That sounds a lot like what the Germans wanted to do with Eastern European land

It’s good for Russians not everyone else that’s what I’ve been saying

their GDP going up has nothing to do with their citizens’ lives improving because once again, any growth in the state is diverted to Putin and his lackeys.

GDP per capita still going up

well it’s not a good thing either way in reality. Russia isn’t running out of room and trying to force russians and ukrainians to submit to russian ownership of the ukraine is an imperialist and ethnically derogatory stance to take

GDP per capita doesn’t matter if the average citizen isn’t seeing their capital return to them. This is a major factor in why simply displaying GDP per capita is not an accurate means of measuring economic prosperity

Well idk man it states that Standard of living has gone up so either way

It’s not good for everyone else how many times do I have to say this s***

Why do you like that others suffer, are you a sociopath?

I never said it was a good thing and I don’t approve of it

then why do it

yes bro because the standard of living was a near-literal stateless capitalist wasteland for the 90’s

Because Putin wants Russia to eat

If you don’t see the rationale of anyone invading a country you haven’t read a history book

no he doesn’t, if he did economic inequality wouldn’t be low and democratic processes would actually succeed

Why do you celebrate and say he is the best mind in political history

You can say one of the most twisted minds, clever minds, etc but saying best means you approve of his actions.

Democracy in 2021

Best ≠ good but I can change if if you want!

Wild

we don’t exist in the middle ages anymore. This idea that you must secure “living space” and “extend your control” over the world is totally pointless, archaic, and neanderthallian in its entirety. We are at a point in history where it is literally the most obvious thing in the world that cooperation, egalitarianism, and peace is the way to go

Lol

Good > better > best

You’re so naive

Do you think separationist tribal mentality is better than living alongside one another in harmony?

Living with each other in harmony will never happen so keep trying

what a stupid, air headed way to draw an idea that an obsolete and selfish political strategy that originated in 1500’s Italy (One of the most chaotic political scenes in Europe) could somehow be a more mature and nuanced than a stance that could actually develop and improve the world as a whole. You should be ashamed of yourself for thinking that only you should (or will) care for yourself in a world where everyone’s pain at the hands of those like the ones you admire is open to see
