Please tell me the benefits of running a genocidal war of aggresion for anyone that isn't Putin.
The "bullying into submission" is a paranoid fabrication of an increasingly unhinged fascist regime. Ukraine had no intention of joining NATO until this war, and now as a result of this fiasco even Finland has decided to join. And your usage of this particular phrase shows that this whole affair is Russia throwing a temper tantrum at its irrelevancy on the global stage. And if Russia is indeed balkanized into statelets (hopefully not, we don't need even more nuclear quasi-states) it will be the fault of the guy currently pissing himself in a bunker near Kremlin.
Once again, tankie, Russia is waging a war of aggresion. All they have to do to prevent their defeat is to turn their tanks around and go back to Moscow. But that would mean the surefire end of strongman politics and the fall of Putin, so gadflies such as yourself have to regurgitate propaganda. And lamenting the loss of USSSR, imao, the country that was so prosperous that it a wall had to be built in order to stop people from escaping it. Truly a workers paradise. Perhaps 80 years of economical mismanagement and political repression was responsible for its collapse, and not invisible NATO gremlins with sledgehammers.
The global South has neither the economical leverage, nor the political will to impose sanctions. They are staying away from this because they gain nothing from it.
Please stick to posting on lemmygrad, you are embarrasing yourself outside of your echo-chamber.
