@jwildeboer this little corner of the world suffers deeply whenever big events happen in Europe, or all the way across the Atlantic ocean, don't think mere geographical distance means a lot. But if you really worry about it, one thing Putin flat out declared is he's not interested in global war, nor geographical expansion. Who is escalating? I have to be able to see beyond the propaganda on both sides, they only wish to keep us separated and infighting so they can keep their global profits up.
