The costs of Russia’s war are about to hit home
Vladimir Putin will be unable to protect citizens from the pain

Europe especially due its inertia, is able to secure alot of assistance to Ukraine. In value EU already secured 2x times US military assistance value.
Ofc the real plan is not to wait until as much as 2032... I Guess the Western countries hope to weaken Russia as much as possible until Putin get out, and this without a major collapse, or "humiliation..."

As you know "humiliation" is baaad, really baaaaad.

Your delusional bud, do you.

so the UK really wants to have boots on the ground in ukraine to train troops

looks like certain people want an escalation, these guys will be a legitimate target

Nah, UK doesn't really want to train on site finally; but it changes nothing anyway....

ALOT of the ruscists leaders have all their sons, daughters, families, and even "safe places" and assets (thought their famillies) in western countries.
The nuclear threats and related "escalations" are not to be taken that seriously. The day they call all their families back to home, well... We will know it.
A "too violent" collapse of Russia, however, is a real risk.

Elon master troll

https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1708629197617336398?s=46&t=Clvaf6rKkSLkdAtdE744Gg

Why is Elon Musk doing this?

His quote-retweets are full of people literally melting down. Is it just for the memes?

He's an attention-seeking narcissist. For marketing purposes, he also needs to cultivate and maintain his image as an eccentric vanguard who's ahead of the contemporary mainstream.

He got F U money is why. Populist wishes they could do the same right now. The war support is not there among the population even though Democrats been beating war drum hard. Gonna see more F U moments. He was at border right? Seen some feeling the F U heat there as well

To my mind, Elon Musks view is : He will state his opinion, even if it comes at a cost to himself or his company. People dont like him because he states his opinion.
I did not agree with his tweets related to the diver [ pedo tweet ] and it was shameful that he did not simply say sorry for that. He supported Ukraine when no one else could and now he is questioning the war. I dont see a problem with people questioning the war noting there are alot of bad things happening (such as: people are not allowed to have an opinion other then "Russia Bad").
