US investors don't want to own property in an empoverished Russian puppet country. They want to own property in a wealthy, thriving Western puppet county. So yes, it's because our proxy is winning.

Winning so hard that their big armored counteroffensive culminated with them losing ground lmao

Vulture capitalists want to buy assets for liquidation at rock bottom prices. This was part of the western impetus for starting the hostilities in the first place. They were hoping to draw the Russian Federation into an endless quagmire to juice war industry profits and hopefully collapse the RF government to get another nice lucrative round of shock therapy. Since the economic warfare effort backfired, the US has been contenting itself with absorbing the western european energy market while stripping Ukraine for assets.

Whoa whoa whoa back up. I want to hear what kind of ridiculous mental gymnastics makes YOU invading a sovereign nation somehow OUR fault. This should be good for laughs.

Based on some of your other comments you come off as completely oblivious to the geopolitical history of the region.

YOU invading a sovereign nation

I'm almost certain the person you replied to is not on the front line on behalf of the RF, and I'm even more certain they had no say in the decision to invade.

So? He wants to defend it, I wanna hear him defend it.

Nothing about your snarky replies indicate a willingness to actually learn or participate in discussion.

[–] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well for one, I wasn't talking to you

[–] 133arc585@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How insufferable. Why are you here?

[–] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago
  • Ukraine, to Russia, shortly before kicking their asses

I'd rather hear you defend eight years of shelling and death squads in the Donbas🤔

You invaded. Invaders tend to become fertilizer. Especially in Ukraine.

Nobody's gonna be fertilizing shit with all the depleted uranium you guys have been firing into your own fields and forests. My genuine advice is to move somewhere else soon if you ever want kids.
