However, the issue is not us, it is that we have politicians that believe we can have a limited nuclear war and that they can control where an engagement will lead.

This no fly zone is an example. If we set one up then we would have to shoot down a Russian jet in there. That will drag whomever does it into the war and it would escalate from there. Yet I have heard many politicians think it is a good idea. Luckily, slightly, saner heads seem to be in control atm.

We shouldn't even be involved here. We didn't get involved over the last 8 years as the ukraine has been killing the very civilians that everyone is wringing their hands about now.

We are living through the decline of the Western civilisation, and have been for over 30 years. It has become obvious over the last few years and is now clear to anyone that looks at it without rose tinted glasses.

100% spot on, mate. We should stay out. A no fly zone is a terrible idea.
Ukraine has been killing civvies for 8 years, 100% true.
I wonder why (not really it was the start of an invasion) 60,000 of them were so close to Donbass in the first place? Seems like they were pipped to the post. Well, boo-hoo.
Western civilisation has been in decline, absolutely. No argument here from me on that fact.
We have seen censorship and free speech shut down online: MePipe, Twatter and Farcebook being the worse offenders. We have seen de-platforming too. There is a lot of wannabe Comrades who need training up in how to rat their pals out properly.
We have seen sanctions imposed before ... but we have not seen entire countries being "de-banked" for the want of a better term. We have not seen a country grab the assets of foreign civilians before.
Be assure the rest of the world are watching how the American government is acting just now. They are feeling uncomfortable because of the message.
The message is: "do as we say, or we'll steal your money."
Do you think the rest of the world are going to put up with that cr@p? Neither do I.
The best thing other countries can do now is dump the dollar as fast as possible and trade in other currencies. India and Russia have already agreed a Rupee to Rubel exchange for oil recently. They do not need the American dollar as a reserve note any longer.
Obviously this is going to be a sh!tstorm for the USA, Euro and all the rest, but we could all see it coming - except for Sniffy Joe, apparently.
