    What more than Ukraine can they carve up? Russia can’t conquer the EU. Even the Baltics, how could Russia enter while the EU has air superiority?

      I don’t think Russia would attack the EU either, but air superiority is rather outdated in the age of missiles and drones.

        They could maybe try to scavenge the ashes. Us and Russia might have enough nukes to destroy the world 100 times but both France and UK have enough for 3 or 4.

        In theory, but what would be there to conquer for the US? With Blackrock they already control the companies.

        The US has just pushed Russia out of Syria and Armenia. Why would Russia cooperate? A Russian alliance is only a threat to the European public so that they accept the American dominance.
