Russian special military operation in Ukraine #10

One woman wrote in the comments under one of Shariy's videos that her son is from Odessa, who was always for the Russian world, but is now mobilized into the army and stationed in the city. And? So what now? If Russia is killing its own adherants, due to its own mistakes that has allowed the regime to consolidate and then mobilize them?

And what reason do the Ukrainians have to love us, exactly, even if Russia forces a surrender of the Ukraine tommorow? Yes they suffered mostly military casualties, but a lot of them - and these are all someone's sons, fathers, brothers, uncles, nephews. +30k dead now, and I don't even know how many wounded. A mass humanitarian crisis due to the absence of fuel, that will lead to a failure to plant the spring harvest. The economy ground to a stop. Millions of refugees. Everyone's plans for life ruined.

And then when Putin did strike, it turned out that he was unprepared, and it all turned into a nightmare.

Yuri states that Russia has prepared well for the economic war with the West in the past few years, and that he thinks that this is not the case with the EU and the USA.
Juri states that Europe will face a drop in production and an increase in inflation due to the impossibility of accessing the raw materials they imported from Russia.
Also, Juri predicts that there will be a drop in personal income in Europe, while the cost of living will increase. The worst thing that could happen would be the possibility of hyperinflation in the EU, because that would lead to regime change in many EU countries.

I think this man connects things well.

It has no unresolved territorial conflicts with Russia. Maybe they can dig up the pre-39 borders but I doubt it.

What's at stake in the Ukraine is US hegemony and the very existence of NATO.

You don't get how dangerous it is for the world.

Finland is at artillery range of the bases where they have half of their SSBN and something like 40% of their sytategical nuclear missiles.

US could use nuclear shells from 152 and 203mm guns for a first strike.

It's way more dangerous than tomahawks in Ukraine or cuban missile crisis.

This could lead to a first nuclear strike on Finland and nato HQ to deter this happening.
