        Eh even the funding is a pittance. They are deluded that they are going up against the West one way or another and they’re not.

          a pittance

          I’m sorry what. The West has given hundreds of billions. Not to mention that Europe has paid enormously in high energy costs alone as a result of the sanctions, including through developing a new energy dependence on the US which has resulted in concessions to Trump.

          Sure that’s not been enough but framing it as a pittance is just inusltung. Ukraine would have had a Russian government a long time ago without it.

            A pittance relative to the economy that Russia would be going against in a real war with the West. C’mon. I’ll say it again: They are deluded that they are going up against the West one way or another and they’re not.

              It’s why they want to split EU in a bunch of fighting parties with propaganda campaigns, dumping immigrants at the border and the like before attacking.
