When Russia went to war with Ukraine 2 years ago, I could see it prolonging beyond 2 years because war is against the hegemony of USD and not against Ukraine . Russia is escalating the war now in the pretext of assassination attempt on Putin. This is a ploy to ensure that the Fed Reserve cannot make a soft landing of an economic crash in the west. Fed knows that a crash is imminent but they want to make the plane land safely. Russia wants the opposite. We are living in historic times WW3 escalation.
