French historian and anthropologist Emmanuel Todd believes that the Russo-Ukrainian conflict could put the United State’s financial status at risk. In an interview with French media outlet Le Figaro, he cited an analyst offered by University of Chicago Professor John Mearsheimer, who contended that this conflict was “existential” for Russia. On the other hand, for the US, the Russo-Ukrainian conflict is just another geopolitical struggle that it could exploit to its heart content. In reality, this conflict would be of little importance to the US.
