Ok.
This shit is getting real.
Fox News is reporting that Russian separatist are active in Estonia and Moldova. Shots fired, officials harassed...that kind of thing.
Why does this get my feathers ruffled?
Estonia is part of NATO.
We can't sit on the sidelines if things go south there. We will be committed. Europe will be committed. Even if its just sanctions against Russia then this is turning into a huge shit sandwich for the world.
Why?
Because Russia's economy will tank. The European economy will tank because they'll have to pay higher prices for fuel from other sources. The world economy will slow down (if not tank) because speculators will jack up the price even beyond the natural increase that will occur.
Globalization is about to get shot in the head (if these reports are accurate).
More to come.
