      What's the accidental good thing here, exactly? Getting several thousand civilians killed? Displacing countless more? Creating a new refugee crisis? Plunging the global south into a grain and oil shortage?

      Do you actually believe the line about denazification, and can you provide a meaningful roadmap as to how Russia could possibly achieve this?

      Owning NATO is all cool and good, but this wasn't the way. In addition to what I've already mentioned, this is only going to create and embolden even more Nazi weirdos not just in Ukraine, but all over the west, and the sudden influx of weaponry supplied by the west that has now gone to God knows where will be implemented in future stochastic terrorism, the blowback of which will not be felt for, let's say, another 5-10 years.

      Let me be clear, it's 100% NATO's fault for falsely goading Ukraine into thinking they'd have their backs and refusing to make even the slightest concession against Russia's concerns, but to call their bluff and simultaneously confirm and affirm the very ostensible reason for NATO's existence is the stupidest fucking thing I could ever think of, and this dipshit game has cost the lives of countless innocents.

      But, sure, for a brief moment, NATO looked kinda dumb, when you think about it. Never mind that this is the biggest favor they ever got in terms of arms sales and expansion

        The accidentally good thing is the destruction of the Anglo-American hegemony, the fall of the USD as global reserve, the unraveling of the imperialist sanctions regime, the destruction of Ukrainian fascists, the liberation of the Russian speaking minority.
