Rules:
Without a way to magically transport resources, there’s no chance of getting anything useful from Putin right now.
Looking ahead, Russia’s economy is in shambles. Even under ideal conditions, it’ll take years to recover.
Seriously, what’s his plan here?
The original plan was for three days.
He knows that he'll be Romanov'd, once he shows weakness.
Such a weird reality this thread lives in.
Why not 6% of gdp so that you can make extra gifts to blackrock via ukraine love.

Europe bending over backwards for trump sycophancy will join. Congratulations on your prosperity from a war on Russia.
I dislike capitalism, war and bullies. Putin represents all of those things.

I actually enjoy you guys, because you always get downvoted outside of your carefully controlled echo chambers, so at least I know the general populous isn't taking the bait.
Where are these "echo chambers"? I only see derangement places here.
They've been doused in Russia bad propaganda by their owners for decades now, and there's nothing more capitalism needs to sustain itself than an infinitely strong, infinitely weak enemy like Putin. Remember when they tried to paint him as a cancer patient that was sure to die by the end of the first year?
There is no long term plan. A few millions on an offshore account that is suddenly yours is enough for most to kill their entire nation.
Conservatives are Cancer.
Spite, I assume
Didn't Fico say he wanted to "do politics to all four sides" or some shit?
What an embarrassment of a person. Truly despicable, without a shred of spine.
