here is a mind fuck.  r u ready? -how did america become the global power that it is today? never ending conflict and war.  -through war & conflict, they were able to control everything, get all the funding they needed, and wage all the "special military operations" it could muster, or the public would let them stomach.  -russia has no need to end the war.  their economy truthfully has never been better.  there is almost zero unemployment.  people are vacationing in russia keeping the money in russia.  while the value of the rubble devalues, people are going to buy more local russian goods, keeping their economy churning, and factories producing.  -russia just got all of the western wealth left there. from buildings to business just handed to them.  if they stopped the war, they would have to give it all back.  the longer this war goes on, the more time they have to rebuild from not needing anyone in the west.  -aircraft: since the sanctions, russia has been into turbo overdrive in their aeronautical sector.  old industries that were defunct are all coming back with a vengeance.  if russia stops the war? all of these gains may be lost.  so if this keeps going on, they also show the world that russia is no longer to be fucked with on a world stage. they also get to inherit the legit title of bass ass just like america is stated to be.  russia has no need to end the war.  plenty of people willing to die for extreme pay, just to come to live in russia from all the legit commie states like china, north korea etc.
