I’m so fucking tired of all of this, they literally attempted to hit Kremlin with drone before a week and Russia still didn’t curb stomp them for some reason. Hundreds are dying in Donbas still, this has been going on since 2014, Donbas is still not free, soldiers are dying, I don’t even know at this point. What’s the problem in just evaporating Kiev, clown and his neo nazi regime and be done with it? I don’t even know how their army is still functionally operating after all the weapons and infrastructure destroyed and crippled, hundreds of thousands of soldiers killed and hundreds dying daily.
Hordes of nazis on the internet and news don’t show signs of stopping of talking about Ukraine 24/7 even after more than a year of this madness.
I literally can’t take it anymore, when will this end?
The current Russian strategy as I understand it is to use Ukraine the way NATO used Afghanistan on the USSR - to drain the bloc of resources. This is partially by planning, partially by the design of the material conditions. Russia is surrounded by NATO puppet regimes, so they can only allocate so many resources towards Ukraine.
NATO is constantly trying to bring other nations into this conflict so as to increase the amount of troops they can allocate towards defeating Russia by putting the statehood and livelihood of other nations on the line which would force entire armies to join and not only nazi mercenaries. Since the beginning of the SMO we have seen coup attempts in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Georgia, and IIRC Uzbekistan. There have been aggressions in nations Russia is materially involved in peacekeeping such as Serbia, Transnistria, and Armenia. Ukraine has also casually fired missiles supposedly accidentally into Romania and IIRC Poland as well and tried to blame Russia for this.
The west can only allocate so much funding to this war due to the large debt to GDP, and primarily their obligations to the rate of profit and the liquidity of capital (simply keeping the western economy alive as it is in a state similar to an elderly person whom has eaten steak and smoked their entire life)
So for the time being, it is what it is. But it should work…very slowly
