I’ll admit that I was enjoying Trump flailing around like a moron, taking one loss after another for the first couple of weeks.
I’m not saying that my Schadenfreude was worth all the death and destruction, just that I could appreciate it.
But that’s all gone now, and I’m just left with the pit in my stomach. If this latest threat turns into a real tit-for-tat, it could spark the largest refugee crisis we’ve ever seen.
To say nothing of all the people that are gonna die in the third world because of a potential decade-long shock to global energy and fertilizer supplies.
At this point, Europe might be worse off than the developing countries. They can still get energy and fertilizer from Russia and Belarus. Meanwhile, Europe made itself entirely dependent on the US, and has no replacements. And the refugees will flood there too, so that will deepen the economic crisis.
