@zachsdorfman Have you listened to what the hardliners say? Or the Orthodoxy, end of days fundementalists... Putin might just be the most rational one left. Happens when you toss all opposition out the window, literally. A 200k force could never hold Ukraine, probably not Kyiv.

@caitoz Are you suggesting that Russian military doctrine based on reflexive theory does not include the harsh treatment of the enemy as a tactic to to force an outcome? As a pacifist you must know rape is a long used weapon or often just a by product of dehumanizing .

@Jettdirector @KimDotcom Such a fallacy as US is at capacity and it's not like US Crude is red, white and blue and Russian Crude is blue, white, and red. Why not just blame China and their efforts at remenibi as the currency of Crude? Leaders of the world know who did it. Twitter fools like us do not.
