I would laugh if this wasn’t beyond grim. Grinding young and old so US companies can extract profit from an entire continent.
When talking about this with my lib friends, I suggested that maybe if Ukrainans went back in time to 2022, they might have decided that suing for peace in exchange for land would have been a better outcome than all the death and destruction that was about to come. He immediately retorted that, if we went back in time, that we should have spent a trillion dollars on weapons and marched on Moscow. I expected strong pushback during that conversation but I honestly didn’t expect “we should have had an even more horrific war and given even more money to the military industrial complex”
I think we must laugh, what else is there to do for them now? Apart from explaining this was mostly people who didn’t want to fight who fought, pressed into it by neonazis and NATO mercenaries, and all the war’s supporters have been hiding out in the West plugging their ears. Once everyone understands the premises, I think we can laugh.
