Putin to invade Ukraine next week, according to U.S. officials

23. I still don't understand how the rest of the world can't stop it, even knowing so much in advance

Hilarious in a black humour way, how the US spends more for the MIC than every nation combined, which all US taxpayers pay dearly for. Yet they, combined with all the other western nations, with those military as well, Putin just laughs off.

What is the point of all that spending?

Then there's the economic sanctions side of things. How can Russia not be isolated from the increasingly global economy? I suspect the answer is MONEY. And how multinational corporations are intertwined and participate in the Russian economy. And that also covers military response.

Corporations don't really care if the Ukraine is run by Ukraines or Russians. And western powers are led by those corporations. It is they who will decide if the fallout from not stopping the invasion is worth it financially compared to simply watching the attack with popcorn, and then playing ball with Putin's new Ukraine.
