That is a good question! KJ isn't interested in expanding his economy, he is perfectly happy to keep his hermit kingdom dumb, and skinny.
Not Pooty-Poot! He is attempting to use nuclear blackmail to expand over his neighbors; kinda like Hitler did with the threat of conventional war. It has surprised me that most of the world has stood up to him in all honesty. Of course, standing up to him so far, means trying to bring down his economy, but that is still very, very, good.
The only people physically fighting this war is the Ukrainians. We must feel for them and understand that--------> every week, every day, every hour, every minute they hold out, no negotiations will hapto cut pen to start the political rehabilitation of Russia in the worlds eyes, which would then cause the EU to change back eventually, to business as usual with Pooty.
God bless the people of the Ukraine, they are alone fighting for the freedoms of the citizens of the EU.
