True enough if it happens. Putin seems to have his Oligarchs convinced he can form a coalition with China, India, Iran and North Korea that can stand against the west.
At least they’re convinced for now. If that changes, the rest of the world will find out posthumously.
You don’t want congress writing exacting laws in a lot of regulatory situations. Think if congress right now was setting interest rates. It wouldn’t get done until long after the economy had imploded. Even if they were listening to the same economists, political problems would create a disaster. The same is true in most cases concerning the EPA and other regulatory agencies. By the time congress would be able to respond to a situation, everyone would have died of whatever the problem was.
