So the war, boycotts and sanctions were for nil?
I remember people calling me an idiot and a Russian shill for saying this would happen only months ago 🤣
Peace negotiations were always going to be the outcome, as they are with almost all wars. All the stuff like the Russian economy collapsing, Ukraine's advance into Kursk forcing Russia to withdraw from Ukraine, Russia running out of troops etc. was always pie in the sky nonsense.
You don't have to be any kind of shill to see that. This predicted Russian defeat has not been forthcoming.
Sadly it took three years of a horrific war for the west to start realizing this.
I understand that not everything can be easily transitioned to renewables, but my gosh when sanctions started I stupidly thought in addition to throwing money at the war effort, we would throw money into energy independence through solar, wind, and renewables. We didn't, of course, so now we're back to square one, minus so many lives needlessly taken.
Someone give the news to the jerks at @Ukraine communities.
they're just as well funded, connected, and supported as isreali zionists; they have the means to see this and already know.
They must be pissed. All they can say is love Ukraine, hate Russia. Any other conversaion is banned from their community.
saddened is probably more likely since most ukranians were led to believe that they coulld join nato and things would be better.
it's only those of use either inside the imperial core of nato or completely outside of nato who can see its decline just the same; those at the periphery are unware that they're the cannon fodder that the american empire uses to conqueror others like russia or china.
