What I Anticipate

 For several months, both the EU and the US have talked about the frozen Russian funds being held (over the war).  The amount?  Some quote $240-billion....some quote $300-billion.

In the last week....more talk than usual, and it seems like they are fairly close to 'taking' the frozen funds.

So on the day....this occur, I'll make the following predictions.

First, within 24 hours....in Brussels, I would expect a bridge or two to be blown up....probably like 2 AM.

Within 24 hours after that.....I expect a couple of power-substations, railway tracks and bridges to be blown in France and Germany.

Over the course of a week...more than twenty terror attacks.

Russians?  Yes, of course.  

I would offer my humble thoughts...more than a dozen teams roaming around and hitting things without much loss of life.....just to make life miserable for the governments involved.

Any of the EU countries to admit in public that it was Russians?  For at least ten days.....no.  I think they will try hard to suggest it's ISIS or Hamas.  

How to fix this problem?  You can't.  Once the frozen funds are given to Ukraine.....you have dug a pretty deep hole.

Ending it?  Well...at some point, I would anticipate that the EU drags the Ukraine in, and says....that's it....fix up a peace-treaty and get us to an end.  

Amount of damage?  I'd figure ten times the frozen money amount.  A collapse of several governments?  Well...that's another thing I wonder about....if someone wants to assume some blame.
