Ukraine is actually helping to keep crude prices relatively lower by forcing Russia to put out more crude on the world market since they can't refine it themselves as much anymore.
buffers much lower
~90 million people, ~950,000 troops, 3x the size of Iraq
lots of mountains and desert
how many dead Americans is Trump willing to stand on to create the perception of a win?
can't be done without boots on the ground or nukes
Fortunately, Trump's dying will be an opportunity to pull out of this particular death spiral.
I wouldn't count on that happening promptly, but it would be an opportunity for the USA to stop doing something stupid
honestly, I think Trump started the chaos too soon, the bad economic effects will arrive well before 2028
blaming the resulting mess on Dems might not work this time, not like when he surrendered to the Taliban and threw it in Biden's lap
(in fairness to Donald Trump, in his dishonest, scheming mind, he may not have meant to honor his deal with the Taliban)
(didn't count on getting thumped by Biden at the polls in 2020)
