If Russia comes out of this conflict with any gains at all that could be construed as "worth it" for their side it will be an open invitation to keep invasions on the table as a method to apply again in the near future.

What a moronic take. As though whether or not Russia decides to take all of Europe is based on this one border conflict

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago

Russia is literally the biggest country in the world with massive natural resources and very low population density. The idea that Russia will sacrifice its relatively small population for the sake of additional territorial gains is preposterous.

They're literally doing that right now, though

Yet the main reason countries at Russia's border want to join NATO is to not get attacked by Russia.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 0 points 10 months ago

Nah, the main reason is that their political systems have been captured by US, while propaganda groups like the NED have poured billions into trying to shape public opinion. Yet, despite all that we're now starting to see a huge backlash against all that from the public. The massive farmer protests are just the start of that.

Oh wow, it's the tankie version of US exceptionalism where the US controls everything and is all powerful.

The US had like zero influence in the baltics when they joined, same for Georgia when they wanted to join.

Not sure how farmer protests are involved but I hope you know that the vast majority of farmers in those protests are just people who own the farm. They don't actually work those farms and the protests so far have been against climate regulations that cut into their profit margin.

Image believing that US had zero influence in the Baltics despite all the evidence to the contrary.

[-] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Imagine not knowing the history of the baltics

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 0 points 10 months ago

looks like you don't have to imagine

Ouch, what a pain, kid

[-] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com -2 points 10 months ago

Nope, not true, but provide no facts

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

This is publicly available information. Spend a bit of time learning how google works instead of trolling here.

[-] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

Your talking about the bits which don't support your 'facts'. Unless your looking at what's publicly available in Russia. Troll off, troll

So if the author's opinion is correct, then that would not be a good outcome. Do you think they're wrong?
