I read most of the story, and every time I read the word “Ukraine” I thought of Europe and global powers. The same groups that has had negative influence on the USA for decades. Ukraine and a bunch of other nations of land were always part of Russia. And it seems Europe wants them.
The old post WW II system ran its course, it bankrupted the USA and made visible in the summer of 2008. And more so with Covid and the need to print money en mass with a $30 trillion national debt and fingers crossed. LOL.
If the USA ever declared its independence, like it almost did with Trump, “they” or “who” would come after us? Would they call our new gov’t a leftist dictatorship? Like they have in the past when a country throws out the status quo leader? Because their economy tanked like Venezuela did when Oil tanked from $145/bbl to $28/bbl. Oil was their bread and butter.
