The war should’ve been avoided. It could’ve been avoided.
Russia was trying to negotiate. Instead, our stupid government wanted this war and made sure it happened. We’ve spent 60-100 billion to prevent part of Ukraine, Ukraine, an area of the world that means nothing in the broader scheme of things, from falling into Russia’s hands. Why? It’s not to protect Europe. Russia poses no threat to Europe. We can see that. Who knows the answer? But I’m sure it involves lots and lots of corruption, possibly the great reset. Look at our economy and Europe’s economy and our so-called President.
Russia will not retreat. They will not back down. They’ve lost too much now to turn back. Anybody can see that. They are now, according to Newt Gingrich and many others, deciding whether to use weapons of mass destruction. We have CREATED a global threat where there was none. If nukes are used, expect that YOUR life will be under threat, financial markets will crash into oblivion. This is surreal. What I really don’t get is that conservatives are backing this.
They may not have a choice if domestic opposition to full war footing - which is what likely would be necessary - is too great. And Putin won't be around forever. The war could degenerate into slow attrition, and last until he's gone.
