Not letting Russia in NATO seems like a historical cringe point. Russia in NATO would have wedded Russia to the west much more, potentially stopping this Multipolar present from happening.
Seriously starting to think about what a postwar UKR would be. Divided to some extent for sure, maybe Poland is in the west as a peace keeping force through UN/EU/NATO. Wonder what that would do to the internal political situation, the Poles don't like the Banderite government either but are chuds in their own particular idiom as well. After the war, I wonder if the left will have any prospects after Zelinsky had them all outlawed throughout the course war. Of course there will also be deep hatred of RUS in postwar UKR too, so idk where that leaves this situation. Unless RUS tries to fight other countries in western UKR I don't see UKR not being altered territorially, but I don't think RUS would do that because 1 the nuclear deterrent and 2 they're basing the legality of this war on protecting Russians abroad and protecting their security interests, a demilitarized government, even if occupied by some type of peacekeeping force would seem to be satisfactory and 3 they may not even be capable of it anyway. Of course the parts under RUS control are simply joining with RUS.
Oh yeah also wondering how the UKR will be liking the terms of that IFM loan in a year or so and the political pressure that will make. They've already stripped the state of many assets. Unfortunately I don't think there will be a Marshall plan for UKR
Yeah there's a clear pattern of CIA drug laundering from the French connection Sicilian/Italian mafia through the contras and other right wing death squads to freeway Rick Ross and the crack epidemic and as you say our warlords in Afghanistan
They are both launching the largest counter attack and not launching it, just probing. Definitely not getting their asses kicked and loosing soldiers by the thousands
I'm still waiting for Prigozhin to report 15 thousand dead from the Bolgorod offensive 😒.
Seriously wondering what his deal is and the extent of the truth and his proganda function
