I really don’t think I can help you, but the two obvious crazy ideas encompassed here are that civil wars never turn into wider regional conflicts and that losing a major trading partner never tanked an economy. Or that the ideological conflict here won’t possibly spread anywhere else (did you not even notice Vance and Musk’s support of afd ?) Good luck with all that.

The major trading partner that has been placing heavy tariffs on everyone but Russia? I just want to confirm we are talking about the same one.

This is exactly the sort of problem we are talking about.
