Most of the world just wants to do business.

 WHILE WEST CONTEMPLATES UKRAINE ESCALATION

WILL EUROPE AND UNITED STATES RECOVER?

While here in the United States we are fed a constant stream of propaganda that the world is conspiring to damage us or that we are being threatened first by Russia and now China. At the same time the U.S. is pressuring the rest of the world to choose sides. The motto is "you are either our allies or our enemy". This policy is now being rejected by much of the world. In fact, most of the world desires stability, economic security and better future for their citizens. This is contrary to constant drumbeat of sanctions and intervention.

We see this in the gulf countries, who have generally supported U.S. Policies in the past. They do not see either Russia or China as a threat to their well being. In fact they actually find that they can do business in a pragmatic and beneficial way without the constant prodding of social policies and internal intervention in their country. So far China and Russia have shown that it is profitable enterprise and do not view their business as threat from these countries. That is why there is an effort being made to work on lowering the hostilities with Iran and Syria to create a stable region were all can prosper economically.

The same is appling increasingly in Africa were the relationships with Russia and China have been economic and not strained with ideological conflicts. They would all like to just do business in the best interest of their countries. This seems to be the trend in southern Asia and even South America, it seems many have tired of ideological confrontation that has resulted in chaos, death and destruction.

While much of the world is moving to a new era of cooperative business enterprise, the U.S. and NATO is caught in a quagmire in Ukraine that will not be resolved in their favor. While Russia is being damaged by this conflict, it may actually cause serious economic and political consequences for those counties supporting this conflict. In fact, as the rest of the world moves on, the west may actually be dooming their future to alienation and marginalization. There are not going to be any positive economic outcomes for NATO or Ukraine.

We see that Germany, France and Poland are now meeting to discuss some sort of Military security guarantee's for Ukraine. Sounds like NATO intervention by another name. As we witness the fact that Ukraine cannot overcome in this conflict, it seems the West is willing to gamble on the future of the whole region. It is true, a defeat will be very damaging to NATO and likewise a defeat for Russia is equally unacceptable. Crunch time is coming, either it is all out European war or hopefully some so far unseen diplomats will save the day.
