Nonsense - bann Russia from uefa, FIFA, all the global federations, forbid Microsoft, BMW, mercedes, cola etcm from working here, the whole world can easily turn Russia into another N Korea, surely we won't die but our life will turn into absolute shithole with Chinese everything
Just turn off Russian access to DOTA2, CSGO, and a few other games. This conflict ends instantly.

I still don’t understand what Russia, with an economy roughly the size of Canada, will gain from this long term.

Inb4 AOC celebrates this as a great step towards addressing climate change
This war is not against Ukraine or NATO, this war is against the possibility of Ukraine (and Georgia) becoming a prosperous county after ditching autocracy and becoming democratic. That is what Putin is fighting for - himself.

But what does he gain by capturing Ukraine? Still don’t see the benefit.

i think it’s a move to stay in power more than anything. Russia is doing terribly economically and in every other way. Miserable population, etc.

war is his way of trying to consolidate power and bring the country together. Otherwise, the population would be close to kicking him out, most of them already seem fed up with him.

that’s just imo

He’s been saying for years that the collapse of USSR was the biggest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century (not WWI or WWII lol). It seems pretty clear has long harboured aspirations of restoring the old Soviet Union to its former glory.
That’s the strange part. USSR was no match to western economic power. Russia is not better.

This would be catastrophic for Russia
