Why is Russia Invading Ukraine? - Many reasons, but I think this book and it's author have had a great influence on the decisions made by the Russian ruling class for the past 20 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics What Should Other Countries do about it? - Accept immigrants, sanction, and do everything to deescalate to stay away from Nuclear war to make sure that under no circumstances Russia is to take the Sulwaki Gap or the Baltic, Sweden and Finland will be next. https://cepa.org/cepa_files/2018-CEPA-report-Securing_The_Suwa%C5%82ki_Corridor.pdf https://cepa.org/cepa_files/2018-CEPA-report-Securing_The_Su... What is chinas position in all of this? - Tentatively a Russian apologist. China has a huge land border with Russia. Neither trust each other very much. If Russia can take Ukraine, then China might use the opportunity to take Taiwan, it's not super likely but not outside the realm of possibility. Mostly China don't want the worlds logistics chains to be fubared with again. A war in Europe might drive up the cost of raw materials and that is not entirely in Chinas favor. Economic Impact in Europe? - Nord stream is now an abject failure and a no go. Germany have to reevaluate starting up their nuclear reactors or the european energy crisis will get worse. American Impact? Cost of owning a car will become high as the global. oil price rises, this happens every time a major war starts. Incidently Russia tend to start some kind of war everytime the oilprice dips under a certain amount, i think it's around 40-45 USD per barrel Brent. Is the USA Going to War? - If Russia decides to move to the Suwlaki gap, then yes most certainly the NATO paragraph 5 will be activated and the USA as a NATO founder will ahve to go to war.
