Yeah, we knew that already. Uncle has given several hundred billion
dollars to Ukraine. Might as well set the money on fire and thrown it
in Atlantic.

I don't want to just see Ukraine get back its territory.

I'd like to see the Russian Empire broken up, and simply
unable to attack the West again.

We're getting close:

The Russian economy is getting mighty shaky, with 18%
interest rates, and about 20% inflation.

Russia is rapidly running out of war machines, and can't
manufacture them at anything like the rate at which they're
being destroyed.

Similarly for manpower - he's having to bring in troops
from North Korea, and Russian meat wave tactics run through
men very, very quickly.

It looks like he can keep it up for less than a year before
things collapse.

We need to keep the pressure up.

Initially, at least, he tried to keep the Russians pliable by only
drafting other nationalities, and using North Koreans fits into that
scenario quite well.

You mean, "what the USA *needs* to do, and what Trump *will* do are

Lynn

Get the number right. Russia has under 6000 nuclear weapons, not 14,000.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_nuclear_weapons_stockpiles_and_nuclear_tests_by_country

While 6000 nukes can certainly give you a Bad Day, I point it out to
show you that you need to update your knowledge of the situation.
You're working from assumptions that are simply out of date.

According to their own published nuclear doctrine, even as recently
amended, an internal collapse of Russia would not lead to nuclear
attacks on other countries, and almost certainly not within the country
either. Putin and the other Russian leadership are venal, cruel,
corrupt, and hold the Russian masses in contempt, but they aren't
stupid or insane. They don't want to shit where they eat, and use of
nukes would enshittify everything.

Russia has twice before collapsed in the aftermath of an economically
draining war, during WW1, and the Cold War. It looks like the pattern
is repeating.

I'd like to see Russia break up, similarly to how Yugoslavia did, though
preferably without the genocidal civil war. Only then will it cease
to present a threat to the West.

This is the truth! Ideally russian will be split up into a western part,
from europe to the urals, and any nr of defanged dirka-dirka-stans, that
can do what ever they please as long as they don't have any largers guns.

I believe, once the war is won and Putin defeated, that this will happen.
Russia will have depleted its financial and military reserves, and
numerous dirka-dirka-stans will see this as a great opportunity to break
away, and making themselves rich (the leaders that is).

The west will be anxious to keep the western part, and a pro-west leader
will be installed after talks between the oligarchs and the major western
powers.

This is incorrect. We need to _increase_ the pressure now that we are
getting close to the end! I believe the war can be finished within 2-3

Well that would be for the best for the Russians and

system, the present system and the Czarist system brutalized
the peoples of the Empire.
I really doubt that homosexuals are running NATO but
if they are I believe they are well-educated and doing the
best job they can.

Russia, however, has WORKING thermonuclear bombs and delivery systems.

So does the USA, North Korea, China, Pakistan, the UK, France and likely
Israel.

As a matter of fact we in the USA alone likely have enough
nuclear weaponry to destroy civilization but that would mean the
billionaires in the USA, the Oligarchs in Russia, the Authoritarians
in China would have to forgo profits to be made.
So it is not very likely.

Yes, but can you guarantee that there are no homos in NATO? Many people are

Why would that be? Science and technology seem to work very

Also I will point out that contrary to your assertion a gay
man, Alan Turing, helped decode the Enigma machine with a very
primitive computational engine. He was later driven to suicide by
the authorities in the UK who felt much the same about homosexuals
as you do.

You insult black women who did the calculations before

I might be able to bring some clarity here, since I've studied this subject
academically. Homos are very often distracted by the chance to insert their
sexual organ in other males so due to that it is very difficult for them to
focus on science and technology. They are prisoners to their own hedonism.

We are not talking about enigma machines. This was not what was claimed above.
Also, note that that Turing was homo is propaganda by modern woke governments.
In reality he was straight as a steel rod and extremely masculine. The reason he
was killed is that he refused to play along with the homo smear campaign.

for some time now.

Putin has for some time been talking about restoring the Russian Empire of
the 19th century, and he will talk about various strategic possibilities
as if he is planning for a land invasion of the type that Napoleon tried.
In many ways he seems to work hard to emulate the czars.

So, sure, he wants Ukraine. And when he's got Ukraine he'll want Belarus
and Armenia and then the Baltic states.

Now... the big question is will he want Poland? When the Russian Revolution
happened, the Soviets let go of Poland which had previously been part of the
Russian Empire. Putin has talked extensively about what a terrible job Lenin
did in giving away parts of the empire and allowing SSRs that were part of
the Soviet union a degree of autonomy that he believes they never should have
been granted.

In the Soviet era, Poland was just one of the Warsaw Pact states which were
allied and somewhat controlled by the Soviet Union but not actually part of
the Soviet union. (This was because they wanted a barrier of allied
states in order to block a land invasion.) Putin talks about how weak this
arrangement was, and wants something stronger. The problem here is that
the Poles don't like Russia very much.

So.... yeah, this is why the war in Ukraine isn't just about Ukraine. And
yeah, it's an expensive war for Europe and the US to conduct, but not as
expensive as the alternative.
