This is spiralling out of control... In recent days, we’ve seen tensions in Eastern Europe take an unexpected turn. The attack on a key pipeline seems to have been just the opening move in what some are calling a dangerous escalation. We’re also seeing Ukrainian President Zelensky making some bold demands—like a perpetual billion-dollar commitment from NATO countries. He wants us to send him 1 billion dollars in perpetuity. He’s also stepping back from previously discussed land concessions that were supposed to be a cornerstone of the peace talks.
