    more a comment of “if we defeat this country they’ll be too ashamed to start another war” when if you look at it globally that’s never the case, they’ll start a new one whenever they think they can win; i didn’t mean to make it a comment on “will russia will invade the baltics” or w/e which i don’t think they will, lmao

      I see what you mean.

      My thinking was, from Russia’s view this is primarily a defensive war to prevent NATO encirclement, it’s not an imperialist expansionist war. The thing that will prevent them from further conflicts is to stop trying to encircle them with NATO. Which we know won’t happen.

      Whatever and however Ukraine ends up, Europe and America will continue to fund conflicts while pinning the blame entirely on Russia to further their own imperialist ambitions of dominating Russia, and Europe will happily fall in step.
