:face-fuchsia-poop-shape:South Korea doesn't have the ability to arm both Ukraine and itself at the same time. The North is overwhelmingly devoted to arms production, and they've got the bigger weapons - like the ones that can reach US mainland. The more South Korea drains itself to supply Ukraine, the more easily the North will be able to shove them around - and they have a reputation for crazy antics. China can out-produce and out-supply everyone, and they're backing Russia, regardless of US threats. Putin is preparing for a looming fight with a NATO whose escalationism shows no sign of abating. Ukraine is right nextdoor - and it's full of Russians - always has been, that's its history. Western Ukraine was part of Poland, the other half was part of Russia. Both countries referred to their respective halves as their "borderlands". (that's what "Ukraine" means, you can try to lip-flap and deny as much as you want, but those are the facts.) Fastest way to start a fight or a war is to put a knife to someone's throat -- and that's what Victoria Nuland & her NeoCons did when they decided to overthrow the elected govt of Yanuckovitch. Why did they do that? Because Putin blocked them in Syria, where they were trying to overthrow Assad by backing ISIS, etc against him. This was after Nuland & NeoCons overthrew and killed Qadafi, which was after they overthrew and killed Saddam. (Basically, the NeoCons were "trying to make the world safe for Israel" - a crusade they've been on ever since the catastrophic collapse of the Oslo "peace process".) But Putin dared to block the NeoCons in Syria by deplying the Russian military there. So Nuland & NeoCons decided to go after Russia via its sensitive point - Ukraine. They overthrew Yanuckovitch, and the rest is history. Putin has had to invade Ukraine to head off the obvious attempt to destroy Russia. If a hostile anti-American power were to overthrow and install a hostile anti-American govt in Mexico, the United States would invade in a heartbeat. Major powers don't tolerate a knife being put to their throat. The US wouldn't, and neither should Russia.

Fed was created to exercise control over people's money. It gets to control the value of people's money all the time, by lowering or raising rates, mainly to control their spending behavior. This kind of control is doomed to deteriorate into corruption. The Fed kept rates too low for too long, while its political masters wrote lots of blank cheques, spending money on whatever pleased them. This has created massive inflation, and the Fed is now having to suddenly tighten in a very sharp way, while the politicians continue to spend even more money irresponsibly. This has created a crisis in confidence in the value of the US Dollar, and talk of de-centralized finance, so that the Fed-worshipping central control-freaks are now desperately scrounging for a new gimmick, like a new digital dollar that they can force everyone onto, in order to gain new control over their lives (even while ensuring that any alternative digital currencies are banned)
