LOL.
Now there are claims that somehow Russia will start lobbing NUKES around? Based on what? This is pure fantasy.
And you might want to think carefully about the petroleum markets and production. It's not as clear cut as you seem to be implying.
And have we found, yet, any tangible benefits for physically involving ourselves in the Ukraine? Any? Anything other than vague and inapt historical references and philosophical positioning?
