First it was the ones that got jobs in India wanting more than their usual one meal a day, they are upstarts, trying to upset the natural balance of things, upstarts is the base term.
That being said is North America isn't the best location for an exporting power to look for 'new customers'. The places that have been at war will be the next location for manufactured goods to be sent to and that is who China will be shipping the 'bobbles and beads' to in exchange for the raw materials that produce all the exported stuff plus 10% (or whatever) and that allows their standard of living to rise for the lower classes at no expense to the leaders'.
If the Ukraine Govt was to nationalize the pipelines as being a national security item they could then 'charge a fee' for 'additional inspections' so that internal price was at income price and at the other end of the border where it entered other nations it would be a Ukraine export rather that it being a Russian product going across several borders with no additional tariffs. It would be no different than Quebec getting power lines from Nfld and exiting to America and the Quebec Govt selling the power at an increased rate making it a sizable income supported by US taxpayers. This would be NATO countries paying more for their gas but saving them a war with all the latest weapons being used in mass.
Buy all Russian petroleum products that cross the border from Russia and have a local price that is 40% less than the new export price that difference pays the bills for all the imported products and allowing a subsidy for the agricultural sector.
As the Ukraine has an elected President it would be him that stands up for anything called a war crime from that election date, like when the military is used for 'crowd control in the 21st Century. Tanks would be considered to be defensive weapons at 'large gatherings and the one shot big gun would have something suitable for tracking certain locations in hd and stereo sound that would be able to track sound back to it's point of origin. That sort of 'hard evidence' would be the core of the war crimes and it would serve for 'class action suits' and with the 'compensation cheques' they would be shopping for goods coming from China with a quality version of Marco Polo's trade route and this round has more than just spices.
We in North America can trade with each other (Visa paying MasterCard) where we come up with projects that employ may as we 'scavenge the land' leaving behind sculptured fields and all our 'old trash' supplied the 'raw materials'. That 90 employment rate could be changed to 9% employment with very heavy equipment and 'the rest' could pursue the 'decorating end' of things. (rather than we enter a calamity and a lot of people die)
At what ratio does the same abuse become acceptable because what you wrote should apply to Canada and the US and all other Nations?
