Meanwhile in the real world: The US won’t let the Russians get to the Syrian oil. The US sanctions Russian client states- Cuba, Iran, Venezuela plus Nord Stream II pipeline and multiple companies owned Russian oligarchs etc etc.
The US will spend $733 billion dollars on defense, sell billions of dollars in arms to Poland, for the first time in 30 years a Navy Aircraft cattier went above the arctic circle. The US is developing: A new strategic bomber, spending more on hypersonic missile technology, developing new ICBM’s, deploying low yield warheads on SLBM’s, clearly militarizing space, pulling out of arms treaties (these are not good things), testing intermediate range nuclear missiles and conducting more freedom of navigation operations in contested areas.
All in an attempt to appease Vlad Putin (and the Chinese).
