European Leadership Has a 'Mine, Mine!' Approach to Stealing Russian Cash and Taking All of the Borderland from Russia

 The European Union has decided to freeze indefinitely Russia's funds in a European Clearing House that enabled pre-war financial transactions. They hope to use the resource to finance the war and perhaps rebuild the Ukraine (the borderlands) when the war is concluded in their favor. The plan may be known as the have their cake and eat it too approach to Eastward European military and political expansion into the borderlands with Russia. That was always a bad idea of course and may return post war adverse consequences for Europe's financial trust.

China and Russia each may develop a skeptical eye about placing finances with reach of Europeans in case some possible conflict breaks out. On the other hand, if China decides some day about military takeover of Taiwan it would know that Europe would freeze its assets held in Europe, unless perhaps, the sum is so large that Europeans would be afraid of making China unhappy and losing business and they might therefor choose to abstain from substantial adverse response to an invasion of Taiwan by China.

Russia has brought litigation against the EU for freezing its resources in a Russian court knowing that a European Court like the World Court would probably make a finding in Europe's favor. Even the world court is partisan realistically. The United States might appear as a safer place to invest for nations with politics antipathetic to Europe. If the Trump administration would unfreeze the assets of Russia it has and end sanctions, China and Russia might decide to invest more in the United States than Europe in the long term; perhaps China could build an intercity high speed rail service, or infrastructure for electric platforms around city grids that are free public transit platforms that would surpass present bus formats.

Russia is pragmatic as space development and might work with the private American sector to expedite lunar base infrastructure. Russians understand cold weather better than many Americans and that knowledge can work well even in the very cold and hot extremes of the Earth's moon. Certainly one cannot look to Europe for intelligent or pragmatic politics when they have the scent of land conquest in their nostrils. They cannot allow sharing of the borderlands (the Ukraine) under any circumstance. Europe's attitude is 'mine, mine!'

N.A.T.O. Chief Wears Blinders for Ukraine (Ukrajina -The Borderland)

It was Poland that gave the name 'the borderland'- Ukrajina in the 1700s to the area today known as Ukraine

N.A.T.O. Chief Mark Rutte insists Ukraine is an independent country and has a right to have troops stationed there or join N.A.T.O. because it "is an independent country" and doesn't understand that is what the fight is about. Leadership that seems retarded or intentionally ignorant is not encouraging for the west that would like to see the issue peacefully resolved.

Russia is in opposition to foreign troops being stationed in the borderlands, and is opposed to the borderlands becoming part of N.A.T.O. Russia also wants part of the borderlands to be recognized as a part of Russia based on historical precedent. And the retarded leader of N.A.T.O. has zero understanding of the Russian position and simply asserts that Ukraine is entirely western and independent in an 'it all is ours' viewpoint regarding the big pie of chips called the borderlands that will need to be shared peaceful and profitably between Russia and the West if the potential for World War Three is to be reduced.

Russia and its leader Vladimir Putin are not at some point after a few hundred thousand more people are killed in the war going to give the pile called the borderlands entirely to the West, It just isn't going to happen. Until the west recognizes that fact the world economic and political schism is going to continue and possibly even grow and that is not in anyone's interest.

Consider the Batan Island base? Marines have put Nmesis missiles there to control Luzon Strait. They are good for 115 miles. Batan is the northernmost populated island in the Philippines. Technically it is a good place to have a circumference kill zone on Chinese incursions into the south China and Philippine Seas. That island was the first place the Japanese attacked in W.W. II, so it is another example of Generals fighting the last battle as if the next would be like it. While China would like to dominate the fisheries, oil and seafloor mining opportunities in the area, it isn't too likely to be of much significance in event of W.W. 3. President Trump isn't a dummy, yet his strategic outlook is probably more a factor of his economic outlook than developed with strategic military considerations. Europe for example would be far more secure with peace in Ukraine- sharing it with Russia, than pursuing a complete our way or no way policy of conquest in Ukraine over all Russian claims.

The U.S. Government has been rebuilding many old, abandoned airfield for a possible war with China this last year in the S.W. Pacific region. Many airfields would make it harder for China to take all of them out. Aircraft will need places to land to refuel and rearm in event of war. The U.S.A. has developed a more new battle doctrine for that combat theater yet of course even that advanced theoretical paradigm is changing a lot, perhaps so far as to become obsolete, as a result of Ukraine war development of drone technology for war. I am sure that DARPA is working on a plethora of A.I. self-regulating drones for attacking various targets negating the need for human operators in some cases. Island and bases may be neutralized by undersea refueled drones as well. Just as air tankers refuel aircraft in flight, sub-sea tanker mini-subs may be developed to refuel amphibious drones as well as undersea drones. All of this is of course a Field of Morons paradigm, rather than a Field of Dreams. Yet is is the way political leaders are driven by power and financial pressures and incentives.

The longer the Ukraine conflict continues the more the Eastern Block will deploy there own systems positioned to defrappe the Western Block that will be deploying counter-system. It is all very good for defense contracting business. This progression deserves a Ludlum title at least- like the Aquitaine Progression or The Parsifal Mosaic, though it reminds me of the perennial war between Oceana and some other power that went on interminably in Orwell's 1984. With the rise of A.I. that sort of scenario may evolve and people will become more isolated, conditioned by the daily hate and surveilled by the state. It needs to slip over a world population slowly, with subterfuge, rather than to be forced upon them.

9-11 demonstrated the fragility of major American cities to attacks with high explosives from the air. The Ukraine War has shown how drones take out conventional ground forces and the way cities are destroyed. Casualties and property damage from even a conventional war with China would really set back the U.S. economy with destruction of thousands of urban core buildings, power and communications centers. Drones will be vectored to the U.S. mainland from a number of different approaches perhaps, while the U.S. attacks China with cargo ships full of drones. China would be equally devastated with perhaps 200 million dying from starvation and disease as secondary effects becoming collateral casualties resulting from loss of economic infrastructure and food supply disruption plus disease. It is important to have peace in Ukraine directly sharing it with Russia and retiring Zelensky. Continuing escalation doesn't lead to a good place for east or west. President Trump needs to withdraw all support from Ukraine and reestablish relations with Russia if he wants to make a difference, and of course he can't do that.

Europe has a lengthy history of fighting interminable, internecine wars. There is no reason to slacken hold of the reins America held until recently on that following WW 2. President Trump does not understand that European leadership would venture right up to and over the edge given the vacuum of US leadership globally since President Clinton.

On leaders cooperating; it isn't certain at all about who the leaders really are or even the structure. It could be a plutonomy. European history indicated they war until they can't- when they have left things in ruins. Cooperation is possible though.Look up the prisoners dilemma, and the diner;' dilemma- a pair of philosophically illuminating theory examples that is applicable to leadership in Europe with some modifications
