    Ukraine and Russia have continental climates, they are not as affected by the Gulf Stream as the western European states. They will be fine (except that Ukraine is being destroyed by a war, but that’s another matter), but Britain, France, Germany maybe even Spain (which already has problems with water shortages) will see crop failures and a collapse of agriculture. They will be even more dependent on the US and Russia as a result. Europe will become even more of a colony of Washington than it already is, conditions will approach those in the global south with the difference that the global south will be rising along with China whereas the US is in terminal decline and will squeeze Europe dry to slow down that decline for as long as there is anything left to squeeze.
