The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Let's paint your scenario.

Oh, joy. Here we go.

Ukraine gives up what territory is necessary to gain peace. Trump decides he'll sell arms to
Europe, but not provide anything more to the Ukraine.


Ahem. Who's teaching them how to upgrade, fly and beat the Russians in their F-16s? Who's been training their army for 20 years?

-1.

Russia consolidates, then takes Moldova. Then protrudes a psuedopod to the Baltics - which is RIGHTFULLY RUSSIAN.

-2. The Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians don't see it your way.

With each loss, the dream of reconstituting the USSR gains fresh support.

From whom? -3

We need to have the Russians put that dream behind them and concentrate on developing the north - to their economic advantage. Why? Because we are conducting the great experiment to find out what the earth is like after we change the climate.

Oh, so you now are coming around to the Arctic being a thing, eh? And you actually want the Russkies prowling around up there more than they already are? Maybe talk to Canada about actually funding their military.

-4.
