There are times, or perhaps more accurately, there is an age, beyond which one appreciates the value of prudence. In hopes the adage 'cooler heads will prevail’ has any truth to it, I believe they will. And if adages are a thing, 'the best defence is a good offence.’ Russia is going to continue NATO air space incursions until a reaction is provoked. Worst case scenario, R provokes EU to declare article 5. US, as long as T is in charge, will declare neutrality, (thereby leaving NATO), and giving P a hard deadline. What’s left of NATO will be in a face off with Russia. Australia, NZ, and Japan come to NATO’s aid. This draws China in.

To whoever remains alive, 'go the spoils’. Where will Canada fall and what would happen to Canada US relations as a result? Could Canadians wake up one day to find themselves living right up next to the new iron curtain? How would a preemptive strike by EU change this scenario? What about the loose cannons rolling around the Middle East, especially our good friend Mr N? Could it offer P an off-ramp by accepting the Donbas in exchange for an end to the war in Ukraine. Could Ukraine negotiate NATO/EU membership in the deal? Keeping Israel and China out it should be paramount. Could Republicans use this to win elections? #globalconflict #internationalrelations
