The retards really can’t put it together that they are doing this because we keep pushing them into it. Congrats, Russia is spending more than it ever did on its military in the last 30+years.
It’s the equivalent of us getting rid of Saddam and saying it’ll somehow make the region more stable. It’s like we live in the upside down.
We aren't leaving them much in the way of choice. When the world bank cut them off from the Euro/USD and the EU and US started stealing their assets, they adapted by working with the Chinese, Indians, and potentially opening up trade with Iran. When the US and NATO funneled an endless supply of money and weaponry into Ukraine to be used against Russians, they started attacking the greater infrastructure of Ukraine, to make it more difficult to support both western Ukrainian cities and the front lines.
Now with the calls coming from the insanely loud minority for all out war against Russia, what other choice do they have but to spin up the war production machine once again? At what point does everyone step back and assess how we've gotten to a point that we have people calling for outright war against an ICBM/MIRV armed MASSIVE nuclear power who has done nothing to harm the US, or the EU?
Hell, our actions in blowing up their pipeline has done more harm to the EU than anything Russia has done in the last 30 years.
