The EU have given far more to Ukraine: not just money and weapons; they've lost relatively cheap supplies of Russian: gas; oil and grain and have another refugee crisis to deal with (after Libya). The question might be why they would want to support America interest in Ukraine; the companies that moved in already have upset EU farmers (who know how to protest) and when it comes to ripping people off; these globalist zealots even do that to their own citizens. I don't think America can blame the EU; they can try, but all the majors powers knew that even the prospect NATO expansion (after Yugoslavia) would have Russia declaring war. I would expect that Trump and the hotel chains that still operate in Russia and China have better uses for money than war. While if NATO wants an enemy; one with teeth and claws, then Russia, or China, fit the bill. I don't think what America is doing is in the EU's interest.
My proposal is we get three nuclear superpowers to collaborate on putting a colony on Mars; this will not solve world poverty or (m)any of the existing problems; but it's something bigger than any one country and something we can all support. I remember the streets being deserted to watch the first man walk on the Moon; Russia putting the first space station in orbit and am amazed by what the Webb telescope is bringing us. While listening to talk about millions and billions from the G7 (money they don't have) is boring me to tears.
NATO was formed to oppose the Warsaw Pact; which no longer exists; if it fires missiles at mainland Russia; this makes NATO affiliates legitimate targets; I don't make the rules.
The question might be, who does? I don't think it's Biden, or Putin, while in my experience of USSR given independence and a choice between neutrality or war, you don't choose war.
As for being $34 Trillion in debt, have you checked the offshore "tax havens"(?) because there's a lot of money being exported out of the economy, to who knows where?
Odd how the American hotel chains manage to do business in Russia; I guess they know how to play the game; but I can't afford their prices, so I'd stay at Cosmos for VDNK.
While if America, or NATO want a nuclear war; they just need to keep doing what they are doing; no way are Russia going to back down (this time).
With American troops still occupying the oil fields in Syria (some 20% of the country) is it not obvious why America goes to war? The network media rather quiet about this...

I agree with you that the Russian economy is quite different from the Western economies; if Russia trades oil; gas and grain to China and in return receives: shovels; washing machines and microchips, this doesn't even show up in GDP figures; we are told Russia has a comparatively small economy, but this country has the largest nuclear arsenal on the planet; put the first space station in orbit and has Mach 27 missile technology... most of that accomplished without the benefit of capitalism. In Russia (and China) the state owns the land; the state owns the utilities; with "soft" currencies the government can set the value and Russia doesn't want or need: hedge-funds; foreign companies trying to buy state property or the opinions of Western leaders of countries steeped in debt, that have people living on the streets. That's not to say that socialism, or communism, is in any way perfect; it's actually rather boring without disposable income to start a business or indulge in foreign holidays; but contrary to network media blurb; with an: NHS; state funded education; very low cost food; fuel (and wages); free internet and a strong sense of national achievement (see VDNK; Moscow Metro; Hotel Ukraine), I don't see why Russia would want what the Western globalists are trying to sell (and neither do I). I'm not sure what a chap who: has never been to Ukraine; knows little about economics and nothing about ground war (something Russia is good at) can tell us; I think he's a paid PR man (based on channel production values); he presents the Ukrainian version of events (and if their one-sided casualty figures were half true; they don't need our money) while in my limited experience of USSR as it was returning Europe to 1938 borders, if you break a neutrality agreement, the alternative is war and the responsibility belongs to whoever broke that agreement. I don't know what other people think; but I am aware that Russians; Chinese and Americans do not think in the same way. When China said, "Do not try to involve us in American power games...we have good trading relations with both Russia and Ukraine" things may get lost in translation, but that is shocking to me: it's accusative; a threat and while I don't think China is "against" America, they are certainly not "with" them. While all this funding being sent to a notoriously corrupt country that isn't in the EU or NATO defies explanation by me, but I notice America usually goes to war to further it's own economic interest and interferes in other countries domestic politics regularly (some 64 attempted regime changes since the last world war). I don't know what Jake and his buddies expect to achieve, but their portrayal of: Russia; China, even America seems rather distorted and I'm no longer prepared to give the benefit of the doubt to my own government who I wouldn't trust to run a bath. All this concern about other countries economies; seems just a distraction from some rather serious issues right here; right now. Just based on simple arithmetic, Ukraine runs out of troops sooner or later; I have great sympathy for civilians caught up in wars between super-powers; while I have no sympathy for cheerleaders of war that won't go. In my opinion Jake is a grifter; who is willingly distributing misinformation for material gain (evil). I like the Russian; American and Chinese people, generally speaking; I found Russia had one of the most highly educated populations I encountered; a technologically driven society where the term peasant is worthy of respect (they grow the food). You must never toast the host of a party; shake hands across the portal of a door, or break promises to Russians; it's not necessary to understand why; just don't do that. While if America fires missiles at mainland Russia (trying to claim it's Ukraine); this conflict is going to expand and I've no interest in funding that. I totally agree with you that commentators (like Tucker Carlson) likely returned culture shocked, Russia is not at all the way the network media describes it.
