Reply to Ukrainian missile hits Belarus as Putin ally moves to war footing: Report by HalfLeper

I'm afraid this absurd war will expand.

Slava Oukraïni.

Edit: I believe Ukranians are currently fighting with their very blood for our democratic western way of life. The axes are clear Russia/China/North Korea/Iran vs NATO+. India, for example, are opportunistically betting on Russia because they want cheap oil - bad short term bet. If Ukraine fall, the aligned nations fall - so it can 't happen from the western point of view.

My bet? Russian will fall. For the next 50 years or so, they will try to reconstruct from an outdated ideology. In the meantime, energy crisis will bring us all back to a decreasing GDP world where war won't be affordable anymore, except in terms of human life.
