I wonder what just happened to the Russians?
LOL. You mean those decrepit factories that rely an US and European machine tools? Or Russia's need to import armaments from Iran and North Korea? Or Russia's dependence on smuggled western integrated circuits for all of its missiles, drones, and aircraft?
Russia's entire GDP is about the size of Italy's or Texas'.
The only people “pushing this war” are the Russians. Nobody else wanted Russia to invade one of its neighbors.
