can commies explain to me like im 5, what is the strategic importance of places like stinky, ukraine?for the past 5 years hivans have been kvetching that "place xyz is about to fall, kief is next" but then after months of brutal urban and trench fighting (in which they claim russia suffered >"neglibible casualties"while hohols lost "a million men" lmao), town/village X falls and nothing happens. ack-mutt was supposed to be>oinkraines very last line of defensepast which there were only open fields for russians to traversebut then ack-mutt fell and russians didnt really advance very far past it. theyve been "le cauldroning" slovyansk and kramatorsk for like 2 years now and they still havent gotten around to encircling them.so uhhh, if and when stinky falls, how exactly does this matter? whats its strategic importance besides the meme highway, the magical, mystical highway which im told 100% of ukraine's supplies have to go through to reach donbas, as was the case with bakhmut, chasiv yar, etc.ukraine had its magical supply line highways captured 50 times already and its still fightingso what does stinky matter? please explain
Lots of good farmland and natural resources and industrial centers
>>539525394Aren’t commies anti-Ukraine because they want to restore the USSR?
>>539525431and that helps russians in their war effort, how exactly? theyre not hurting for empty fields and stinky isnt exactly a military-industrial complex powerhouse
>>539525394>what is the strategic importance of places like stinky, ukraine?Read Halford Mackinder's essays on "heartland theory" and "rimland theory". Or watch some short videos on youtube to get the general idea.
>>539525505they see russia as some kind of moral and spiritual successor to the ussr. a counterforce to the "evil decadent west" which "horribly exploits" their backwards brown third world shitholes
>>539525720im sorry, are you proposing now that Stinky, or kramatorsk, or slovyansk, are the heartland of eurasia?thats their importance?stinky and surrounding potato fields comprise the entirety of the eurasian heartland?
interesting how shills who usually swarm to russia-ukraine related threads are silent now
>>539525394If the war ends, the war economy ends. So they will keep it going to put off as long as possible
>>539528301didnt russia just suspend the sales of treasury bonds, because no one was buying?i think the war may eventually end within a year or two whether they like it or not
