maybe things could be different. Sadly for the people in Ukraine, nothing will solve this in a good way.

Ukraine isn't run by saints, but the problems there stem primarily from the deliberate push by Russia to relocate ethnic Russians into Ukraine when USSR was still around. It's their allegiance to Russia that is the root problem.

International relations: A poker game where everyone cheats, lies and bluffs hard. I expect Trump to disrespect the rest of NATO, and threaten to pull all support. At which point NATO proceeds to call Russias bluff, and attacks, while China takes all of Manchuria, and the eastern Russian Aliance member/cooperator states breakaway.

From what I've read the first nuke strikes will be to take out the satellites, in particular the ones that provide GPS.

Russia and China have ground-based alternatives to GPS.

We used to have LORAN and may have an upgraded version in the future but for now, nada.

This will impact shipping, trucking, farming, etc.

Why destroy us when they can cripple us and make us dependant?

There won't be a single nuke strikes, one will be answer with thousands leading us to a nuclear winter and to the stone age and the end of the world we know, shipping and farming will be the least of our worry.
