Not when it is a well funded proxy war willing to send all the young men of Ukraine to die for a chance exploit that land. This is true.
As far as who is exploiting who in the "pipsqueak country doing a fine job demonstrating that the bully on the block is an incompetent war fighter", would seem proxy wise that the west is profitting immensely from watching a new style develop, and how easy a time NATO would have pushing Russian troops back to Moscow if it weren't for the nukes involved.
Which could lead to WWIII. BUt aren't anywhere close yet. And don't look to be getting closer. Obviously I am ignoring the children's squabble in the Middle East.

Why in the WORLD would you assign credibility to an orange halfwit?
Quote from: K-DogTrump says he wants access to Ukraine's bonanza of rare earth and critical minerals in exchange for the billions of dollars in military aid Washington has been supplying to Kyiv.Trump says he is slapping tariffs on all the countries. Lasts a day or two. Trump says he didn't inflate the values of his properties to commit fraud. Trump says he is a genius...and only weighs 220#. Trump says he doesn't cheat at golf.
Yes....sounds like we should pay attention to his honesty and everything he says.
Quote from: K-DogAnd you have not been keeping up with the news. Russia prevails.
Not yet. But even if, after more than the 3 years of war where they have been doing a piss poor job, they suddenly get some traction while killing off a couple more hundred thousand young men, they have taught NATO everything they need to know. They don't have to worry about any Russian land war from the gang that can't shoot straight. Or manuveur. Can't achieve air superiority. Doesn't have much in the way of tanks left to fight with. Fights stupid. Fights with theory of "maybe if we shove our male 18-22 entire population of the country into a meatgrinder....the meatgrinder will break!
Yes...Russia prevails. The same Russians that kill Americans supporting them because they didn't know he was one of their cheerleaders. Oops. So smart they kill their own propaganists. Genius! Russia prevails!
