That’s the point. A disenfranchised people is an exploitable people.
Yep, for the capitalist class who wants to buy up new neo colonial territory, this is a feature, not a bug.
I don't think they did, at least the majority. I think the ghouls fantasy victory never included Ukraine winning. Instead i think the fantasy some of them believed was that if they prolonged the war, a la the Soviet-Afghan war, they could get a revolt/overthrow of the Russian Federation and install a US puppet regime.
Equally as delusional as a Ukrainian victory, but i think it fits into the kind of US NatSec ghoul delusion of US power.
I too think that was their plan. To big them down in a forever unwinnable war, cripple their economy with heavy sanctions and de-couple Russia form the rest of Europe.
However I don’t think they expected most of the world to not go along with it and their economy to cushion the blow.
Their military industrial complex still made a giant amount of profit though. I also think they now know that the NATO countries will just about go along with anything the US wants even if it hurts their own economy.
I believe they thought it likely that a situation would emerge from the war that they could spin as a victory for the west. Luckily, Putin's having none of that.
oh so finally the media cares about Ukrainians
