You don’t think this war was about resources? You don’t think the western expansion towards Russia is about exploiting “economic opportunities” for the likes of blackwater?

Or that the Russian defence of its sphere of influence is about defending these same material resources?

Dismissal of material analysis of the war betrays a lack of understanding of the nature of the war.

For the sake of lithium deposits

I don’t give a shit about donwvotes but my comment wasn’t in bad faith.

Edit: And I’m not a liberal

Absolutely tragic situation. All those fathers, brothers, sons being blown apart, mutilated, killed, scarred, tormented, brutalised. Horrific.

And for what? So that blackwater or some fucking Russian billionaire can compete for control of mineral deposits that have been buried in the ground for millions of years and belong to precisely no one.

Fuck this war

Brilliant news, can’t wait to yet again get poorer somehow despite doing literally nothing wrong. I love capitalism
