I am a registered Independent and that is twitter thread is right on the money. Just then uncoupling of Europe from Russian natural gas and opening up the market to US LNG will create enough jobs in the USA and swing the USA-EU trade balance enough to make the investment worth it. With Russia weakened for the foreseeable future the USA can turn its attention back to containing China. Also China is much less likely to be a bad actor after it has seen how poorly the equipment and tactics that Russia uses have faired against western equipment and an army trained by the west. China uses the same military structure, tactics, and equipment based off Russian technology so it’s probably rethinking its plans. Especially since Ukraine has not been given western aircraft or naval equivalent. If 30-40 year old Mig29s and Su27s equipped with older generation HARM missiles can knock out the Russian air defense systems in less than a month, what can F18s, F15s, and F35s (which the USA and all of our pacific allies have) armed with more advanced weapons do to their air defenses?
