The kill switch is not even needed. Deny supply of parts, components, maintenance on the basis of the US ITAR laws (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) and they won't fly long. Rafale is the only ITAR free option I believe. We'd just have to hope Le Pen won't get elected / abandons russia.

Preferably not but we need Europe to be able to fight "alone" (500K people, world's most industrialized region should not be lonely in any endeavor) anyway. US has superior satellite, intel, surveillance, air transport, air refueling capacities that we'd need to build. Right now US can't be trusted.

While no evidence is likely to emerge attributing to russia the damaging last December by a russian shadow fleet tanker of the Estlink 2 powerline between FIN and EST, which is part of new Baltic connection to EU grid, the target and the timing provide a fairly clear motive.

I dunno. A true leader of the free world calls russia by its genocidal imperialist name, condemns their crimes and imposes consequences. We'll need a lot better than this, and it should come from Europe. USA has given us years of failed escalation management and / or bootlicking of dictators.

China is also a huge creditor to the developing world. This has its risks if the debtor countries default and can't compensate by ceding control of national assets (which has happened). This could lead to a global financial crisis originating in China, given the size of its economy.

China's problem is oversized construction sector and low domestic spending. In the absence of social security and I guess for cultural reasons, people prioritize savings over consumption. They do accumulate private debt to buy homes, so money is in walls instead of circulating in the market.

Inflation and interest rates are through the roof, the ruble is collapsing (ca 110 to one USD now). The only thing they can export is energy, that keeps their head above the water for now but it's hypersensitive to any price fluctuations in the world market. Not a sustainable situation for very long

The russian economy is. They overspend in the military, which increases GDP on paper - but a tank made to be blown to bits in Ukraine weeks later doesn't create wealth. They underspend in everything else. Too much of the workforce has flead or been KIA/WIA in Ukraine.

Not sure what will happen in the end, will we just "de-escalate" and sweep it under the rug. But at least Finland's first response was a little bit more Not-Messing-Around this time: armed Coast Guard and police special forces boarded the ship from a helicopter at night and it was escorted to port.

Better to buy from US than ruzzia, but... Tariffs are likely to hurt the US economy (imports more expensive) and slow down global economy. It's naive to think that the EU won't retaliate with tariffs of our own. A notorious historical example of US tariffs is the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Act, a disaster.

Finland focuses on army after major upgrades with air force, navy. While these are welcome news, we need to manage it well. The money is away from something else. The usual slashing of social spending may hurt social consensus, economy. All sectors need to participate. Think corporate subsidies etc.

There is a protocol (radio warnings, warning shots). TR said they warned ru plane 10 times, ru says 0 times. Would be good to have an additional way of signaling with repeat offenders like ruzzia. Like, "You've done this x times in x months, this is the last and only warning" - cut the game short.

All the fallen dictators end up fleeing to ruzzia. Where will putler flee to with Assad and Yanukovych when it's ruzzia's time to collapse? Venezuela or North Korea? I'm guessing Iran won't be in the position to receive them anymore by then - what's left of that bunch could be on the same plane.
