  The alternative is to simply invest in Ukraine. 
  Every war is an infection. And every war is eventually a war of economic attrition. 
  To treat both you simply invest as close to the point of infection as possible.  
  Every dollar invested in Ukraine is like a bullet fired 3 times. Ukraine is making their own barayktars, and overhauling Russian tanks. 
  They are one of the smartest, most creative and industrious fighting forces in world history.  
  Just give them the investment to bolster their economy, producer their own machinery and stabilize their currency all at the same time. 
  They can do it and Russia can’t because Russia only knows corruption and corruption breeds economic attrition. 
  Hell the same entire Russian fuel and maintenance budget turned into an oligarchs yacht. 
  Just because we have done war the same way for 5000 years doesn’t mean we can’t change it up. 
  Invest in humanity. It really is that simple
context: Toward the end of World War II on March 19, 1945, Adolf Hitler issued his infamous “Nero Decree,” which called for the systematic destruction of Germany. The order was largely thwarted by Hitler's armaments minister, Albert Speer.
  Putin is dragging Russia to a point that eventually the country itself may break up further just like Yugoslavia did. >
  
  Yes, Putin go all in, he already a old man and whatever happend to russia in future is not his problem soon, maybe some of russian minority regions want to break out? >
  
  It's very hard to think of a war that didn't go on for some time. >
  
  the British-Zanzibar War >
  
  The USSR's last futile war was Afghanistan. Now it's Ukraine. Mother Russia is poised to repeat their mistake. >
  
  It fucking doesn’t have to be that long. It’s not like Ukraine is asking for that much. Just give them enough to take Crimea and the kremlin will fall shortly after. >
  
  Carthage must be destroyed. Oops. I meant Russian must be destroyed. >
  
  Genius prediction >
  
  Honest question, how long must it go on? If the conflict continues as a war of attrition how will Ukraine keep up with replenishing their troops and personnel with 1/3 the population of Russia? How many Ukrainians must die fighting over a stalemate?
  But I’m sure the revolving door of defense officials and military contractors don’t care for these questions as long as the money and weapons keep flowing >
  
  Well what's the alternative? If Ukraine stops fighting, their land and people are occupied, and we've seen endless examples of how well Russia treats people they've occupied, hell even how they treat their own people. 
  If Russia stops fighting, life goes back to normal and internationally recognised borders are restored.
