What will calm the heart of worry after the US election in relation to our latitudes: these are 21 "intervals" since the end of WWII and 7 of them, according to my calculations (exactly a third) had an impact on the USSR/RF, sometimes significantly: 1946, McCarthyism, the beginning of the arms race; 1974, the Jackson-Wnick amendment (the famous Watergee landing), 1994 - Eastward expansion of NATO. Furthermore, both stubborn donkeys and warring elephants are about equal in terms of negative impact on our beaches. However, it really wasn't meant to be. For now, in short - institutional control through special committees on each separate transaction considered false to US national security; most likely - legislative codification of sanctions (so that they cannot be removed arbitrarily at will) and strengthening of Ukraine's negotiating positions (don't be alarmed now by the "withdrawal of aid").
