I'm saying Putin can stop this war right now by going home. This is all Putins' fault supported by oligarchs. It makes complete sense for putin to accept these terms, because he will eventually be forced to.
There are no oligarchs in Russia.
Words have meanings. An oligarch is someone who has political power through wealth.
Russia is an autocracy, and Putin allows people to be rich, so long as they don't try to translate that into political power.
America has oligarchs, Russia just has rich people that contribute to an autocracy.
... I'm honestly not sure which is more evil as a political system.
I would say what is in the U.S. because there are more thorns that have to be removed from the rose.
What makes you believe we will eventually be forced? Do you still think our sanctions will make Russia collapse?
When the bombs are on his doorstep caused by his own ignorance.
So you're cheering for WW3?
No. That was not the question
