    That’s a totally valid reason for invading another country and committing war crimes. Where can I sign up?

      Not saying it’s valid or that we should excuse it etc. Simply pointing out that the fact that the majority of Russian soldiers currently in Ukraine are volunteers doesn’t necessarily mean they’re all hyper-nationalists who love the war

      Well first you’ve gotta let neoliberals take power. Give that a couple decades to slide into fascism, then wages will plunge as corporate interests gain total control of the government. Wait a few more decades for these policies to come to bear. Only then can you take a slice of the pie of the overinflated budget of the imperial apparatus.
