Putin: "The united states is broke." Putin: "This is a good time to invade ukraine, when americans are too poor to respond with military force."
It is possible that an american deterrent was the only thing keeping russia in check. Now that the deterrent is removed, Putin can move with relative impunity.
Inversely speaking, if american prosperity prevents russia from invading its neighbors. Then all that is needed to fix problems in ukraine, is for the american economy to be restored to its previous state of prosperity.
Something similar could be said for europe and asia. The best deterrent to invasion and war could be strong economic fundamentals. Predators feast upon the sick and weak. Nations with economies in distress. And so to reverse the trend perhaps it would be wise to pursue the opposite trend.
