    It was the bloodiest and most pointless mass immolation of life and livelihood since Iraq

    That’s crazy, how was this more pointless than Libya, Donbas, Afghanistan, Armenia, or Palestine? More bloody sure, but Russia’s reasons for entering are justifiable for national security

    Don’t tell me that Russia thought getting sanctioned by the rest of the entire world and entering a proxy war in a massive country was somehow expected to be a net economic gain like everything the West has done since Iraq

      Strictly by volume. I don’t believe any of those reached the scale of the Russia Ukraine war in the comparatively brief time period.
