Since Russia's Rubel and Stocks are crashing from this. I wonder what long-term damage Putin is going to be doing to his own country, along with reparations from this shyt. Surely this is just short term stuff, but this is some serious shyt he is doing, and there is always a bounce back from these actions.
Right... no way an Authoritarian government invades a country that results in crashing their own economy

If China gets the flexing on Taiwan and this Russia thing is protracted by months, just know the price of the brick, the car and the gas are going up :yeshrug:

Chip shortage is already an issue and Taiwan got like 65% of global production.

I’d be looking to cop a bike right now cuz when a 5-yr old Honda Accord starts going for $15-$20K and gas hits $5-6 a gallon nationwide, it’s gonna be a wrap like a burrito.

Oh yea, interest rate hikes coming next month as well.

Breh if this was about Authoritarianism, he never makes this move. This is why many experts thought this was a bluff because Putin cuts off his nose to spite his face.

He's been running an Authoritarian government for 20 years and no one gave a fukk. Invading Ukriane is a restoration of Soviet territory and principles.... and now everyone gives a fukk.

Do y'all really not get what's coming?? Lmao
THis dude is a lunatic. Anyone dapping him is also a lunatic.

Putin is no communist but I agree with everything else. He is a crony capitalist that wants to restore the glory days of USSR without the communism
He don't want the USSR.

He wants to be a Czar under the Russian flag.

Y'all are stuck on Soviet this and USSR that. The man legit just spent an hour describing the Soviet era as a mistake and a betrayal to the Russian people :dwillhuh:

He does not consider the USSR the glory days. He considers the Russian Empire the glory days. I don't know why that's hard to come to terms with.

This is a re-establishment of pre-Soviet Russia. The Soviets literally gave away the places he is taking back.

He's not a communist.
He's not a USSR rose-tinted nostalgisr.

He's the anti-thesis of both.
You still putting stock in what this bozo says in public??? Ok I'm done

Geopolitics and environmentalism clashing directly. German Greens are anti-nuclear energy and helped shut down their nuclear production capabilities. Ensured biggest economy in Western Europe cannot disassociate itself from Russia, no matter what they do.

I remember people saying they shouldn’t do it for that reason alone. Germans should have known better.

The removal of the Ukranian state is a key part of post-Soviet geopolitics. They genuinely believe that if Ukraine exists in it's current state there is no reason even discussing Russia as the world's leading power. Ukraine is not a random target or a sudden one. This has been a belief of theirs since the 90s.

I didn't watch the entire thing. If thats true that is even more horrifying. He is stuck in the 18th and 19th century. He has truly lost his mind.

Exactly. That's the whole point. This is worse than "oh boy Soviets Part 2". This is a man acting with the belief that he is the next Great and operating on some holy call to undo the last century of Russian struggling and belittlement by the west. He's going back to where at all started.

Breh you nikkas have it wrong. There is no worldwide expansion of current the Russia state in today's world. It's impossible.

With the act comes the credits. He'll have no choice but to attain and distribute resources in an extremely restricted economy while occupying sovereign lands.

It’s not too difference from China’s feeling about the 19th and first half of the 20th century. A national humiliation that needs to be rectified.
