This may be a controversial opinion for those only sacrificing healthcare and education, but I believe war may in fact cause harm.

    Hey quick question, let's assume everything you think about Russia is true. Why is putin playing along? Why is he emptying soviet vehicle stockpiles and losing troops on droves to a place he said in 2014 he could take in 2 weeks? If the US or NATO actually wanted to invade Russia, now is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be even better. So why continue a war that only weakens Russia?

    I guess the ultimate question is what is putin trying to accomplish with the invasion?

    Russia's natural resources are largely untouched. It has the same GDP as South Korea.

    Arctic thawing is only now making them accessible. This is why Trump is so desperate to control Greenland and Canada, and it unfortunately seems to be working.

    I don't need to think something is true when I have accurate information. I can know that it is true.

    What metrics can you provide that Russia is getting weaker and not steonger? With the advent of BRICS this will only continue at a greater pace. Countries like Russia and China are ascendant.

    It sounds like you're describing America and Europe's decline.

    Russia is fighting an existential threat on their border. That's what they're trying to accomplish.

    Zelensky campaigned on peace through the Minsk Agreement. He said that America was trying to weaken Russia at the expense of Ukrainians. He won in a landslide, winning every Oblast except the Banderite heartland of Lvov.

    Yet, he was powerless to stop the Azov Brigade from shelling the Donetsk City Center.

    Now Zelensky is just a kapo stooge who will never outlive his usefulness to Nazis.

    A wall of text to a simple question. Classic.

    What metrics can you provide that Russia is getting weaker and not steonger? With the advent of BRICS this will only continue at a greater pace. Countries like Russia and China are ascendant.

    I mentioned depleted stockpiles specifically, but go ahead and pretend I was talking about economics.

    Russia is fighting an existential threat on their border. That's what they're trying to accomplish.

    So they take all of Ukraine. Russia now has a border with a nato country, the thing they're allegedly going to war to prevent. Fucking brilliant.

    Yeah maybe Russia should stop their invasion of Ukraine so the war can end.

    Similarly: the only reason there's a war in Iran is because the United States sent its Navy there.

    Imperialist invaders fucking off and going home challenge (impossible)

    That data center story was found to be false as soon as it came out, but you're still riding high on it I see.

    I don't have any data on ad hominems, only natural resources and other real things.

    America bad? Well, we're currently arming over 80% of all dictatorships globally, sooo.... You tell me. Russia isn't doing that. China isn't doing that.
