How should I know? If I could predict the future with multiple variables, I'd be Elon!
What I know is Putin is a horrible person, but a cunning leader. I beleive in keep your friends close and enemies closer.
Might be a good time to befriend Putin/Russia in hopes of the next leaders to build something.
I've hated USSR/Russia for almost 50 yrs. I look back and wonder, what did Russia do to make my life worse. I can't find anything. Now is that because my leaders have kept Russia at bay, or because Russia has not been aggressive. Not sure of the answer.
But I am willing to see us take a new path. I did not choose to serve. A regret, but I just wasn't raised with that mindset. And watching from a position of ignorance for so many years has led me to learn more. And I've learned that my country is not so, ummm, perfect.
