One malicious Superpower in Eastern Europe brutally invaded it's neighbor \nand has led to a bloody war in the Ukraine. .\nOne 'friendly' Western Superpower launches a catastrophic economic war \non its neighbors, threatening to put their economies in a stranglehold using \ndevastating tariffs. \n\nPutin brakes the agreements he signed during the Minsk treaties in 2014-15. \nTrump breaks the USMCA agreements (formerly NAFTA) he signed in 2020. \nBoth Superpowers leverage their economic and military power to demand \nsubmission in order to extort concessions, and possibly more territory.\nJust how much difference is there,, really?
