looking for info on the whole russia-ukraine thing
so what.... exactly was putin/russia expecting to get out of this whole thing anyway? it seems like all they've managed to do so far is make an enemy of basically the entire world and i don't see how they could have expected it to turn out differently

@fox_news the only thing i can think is that he must have thought he had nothing to lose since iwrc he announced he'd be retiring last year?

@fox_news that's kinda what we were wanting to know, but yeah i guess you can't really say

re: looking for info on the whole russia-ukraine thing
@fox_news i just wonder what on earth is going to happen to russia after this
like, ukraine is of course the one to worry about and send aid and stuff but
i can't help but wonder what this is going to do to the upper echelons of russia's political stage
obviously in a just world everyone even remotely involved gets sacked and barred from holding any position with more power than mcdonalds shift manager ever again, but this isn't a just world
i'm pretty confident that at least the most closely involved people are going to get the boot, though. and hopefully the whole thing will result in the long term in marginally better people in charge over there
i just hope we make it to that without too many more lives lost
