    The problem NATO has with this proxy war can’t be solved by printing money. The issue lies in the lack of industrial production in the west, and you can’t just create a huge industry for producing weapons and ammunition out of whole cloth.

    This will be a fantastic vehicle for pushing for austerity in Europe though. The oligarchs have been very upset that Europeans enjoy a social safety net and things like pensions. The need for massive military spending will be a perfect justification for stripping these rights away from the workers. Europeans are about to start enjoying American style freedoms.

    Every dollar that goes to funding nazis in Ukraine for a war they have no chance of winning is a dollar that can’t go towards funding genocide in the middle east. Of course that money should be going into public services instead, but as if they are ever going to allow that to happen.

    EDIT: NATO nazis were fast to pounce on this one, HA!

    Doesn’t it take only 1 of the counties with veto power to shut this down? Why would Russia ever approve?

    Edit: Had a brain fart. Thanks for the corrections. Leaving my dumb comment anyway.

      NATO. Not the UN. Russia has no say into nato since it was designed to fit Russia.
