The Russia-Ukraine war is the main stress on energy and manufacturing in Europe related in a good part to (Natural Gas).along with poor timing planning for Green Energy.
One thing with the population being arms supported by other countries is that as long as the arms come in the attacked country can fight until the last man, woman and child are dead, and the country is in ruin. Army against Army is a limited war.
The providing countries may think they are doing good because the tragedy does not directly harm them (hopefully).
Ukraine could have joined NATO, but chose not to perhaps seeking better gas prices, or friendship with Russia, a poor decision that went bad.
Now we and others are trying to rectify Ukraine's error, at the chance of getting involved.
I think there is a 50/50 chance that Putin's last grand stand may be something really stupid. Russian people's children are being killed, which does not bide well with the Russian parents.. We can blame Putin but who do the Russians blame, likely they blame the helping countries. The war would be now over if everybody let Ukraine not get unlimited arms resources. likely a big factor in the stock market being down, It is possible the world's leaders may think that a bigger war may happen.
We may be playing a game of chance with a coin flip.
Some big wiggs don't like illegal immigrants being dropped in their neighborhood...how are they going to feel with a bomb being dropped? Government people think they can go to their sanctuary, but they won't even have time to turn off their computers, enemy Nukes are offshore about 12 minutes away.
