Russia’s population is approximately three and a half times the size of Ukraine’s and Putin certainly has no qualms about sending young men into the meat grinder.

There it is! She just couldn’t help herself, huh. So Putin is more than happy to send his people to slaughter but Zelenskyy somehow isn’t? Be fucking for real now.

Circumventing sanctions and strengthening ties with the likes of China, Iran and North Korea has allowed him to pivot his economy on to a war footing.

Ah yes, they only did it with the help a country that is about to collapse any moment, a pariah state in the Middle east and the gulag-country where everyone is starving. At the start of the war the liberals were gleefully saying how Russia's GDP is lower than that of Texas, and yet with the help of three (supposedly poor) countries they were able to out-produce and out-match the might of the combined power of Western rich and thriving economies. I know I shouldn't let it, but liberal cognitive dissonance really annoys me.

Ukraine never really had a chance, it’s extremely fucked up that US/NATO forced them to reject all negotiations and fight a tragic and destructive war just so the West could bleed Russia a bit, it’s also fucked up that they fed everyone propaganda that they could’ve ACTUALLY won. Kiev/Kyiv could've taken the deal early on and had been neutral and officially never part of NATO (of which the West never had true intentions of having them join regardless) and avoided all of this madness with nothing more but a bloody nose and a bruised ego. But now they’re going to be forced to kowtow to Moscow and PRAY that Putin will go easy on them.
