Who accurately knows the truth about Russia – Ukraine ?
Do you know Putin is the new Hitler?
Will the war between Russia and Ukraine end?
What is the result after that?
Violence always rebounds on itself.
Just remember the Russian military struggled against Finland in 1940 and was considered a joke. Just 5 years later the same army controlled half of Europe.
The Russian military shouldn’t be written off so easily. Yes they aren’t as powerful as we thought but they can still cause damage. Just look at Mariupol and Eastern Ukraine. They can and have caused a lot of damage. And they’re learning their lessons the hard way in Ukraine. If they reform and rebuild they’ll be much more powerful soon enough.
Many example as Nixon said in a 1992 interview which is available in intrenret that it was critical to get it right for freedom in Russia. If we fail, the 21st century would be a grave challenge because the authoritarians in the PRC would view it as a test case.
He was right. And now we, our children, and our grandchildren will have to pay the piper it seems.
Russia has done over $100 billion worth of damage to Ukraine. It will take decades to repair even with the help of the EU and the West. I hope the leaders of the EU and the West will find ways to confiscate Russian assets to help pay for the rebuilding of Ukraine.
Ukraine will have their country destroyed. Many of their men, women and children killed. They will be gone forever. They will face years of rebuilding. They will have the West to help them rebuild. Their economy will recover much faster than Russia. They will have a leader to take them forward. They will have a generation traumatized by this event, just as their great grandparents were traumatized by the Holodomor.
But most of all, they will have their freedom which is more important than just about anything else.
Russia will have a much more difficult time. Their infrastructure will not be destroyed like Ukraine. But the economy will take a generation to rebuild. They have lost their customers. Their GDP will contract. Their money will be worthless. They will be under sanctions for years to come. Inflation will be rampant. Stores will have empty shelves. Russia will be in much the same situation it was before the Soviet Union collapsed.
But more importantly, Russia will be vilified in the international community. It will be a pariah. They will be the new Germany of the 1930–40’s. Putin is the new Hitler. No one will want to be associated with them .
Ukraine is not part of Europe or NATO. Neither have any International rights to assist in attacking Ukraines enemies, that is by international law. The result could be the cause of WW3 and the destruction of the planet. I believe the UN could/should insert a peace keeping force, they have that ability.
I agree 100%. Putin will get the return to the days of USSR but it will not be pleasant for him or Russia
