Reporting from the Wall Street Journal as well as recently unearthed video footage of an interview with a top lieutenant of President Zelensky reveal that Ukrainian leadership was not only well aware of the risk of a Russian invasion, but that Zelensky and company rejected a possible peace deal and instead allowed Russia to be pressured by the US and NATO to launch that invasion.

Good! Sanctions that are going to really sting Russia are incoming. They gotten bit pretty hard by Ukraine and the stinger missiles. Lines are being drawn in the sand and shit is about to hit the fan with their economy. Sweden and Finland wanting to join NATO now, LOL. They gonna invade Finland again? LOL. I give them about 10 years to start looking like North Korea. Russia is fucked. Have fun selling your shit to China! LOL

west already lost the economic war
now we're gonna face the blowback of launching it
western europe could be in the shit.. in 6-12 months there could be some serious unrest there
biden's really cocked this up, he ignored warnings from the fed & major banks against sanctions
murican global primacy is dead & it was suicide
(sounds retarded)
Sure thing pal! LOL It'll take about a year to see the effects. They failed once already from being cut off what makes you think they will be fine this time around?

if you mean the sanctions after 2014, that did cause a dent but I wouldn't call it a failure.
the've been battle-hardened from those sanctions & their central bank chief is very good.
last time the ruble dropped to 50% of what it was & stayed there
this time the ruble dropped by 30% and then recovered most of what was lost

this time is quite different because they're prepared to walk away whereas last time they had to eat the sanctions & kept trying to stay in western-led financial order
nobody wishes to see a total breakdown of the global financial order overnight but the damage is already done. The west can't be trusted any more & everyone knows it.
Russia is only spearheading & accelerating what was gonna happen over the next 1-2 decades.

"West cant be trusted..." LOL You are so fucking delusional its almost trolling at this point.
You are not paying much attention are you...
BTW, I am talking about the failed Soviet Union that tried to not play with the rest of the world and were cut off. I am not talking about the sanctions. The sanctions they are rolling out now are going to sting. The others were pussy footing around. I'd bet Russia will be cut off completely very soon.

eu playing poodle to washington & doubling down is only sealing their fate
it was the west cut the Soviets off by putting up an iron curtain in an attempt to arrest the spread of socialism
learn history broseph, current events will make more sense
I couldn't care less how informed or delusional you think I am, if you have something to say & can back it up, go for it. Civil debate is healthy, no?
