While I agree it sound like something reasonable from the point of view of the imperialists, it’s not like if they also didn’t lose anything. Maybe they didn’t lose men, but sure did a hell of equipment. Plus Russia didn’t lose gear that will never come back, they increased production, too, since they now actively need it.
For sure, the proxy wariss having significant economic impact on the West right now. Long terms trends like dollarization will permanently shrink western economies going forward and reduce western influence around the globe.
Except for the time when the king/prime minister/party leader/god passes away and then the cultural thing to do is war or kill all x group of people or other removed things like that. Also if you live there and the government is not actually made up of people you trust or voted for. Tomorrow they may build a highway over your house and that’s okay because you don’t matter.
I would love to see this charted against approval numbers, though I suppose that is difficult to compare between countries. Also, note that the US is pretty middle of the road here, despite Trump’s bullshit about rigged elections. Venezuela also gets dead last.
