    What does them having nuclear weapons have to do with anything?

    Oh I don’t know, their ability to drive the human species to extinction? You can’t enjoy your treats if you’ve been incinerated in a nuclear blast 😉

    Just because they have nuclear weapons they should be allowed to do whatever they want?

    Remind me again which country developed these weapons first, and then used them against civilian targets when their enemy had already been begging to surrender for six months?

    So the US should be free to invade any other nation without consequences too, right? What a joke.

    Did you know that history didn’t actually begin with the Ukraine War? Are you aware of how many governments the USA has overthrown worldwide since WW2?

    and this weakens Russia

    Weakness is when the enemy occupies a third of your territory and most of your productive capacity (Ukraine) and builds or strengthens alliances with other growing world powers (China, India, Brazil, and others). Weakness is when even liberals begin to understand the term “dedollarization,” which has the potential to be as devastating to the USA as a nuclear war.

    It saves money, right?

    Once again, you don’t seem to understand that you can’t save money when you’re dead. You would also save far more money if you took a break from deep-throating the capitalist boot.

    Russia wanted the same except with total annexation and subservience

    Where did any Russian official announce that the total conquest of Ukraine was the goal of the Special Military Operation? The goal was the denazification of Ukraine and the protection of Russian-speaking populations in the east. So long as Nazis keep committing suicide by hurling themselves into Russian artillery bombardments, I don’t see how these goals are difficult to achieve.

      You are implying I agree with US invasions, which I don’t.

      You’re also implying that since the US did it Russia should be allowed to. Is it bad when the US does it or not? If the US doing it is bad, then Russia doing it must also be bad (unless you don’t actually care about invasions, but just like Russia/don’t like the US). Be consistent or your opinion doesn’t have any value.
