Incidentally, I’ve been saying that Russia would annex the productive eastern regions, leaving a rump state in western Ukraine that Europe would be forced to prop up with billions, or face a massive refugee crisis from the very start. The mainstream press has finally caught up. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/480378/348104

    Sarcasm? I’ll use this to just apeak some thoughts:

    To reduce the population of ukraine, redirect tax money to the rich, keep ukraine from being neutral or god forbid side with russia once the empire collapses, prepare for war with russia. Many reasons. None of them had to do with the normal people living in ukraine.

    The answer would have been to back down, invite a delegation from russia and europe and have them discuss this, staying neutral, booting the putschists from power and holding elections with international observation.
