oh god the russia bot reddit npc dialogue script has leaked onto lemmy nooo

population numbers do you understand them

the western world will be rearming, just not ukraine

cltr+f’d ‘aid’ on your first article, no results (other than it hitting other words with aid in it)

that article is literally just about the military industrial complex being spun up in western europe instead of shit like housing lmao, nowhere does it suggest that ukraine will be receiving any of that, only that the money will be going to ‘defence’, this is not a war ecomony and I suspect you dont know what that is.

furthermore I suspect most of that money will be spent replenishing all of the things they just gave away, you realize

there is no re-armament, none of the western ecomonies are geared for war, only the american military is and they are done sharing there surplus.

all that the west had to give was what it could afford to give away from its reserves without crippling there own defence sectors, russia has a active war ecomony, the west does not.

20 yards of linen, now put down the knife before someone gets buttered

its hilarious people who goad putin for not waging war like america does, which is just to kill everyone without consideration

Most of the collective west is currently undergoing a thinly veiled reccession and electing more and more unstable forms of government, like the neo-nazi gov of italy, the shitshow that is UK politics (which is doing worse economically than russia, a country at war) and the clown parade that is the american govs complete inability to do anything for its own people.

There is already talk of pulling aid from Ukraine in many EU states like Austria and the US is starting to pivot towards Taiwan and has been calling this recent push ‘Ukraines last chance’, which they are admitting is failing.

The paymasters are calling time.

someone who uses tankie is almost always someone who claims to be a socialist but has not read marx

Ukraine are forced to the table when the west stops sending them money, which I wager will be within a year.

what it entails are the borders freezing and everyone getting bored of sending 17 year olds through minefields

east ukraine will never be part of ukraine again, do you really think there is a going back now over a million people have died?

with a peace agreement

I dont care about either sides goals because im not naive enough to buy into military propoganda, which the goals are.

During a war nothing either side says matters, you fatally misunderstand what happens to the media when a war breaks out, it just becomes another instrument of war, and as such nothing can be trusted but the satalite footage of where the war is and boots on the ground reports of people there, everything else is bullshit.

why should I give one shit about what russians goals where at the start of the war, the reality is its a meat grinder and the location of said meat grinder requires ukraine to move through it to advance, russia are setting the terms of this conflict and are in control.

2 more weeks to crimea

no ones bragging here, the material reality of the situation is ukraines casualities are 3:1 and russia remains in control of the conflict and where the lines are; every ukranian advancement recently has come at heavy cost

‘ukraine is totally winning’ he continues to say as 33% of ukraine remains occupied by russia
