lmao the war in ukraine really was just a Democrat political project
And their response to the genocide and pogroms in Palestine proved their hypocrisy.
Well no, this has been a bipartisan project stretching back decades. Brzezinski Mapped Out the Battle for Ukraine in 1997
i wonder if it was an american military industrial complex fueled excuse to create a new profit stream in a new proxy war between russia and nato.
ukraine is perfect because the russians will never give them up for a myriad of reasons and that guarantees that american military contractors will be able to milk profits from ukraine as a proxy battleground country for as long as both russia and the united states exist; longer than any of us here today.
The sanctions applied by the west have been the best thing that could have happened to the Russian economy in decades. Their import substitution policy accelerated and even after the war they will now have competitive industries that wouldn't have been considered economically viable had Russia continued to buy cheaper goods from the west. I sometimes think the continuation of the war is collusion by the US and Russia to keep both of their economies doing great at the expense of Europe, who are too busy with their hubris to realise they're getting screwed here.
i wonder how much of that economic progress will remain after the ukranian war.
The Russian ruling class would need to disabuse themselves of neoliberal dogmas
in that case: i wonder how much "soviet union" is still lives in russia and whether or not there's enough to keep the economic progress from vanishing.
True
It turns out actually making things is an important part of the economy and i don't think their increasing manufacturing capacity is going anywhere. And if the sanctions end it's even easier to keep making oil money
and the EU vassals went with it blindly
Because Trump won?
...we're jumping to conclusions a bit, aren't we?
