Inflation, the World economy, and international and domestic supply chains are the worst they have been in about a half-century.
We're on the cusp of a large conventional war in Europe and Hawks are licking their chops at the prospect.
Tens of thousands of bodies pile up in Eastern Europe as the US Military Complex grows fatter off new contracts as their deadly wares are used and replaced.
Pretty much every NATO country is significantly increasing Military Spending and rhetoric, with Russia doing likewise. For example, yesterday, Canada announced 40 billion in NORAD spending, and today, Russia announced significantly-expanded military spending.
We are ramping up for a potential civilization-ending Nuclear arms race as Russia and the US again increase warheads, a move begun three years ago when the US unilaterally withdrew from the INF Treaty.
Last week, Russia deployed additional nuclear-capable batteries in Eastern Europe, and is increasing and developing multiple-warhead ICBMs, with one being tested just yesterday.
This is not what "brilliant" looks like.
So, what are you proposing? A full withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine sounds like it would alleviate all of your concerns.
Alternatively, Ukraine could surrender the eastern territory, sign a treaty to not join NATO, not develop nukes and then it would be over.

I proposed nothing.
I posted facts, not opinion.
What are you proposing?
I've seen you post suggesting extermination of all 145 million Russians. Germany tried something similar 80 years ago.
Many of your posts have been Removed. Zero of mine have. What does that say?
"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line."
So, pointing out problems but offering no solution. You must be a politician. Always b*tching, but not doing anything to fix the issue.
And I’m also posting facts. The fact is that the war will end when Russia runs out of bodies and/or equipment to sacrifice for Putin’s ego. The sooner that happens the better. Then all your concerns about the economy, and nuclear weapons, etc… will be alleviated.
I can’t help it if the pro-Russian snowflakes don’t like hearing the truth that Russian troops have to die for Ukraine to survive, something that every single person with more than three functioning brain cells supports.
Did you hear about Lithuania blocking transit of sanctioned Russian goods to Kaliningrad? And Kremlin b*tching about it? What a sad bunch of losers

Or, Russia could realize that it’s a failed superpower and stop pretending like it matters on the world stage.
p.s. There are more Nazis in Russia right now than in Ukraine at any time in the last 50 years. Maybe Putib should start by denazifying Russia, then seeing if Russia wants to be part of the civilized world.

My solution is superior to yours because both sides get what they want: one side receives a signed anti-nato/nuke treaty and the other side receives a cease-fire.

Observations are to be discounted unless accompanied by a "solution"?
Might there be more than one possible resolution to the Ukraine conflict? Might each be contentious?
This and pretty much every message you've posted contains insult, illogical denigration, and appeals for and celebrations of death. It's literally baked into your posting name.
Noting facts you'd rather were ignored is not "Pro-Russian" nor necessarily requires having three or less "functioning brain cells".
You trivialize generational global inflation, broken supply chains, rampant militarization, and a new nuclear proliferation as "b*tching".

Right. A war started by Putin is pushing the world closer to “nuclear proliferation”. The same side’s blockade of grain shipments is contributing to a global food crisis.
There is not more than one morally acceptable solution to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The *only* solution is Russia’s full withdrawal. That happens when lots of Russian soldiers die. I’m sorry that this is a fact that you would rather ignore. If you are so heartbroken by the loss of Russian soldiers than you should be an outspoken critic of Putin’s aggression, which has already caused 20k Russian families to lose their sons in an senseless war. Rather, you are concerned about “insults”.
Or, Russia could realize that it’s a failed superpower and stop pretending like it matters on the world stage.

There’s no indication that Ukraine wants a ceasefire badly enough to give in to Russia’s demands.

That's eventually what Ukraine is going to have to do. Ukraine can't keep up their defense forever & Russia is not going to back down. The only way Ukraine comes out of this on top is if NATO & the U.S. engaged Russia in a direct war in Eastern Europe.
But the Global elites won't allow this to happen as it's too risky that Putin wouldn't retaliate with nukes creating a global thermonuclear war situation where everyone loses.
USA, EU nations, rich Asian countries and Australia/NZ will provide Ukraine with enough military equipment and support to bleed Russia dry of its military equipment and personnel. This might take a few years but with Russia tied up in the war they can’t progress and participate in global affairs. Russia is fighting a two front war, which never ends well. Russia are fighting sanctions and a military war. It will take a few years but Russia will collapse.

KYIV/KHARKIV (Reuters) - Russian forces pounded Ukraine's second largest city Kharkiv and surrounding countryside with rockets, killing at least 15 people, in what Kyiv called a bid to force it to pull resources from the main battlefield to protect civilians from attack. Inside Russia, a fire tore through an oil refinery just 8 km (5 miles) from the Ukrainian border. Russia's TASS news agency quoted a local official as saying it had been struck by a drone.
Wednesday is marked in both Russia and Ukraine as the "Day of Remembrance and Sorrow", anniversary of the day when Hitler's Germany attacked the Soviet Union. An estimated 27 million Soviet citizens died in World War Two. In Russia, President Vladimir Putin was expected to lay flowers at a memorial flame for the dead. World War Two plays a prominent role in Russian propaganda over the Ukraine invasion, which Putin calls a "special operation" to root out "Nazis".
The Russian strikes on Kharkiv, throughout Tuesday and continuing on Wednesday morning, were the worst for weeks in the area where normal life had been returning since Ukraine pushed Russian forces back in a major counter-offensive last month. “It was shelling by Russian troops. It was probably multiple rocket launchers. And it's the missile impact, it's all the missile impact," Kharkiv prosecutor Mikhailo Martosh told Reuters amid the ruins of cottages struck on Tuesday in a rural area on the city's outskirts.

The MSM has put away the lie that Ukraine is winning (although many here still cling to it -- rather shockingly) and moved on to Russia is massacring Ukraine and committing war crimes.

And some LRC posters are clinging to the belief the Russia hasn't lost at least 5 generals in one of the most shocking displays of military incompetence in the history of armed conflict.
p.s. Russia is committing war crimes. They have been since the first day they invaded Ukraine. The "MSM" has been covering this extensively since day one. I'm glad you're finally catching up.
p.p.s. Did you see that a Russian oil refinery suffered a drone strike this morning? *poof* giant fireball. I'll link the video if you want to see it.

More or less shocking display of incompetence than having a military budget larger than the next 30 countries combined, then invading Iraq and Afghanistan, hanging out there for two decades, and then leaving with nothing to show for it?
ps- America has committed war crimes on a daily basis for years now. No one cares about war crimes, apparently.
pps- Did you see that Ghost of Kiev video? And that WMD video? I’ll send you a video of those if you want to see them. Super serious stuff. And real, that’s for sure. LOL
