"Russia is standing for nothing."
Russia, which is currently fighting the largest conventional land war in Europe since 1945, against a military supplied by more than fifty countries, funded by hundreds of billions in Western money, armed with the most sophisticated weapons NATO could transfer without triggering a formal Article 5 declaration.
Russia, which has absorbed more than twenty-three thousand targeted sanctions, from energy to aircraft parts to individual bank accounts, SWIFT exclusion, the most comprehensive economic warfare ever waged against a major power in history, and has not capitulated, has not sued for the "peace" that Washington keeps waiting for.
Russia, which had three hundred billion dollars in foreign reserves frozen by Western governments in an act of financial piracy so naked that even some Western economists called it a dangerous precedent.
And it is still there. Still fighting. Still refusing the terms.
Calling a country standing firm against the full military and economic force of the Western alliance, absorbing costs that would have collapsed most states, "cowardly" and "standing for nothing"...
That is a sentence that requires you to ignore the war that is actively happening.
Spain recognized Palestine from inside NATO, with American bases on its soil, with full access to Western financial markets, at essentially zero cost to its material position.
Those are not equivalent forms of courage.
@basilaev_oloxoy Я в недоумении как люди могут не понимать. Что в случае разделения России, мир получит 10+ очень молодых и не опытных ядерных государств.
