Russia has a deep and powerful history and brilliant people.
But Russia today is a regional power, whose economy is about the same as Canada or Italy. It struggles to conduct elementary combined arms operations against a novice, fragile, military like Ukraine. The regime has a brazen willingness to harm people and subvert institutions, in a deeply malicious way, but even this is well monitored by western intelligence services.
Separately and additionally, Western countries are providing sophisticated anti tank and anti-air missiles and unit level intelligence to the Ukraine forces. This for example, let the Ukrainians shoot down the Russian VDV like rabbits. There’s protests at the tens of thousands in cities across the world, and also in Russian cities.
I don’t see how supporting aid for Ukrainians would be inflammatory in this context.
Based on the above, it’s pretty hard for me to get into the mindset that produced your comment to me, and your rather ominous comment to Karolina.
Yeah, no?
