Yeah it's crazy. Ukraine is a fire sale and the debt will be on the US govt books as an asset.

Makes me realise, a lot of things we read in history books that seem cut and dried, were probably not at all obvious to the people who lived at the time because their perception of facts was probably as skewed as our societies' perceptions are now.
