geopolitics

Vladimir Putin announced that Moscow was suspending participation in a treaty with the United States limits their numbers of strategic nuclear warheads.

On this day in 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima in Japan. Between 70,000–80,000 people were killed by the blast and resultant firestorm.

One of the questions we should always ask ourselves is "what if we get what we want?"

Let me give you some examples.

Many people wanted Donald Trump impeached as US president.

For decades, Russia has been selling natural gas to countries in Europe.

Initially, those countries would pay Russia in their own currencies (Example: Germany using Deutschmarks).

In the modern era, those payments have been made in Euros.

This year, after Russia began its “special military operation” inside Ukraine, member countries of the European Union imposed economic sanctions against most Russian products, but left the door open for members to continue buying natural gas from Russia.
