I'm not an expert, but wasn't completely destroying eastern Ukraine a bit counterproductive?
>>543237338I don't think Putin even knows why he does what he does at this point.
>>543237338Russia invaded because Azov was attacking Eastern Ukraine
>>543237338It's called war, go watch some videos of mariupol, it's rebuilt, you can see pol threads in the archive showing how fucked it was and how it will never recover, guess what a few years later and life is back to normal
>>543237492proofs?
>>543237338-It's land NATO will never get back ever-Russia gets bigger-NATO is weaker and exposed to be piss-scared of war, while loading off keeping their security onto Ukraine, which has de facto no future-Russia will rebuild and keep goingI see no issue. The west's problem is they let value of life get too high. Now they have no one to be replacable in a war. They're fattened up cows ready for slaughter.
>>543237625Ukraine isnt in NATO
>>543237439I can only presume that someone in Russia expects to make money from Ukraine that they couldn't have made with Ukrainian authorities around.
>>543237557>a few years later and life is back to normalso, just like in Gaza !
John mearsheimer said it was area denial to prevent the west from having ukraine by destroying it basicallyRegardless, it seems the ukrainian people are the biggest losers, I really cannot believe anyone in eastern europe looks at the west and trusts us. Look at paris and london, that is the future of eastern europe.
>>543237809>Look at paris and londonwhat about them?
>>543237986I wouldn't expect an easterner such as yourself to understand, but the west is literally genociding itself. I have no idea why anyone in eastern europe would align with us.
>>543238181>the west is literally genociding itself.is it ?
>>543238280It isn't, but I'm fine with the rest of the world continuing to tell themselves that
>>543238280>The west can't be trusted>Look at Russia>Next generation is sent into waves after waves of suicidal rush.I don't know, he's probably a seething poojeet>>543238336If that mean they stay home, sure.
>>543237338a proper undisturbed corridor for all things russia to odessa seems like a strategic win
>>543238377>If that mean they stay home, sure.oh, nononono
>>543237492So you'd agree that completely destroying that thing which they are ostensibly defending, is counterproductive.
>>543237338Dude, 90% of rus gov/elites are ethnic Ukrainians. It's not about russians.It's civil war between Ukrainians
>>543239051same shit we know
>>543238460When will they take Odessa?
