To note this article is my opinion, and had to reword the title, let's see what happens  - Well my Crypto and business savvy bunch, it is time someone brought this discussion to the table, and asked the question... so here I am not rewording it in the opening paragraph - How Are The West Expecting Russia to Get Back to Business After Ukraine?

It is a legitimate question, an ethical question... and right as a free Human Being, and an inquisitive mind to want to pursue an answer - because this is far from anything like the resolutions after World War 2. After all Russia had been a valuable asset to the West during that war against Nazi Germany, despite that Russian help coming from the then USSR leader, Stalin - How history changes... I mean come on - what comes after the Ukraine War? For one it is largely dependent on the outcome... but...

When the smoke clears from the Ukraine War debacle, Western governments are going to be hilariously scrambling to coax Russian businesses and tourists, you can bet your last Satoshi on it. They are going to want to coax investors, and citizens back into the fold of trading, consumerism, and tourism. It's like trying to persuade a cat to take a bubble bath - entertaining, but ultimately painfully, a bit of a fight, teeth and claws.

So let's all picture this in a hopefully near future without nuclear conflict - Uncle Sam (USA), the European Union (EU), and the United Kingdom (UK), are there standing on their soapboxes, waving their arms frantically, pleading with Russia to forget about that little war they just had been financing, and come back to the party like nothing happened. It's the geopolitical equivalent of sending a "Sorry, my bad" text after you've already punched someone in the face... Oh I hope Jake Paul gets a good slap when he meets Mike Tyson... eventually... apparently Boxing... Maybe... soon... in an 'Exhibition'.

But heyho... let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they genuinely believe that slapping Russia with sanctions is like giving a toddler a time-out - they'll learn their lesson and come back a changed nation. Spoiler alert... Russia IS NOT like the prior USSR, it is not poor, not undemocratic, free, multicultural and in my opinion very patient... but this current situation? It's more like poking a bear with a stick and expecting it to cuddle with you afterward... a bit awkward.

Let's talk about these sanctions. Ah, the Western governments' weapon of choice - economic warfare at its finest. According to the geniuses over at the U.S. Whitehouse and the European Union, these sanctions were supposed to cripple Russia's economy and bring Putin to his knees. Instead, they've inadvertently given Russia a financial makeover, transforming it into an economic powerhouse with more cash than a Las Vegas casino.

Also what of all the banking and financial institutions? What about all the Cryptocurrency Trading Platforms that are having to play by the Western Rulebook and not conduct any trading or business in Russian territories, business or civilian... punish the Russian people for the mistakes of suit's and cash - it makes my teeth itch. Especially when it is my Taxes (your taxes possibly) paying for this absolute shitfest.

It's like watching a game of economic whack-a-mole. You sanction one sector, and another one pops up stronger than before. Meanwhile, Putin is probably sitting in the Kremlin, sipping vodka and laughing at the sheer incompetence of his Western adversaries. "Oh, Joe Biden, you silly old man," he chuckles between sips. "Did you really think you could outsmart me?"

But fear not, dear citizens of the West, for our illustrious leaders have a plan. They're going to sweet-talk Russia back into the global economy with promises of lucrative trade deals and bustling tourism. Because nothing says "let's be friends" like trying to profit off the same country you've been trying to sabotage for the past few years... did I just type that?

So here we are... standing at the crossroads of geopolitics and comedy. Will Russia graciously accept the future olive branch extended by its bumbling Western counterparts? Or will it continue to thumb its nose at the New World Order, marching to the beat of its own balalaika?

Who needs a conclusion when you've got an open-ended question like that? After all, the comedy of errors that is international diplomacy is a never-ending saga, full of twists, turns, and the occasional facepalm. So grab your orange juice folks, because this economic and military industrial complex show is far from over... far from over!
