One would think a nuclear Armageddon will happen or a financial Armageddon will happen.

But if one of the two will happen it would be only logical to trigger the other one. The order in which that happens is not relevant.

It is the perfect lose-lose-scenario.

A bank is not a factory or a mine or a well or a school or a technical education institution or a research outfit or valuable human capital that can transform things in the real world.

An d they are tellingg Poland to lead the charge. They invaded Moscow twice in the early 1200's got a kick in the pants and have never amounted to anything.

I'm curious to know what would prevent Russia from glazing Poland (and the 3 Baltic countries) with Sarmat in case they attacked Kaliningrad. In a conventional war, Russia would not be able to defend its enclave. Those 4 antagonists could instead fire missiles with Ukrainian flags painted on them, similar to what the British are doing in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean against Russian LNG tankers etc., but missiles and drones can never be sufficient to actually conquer Kaliningrad.

The western MSM and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and cohorts in countries like India will cry at the top of their voice saying Russia must stick to the rules framed by its adversaries while retaliating against Polish strikes on Kakiningrad, and not retaliate with nukes against Berlin and Gdansk. Like they are saying Iran must stay clear of US bases in Gulf for the sake of keeping the geography of war "contained", even though US gets a free pass sinking Iranian ships off the coast of Ceylon thousands of miles away from the Gulf War zone. MSM has been preaching the same sermon all along to Russia in reference to Ukraine, saying Russia must take care not to expand the Ukraine war (by refraining from attacking the launch pads and control centres of drones launched against Russian mainland in Germany and Czechia etc deep inside the EU.

And all this thanks to the delusion called democracy.

Democrazy…. the slaves, serfs and peasants really thought the elites would allow them a say in things after thousands of years at preventing upward class mobility? Ha ha ha.
