Go back to 2014 when Crimea was annexed and you see how strategic this patch on land is to the sea of Azoz. Now look at the position of Ukraine to Russia and you see why Putin has no choice but to flex his muscle physically.

Biden has more than just Ukraine to think about because he knows his decision has direct indications for Taiwan. It isn't a coincidence why China-Russia are forced together intimately. It's all about diplomatic backing as well as diversifying of raw materials and finished good in the 2 way trade between themselves should sanctions be placed by the West. Digi-Yuan can replace SWIFT in theory. The joint military exercise through Japan reaffirms their mutual commitments.

These are dangerous times, all Biden needs to do is cut Ukraine lose and bar them permanently from joining EU/NATO. Simple solution but a profound one with major implication for our Govt. Dutton for PM anyone?
