    War is good for business. The military industrial complex is making bank on this shit.

    If anybody is curious, here is an article from 2014 when the ideological fronts weren’t as extreme as they are now. Everything was laid out already 10 years ago, and articles keep saying “nobody saw this coming” but all was perfectly predictable back then. And that means it was avoidable with a sensible diplomatic compromise: https://www.vox.com/2014/9/3/18088560/ukraine-everything-you-need-to-know

    But in the current situation Russia has no reason to negotiate or give back the land they occupy because they are basically getting what they want already.

    This war, the refugees, the austerity coming on the heels of the massive costs, the increasing wealth inequality, all of this is a gift for fascists in Europe.

    And no, you can’t attack Russia, they have nukes.
