    Yes the Soviets mostly traded with their sphere and they are/were probably the most autarkic state in the world but even at the height of the cold war, they kept trading with the US for example.
    Business over politics.
    The situation in Europe could get as bad as in the US and worse.
    Plenty of countries where it’s difficult to keep the extreme right out of power.
    I don’t see how it can be stopped.
    The ‘sanctions’ that massively backfired are destroying our economy. We know what that led to in the 30’s.
    And the insane governments and their media are determined to send the kids off to the eastern front again sice they have their scapegoat.
    Could be that soon you may consider yourself in the better position where Europe is getting destroyed in full on war while you are far away.
    Anyway, I wish us both good luck fir the bleak future.
