A small flaw in that plan is that they didn't plan on Russia actually getting stronger after the war. At this point, I don't think the west will get to occupy any portion of Ukraine when the dust settles.
Well the alternative plan is to shell and flood Ukraine with uranium artillery and ammunition. That way the ruzzyianz can’t utilize the occupied Ukrainian land. Epic own really
When the west started quickly sending depleted uranium and cluster munitions, it should've been crystal clear to everybody that the west didn't give a shit about Ukraine. The fact that Russia chose to do attrition across a relatively fixed line will mitigate the damage from that though.
The land in Ukraine aren’t meant to be held physically. They are just vehicles to launder money around and suck in the money from naive investors.
In other words, it’s a scheme where the plan was always to run away with the money and never intended to actually hand over the land to you. It’s great to do so in a war-torn country where laws could no longer be enforced, the perfect place for shady businesses to happen.
This is also why the Republicans are so desperate to stop the war in Ukraine, because the Democrats are absolutely running wild with the money laundering there with dozens of billions spent in Ukraine over the past two years.
Blackrock's gonna be pissed when they realize that all that land Ukraine sold them is now Russian.
