In the morning, it was 450 dead. The new Biden sanctions submitted few hours ago forced Russia to escalate negotiations. Putin will soon evaporate over $500 billion from economy!
Haven't the Europeans (Germans) and even the US refused to kick them out of SWIFT? See, even with the sanctions, they're being super careful, not just hitting Russia fwa fwa hivyo.
I'll repeat what I said in the other thread: Taiwan better watch with all their eyes all the way open 👀. If your neighbor is a military giant, keeping peace with them is more important than pleasing a distant military giant, even if it's much bigger than your neighbor, coz only rarely will you be important enough to that distant giant to fight a war (with your near giant) for.
EDIT: In fact, I'll just go out on a limb and say, if you're not Britain, Germany, or France, don't go around assuming Americans will come running to fight a nuclear power on your behalf. Just assume they won't, if push comes to shove, and proceed wisely (with that sober reality in mind).
