Well, the deep-state elites running the Kremlin are ones who are stubborn. They are sending poor Russians to be slaughtered on the killing fields ok Ukraine.
+450.000 Russians either killed or ravaged, already. A generation lost.
Russian imperialism is the Russian citizens worst enemy.
They have had enough of Moscow’s forever wars…
fixed it, froggie
Bla bla bla.
This war was started by us in October 2021 with our NATO move.
And it is continued by us with a constant flow of money and weapons.
The victory parades and slogans are already beginning to fade away from our media. We are already beginning to “manage expectations.”
What is left is a very grim reality and future for Ukraine. Not Russia, but Ukraine who’s currency is worthless, Ukraine that is massively indebted, Ukraine that is looking at a demographic implosion, Ukraine that lost >37% of their GDP, Ukraine that that went to war over NATO and won’t be a member, but also lost all chances of EU membership which was in reach before the war, Ukraine which lost ~16% of their landmass, a major industrial area, their steel industry and major port city.
What you’re left with are imaginary casualties, wonder weapons, dreams about counter-offensives that go no where, some “hope” today that Ukraine doesn’t lose land any faster than they are.
And who is in a “forever war?” Since 1991 we (the US) have had 251 different real world military operations around the world. We have our troops in more nations than anyone else, have more troops outside our border than anyone else, spend more on war than anyone else, sell more arms than anyone else, attacked more nations than anyone else, invaded more nations than anyone else, sponsored more coups than anyone else, have one of the biggest military’s in manpower, have one of the biggest nuclear arsenals but the most weapons deployed... We have not had (((one day of peace))) in 33 years since the Cold War ended (the end of the Cold War only made us become more belligerent - without the balance of power by the Soviets and Warsaw Pact), and it’s us that’s attacking, invading, and sponsoring coups while talking about peace.
