And that makes it okay for them to escalate it, how?

Right, Ukraine was fighting corruption. Russia entered on the side of… corruption.

It’s so fucking funny when the geopolitics understanders who have been drip-fed NATO propaganda state the clear opposite of reality and think they made an insightful comment.

Russia has all but won the military conflict, as has been made clear by this utter failure of a “counteroffensive.” Russia is doing better economically than before the SMO, despite the supposed economic wunderwaffen sanctions that only backfired and hurt NATO countries. Russia has only gained support by most of the rest of the world and has showed the global south that the US/NATO are indeed paper tigers. Russia has all the leverage now. So yes, for Russia to compromise right now would be bad for them because they don’t need to compromise, they can keep going as they have been and eventually have their demands met, or Ukraine/NATO can recognize they’ve lost and make a bid for peace by acquiescing to Russia’s demands before more lives are needlessly lost.

Ukraine on the other hand will be crippled for decades regardless of how things pan out. Ukraine is now deeply indebted to Western countries, has already had all national assets sold off, has had a major chunk of its working-age population killed or maimed, and is beholden to a fascist, nazi-worshipping government.

As for Germany, yeah they have been working to the end of hobbling themselves for decades too by allowing their remaining industrial capacity to be completely gutted, kowtowing to their US masters that bombed their infrastructure to prevent them ever again getting oil from ‘The Bad Country,’ they have irreparably removed nuclear power as an option even as they’re facing an impending energy crisis (in large part because of aforementioned no-oil-from-bad-country), and are right now also sliding towards right wing populism.

You mean the Russians that Russia settled there? Curious what you think about the Uighurs getting to break away a country from China.

O rly? Because I thought things were simple. I, like everyone who isn’t already fully on team hexbear, am an idiot. Please cite your sources.

Lol racist libs, amirite? Idiot.

No, and you could easily investigate if you were actually earnestly asking that instead of just coping by being snarky.

This thread is at the top of active on hexbear (after the weekly pinned threads). And we all know there’s gonna be libs here yearning for

It’s both funny and sad that the reddit diaspora culture you’re immersed in has carried over such a tradition of pointless snark and petty posturing that you see people supporting each other’s points and can’t imagine anything but a sinister conspiracy to derail you, the main character.

Like for the first time in maybe your whole life you’re experiencing social media without a big corporate hand on the cultural scale, and you can either learn or continue to shit your pants amusingly.

Oh look, calling communists fascists

Surely people who do that aren’t supportive of double genocide theory, which Jewish holocaust scholars condemn as carrying water for nazism.

T34s were part of the army that defeated nazi Germany. Cope and seethe.

You named yourself after a Nazi dive bomber.

Your username is literally stuka. Also, remember when Germany had their asses destroyed by the red army? That was funny.

Why do you think Ukrainians don’t want to defend their country?

If you suggest they better surrender asap because Russia has a bigger army, who do you think should be next?

They’ll slow their offensive to match. But every invader they can kill, every tank they destroy is one the next guys won’t have to fight.
