And for what? Is this at all good for humanity? For the Russian people? Fuck war, fuck Putin.
To distract people from the reality that the ruling class is ramping up their efforts to gain authoritarian control in a significantly large number of countries lately.
Stealing one of the largest countries in Europe seems like a good trade for half a million peasants they obviously don't give a shit about.
If they'd actually stolen it, sure. But half a million in and they're still nowhere near achieving that.
At what point do they stop throwing good bodies after bad?
And even if they achieve that they are looking at occupying a country whose people hate them and will do everything to sabotage them.
I mean it is still technically up several million people overall. But then again, over a million people left the country...
Are you implying that just because the population went up it's not a tragedy that over half a million people have died for no good reason?
Not in the least. The person asked "for what?" About the only positive I could see from a Russian government perspective is an increased population.
