  1. It's not just NATO that's benefitting from Putin's mistake, the EU is also benefitting with more support among its members and serious talks of reforms and expansion, basically, safety in numbers is helping EU countries and all it took was a threat from the outside. But the EU and NATO are not the only ones benefitting from this, we are all benefitting, because now there's a big push on renewable energy in the 3 major markets, the EU, US and China, that's going to benefit us all in the long run by making renewable energy cheaper and better, the only ones losing out here is Russia and the fossil industry and it might not seem like it at the moment, but with the big push away from the fossil industry, it's going to put downwards pressure on the price until it eventually squeezes them out. China if they are not careful could be another major loser in all this if they back Russia too much, especially as the EU and US among others are pushing hard to diversify away from China and China is making it easy for these countries to do so as long as China continues to support Russia and if they continue with hostile actions around the world like on Taiwan. It's going to be really interesting to see what the next 10 years look like, and I suspect EU and US relations could get much closer, especially with the rise of China.

  2. In total, I think the EU and its members have spent around the same as the US when it comes to Ukraine, with the US spending more on military aid and EU countries on humanity aid.
