@xxhunter30xx@ItsTheEnforcer Bruv, it’s been nearly 4 years, billions/trillions in monetary loss and over a million dead and wounded. He hasn’t yet and probably doesn’t have the capacity to now. Especially since his army cannot even protect the industry essential to perpetuating the war.
@JDunlap1974 They built their businesses within the system afforded by a strong government. Legal protections, grants, subsidies, infrastructure. Workers are educated. It’s only fair that tax is paid to maintain the systems which have allowed business to succeed.
@VladVexler You are giving Putin too much credit. Putin isn’t thinking that far ahead at this point. Putin accepting any kind of peace less than his maximalist goals depends on whether he thinks his regime will survive the reaction from the masses and radical nationalists in Russia.
