The real question is, just how much of a correction this go-round? Are we gonna go ahead and correct it all the way, or is this an attention getter for the time being?
Ukraine was just a cesspool being yanked around for business deals, entrapment via trafficking, etc. PDJT's presidency helped get them freed from a lot of that, and Russia appears to be taking over and helping get the place cleaned up a bit. This entire "crisis" is being used as optics to expose a crap ton of what's going on with the Biden admin, the ineptitude and lack of purpose of NATO, and to give global partners to the awakening a chance to get everything cleaned up the way it should be.
Same as Afghanistan, yes. The people that are getting left behind in all these places? I still haven't seen anyone doing any real digs on who they are.
