There are no miracles. Europe cannot sustain itself without access to cheap Russian resources. The only reason Ukraine was taken over was to secure control of them - but things did not go according to plan. Instead, Ukraine turned into a financial sinkhole where money simply disappears. Under pressure from the United States, Europe had to give up Russian resources anyway.

What lies ahead is rising military spending, justified by the need to secure the resources Europe expects to depend on in the future. To achieve that, countries in the Middle East and Africa will be stripped to the bone. That will be followed by a large-scale military campaign culminating in the complete destruction of cities with populations exceeding 300,000.

Humanity will eventually learn its lesson, but rebuilding civilization will take thousands of years. And then, the people of Sector B will decide to conquer Sector A - this time by offering a giant horse, with soldiers hidden inside.
