What's certain in the US and here in Europe, is that there will not be a political solution - at least not with the current bunch of corrupt, evil SoBs. The only solution I can see is that everything gets worse, there is a complete breakdown, and something better grows out of it. In the US that might be a regional solution where no Woke or PC crap is allowed; in Europe, it would be some kind of return to the sovereign nation state and a large slice of grovelling and apologising to Putin so we get our cheap LNG back.
