The greatest of all stupidities in supporting demonic war against Russia is the intent to not only lose it, but make Russia more powerful.

The response is “naturally forcing” massive militarization increases of the west to “catch up”, because rulers always love excuses for more and bigger wars, and the gullibility for demonism is never ceasing.

In March, the EU allocated 500 million euros ($544 million) to bolster the EU’s ammunition production capacity to 2 million shells per year by the end of 2025.

Assuming the Empire’s wet dream of a 10 year war until the last Ukrainian, that is a $50/shell capital cost above the $3000-$5000 unit cost of “dumb shells” (US has a $100k GPS guided shell as well).

Russia is producing artillery shells around three times faster than Ukraine’s Western allies and for about a quarter of the cost, according to an analysis shared with Sky News.

When you tolerate CIA/NAFO troll/bots telling you how awesome this war is, you are collapsing your empire/nation. Don’t expect the banksters and oil/weapons oligarchs to be the ones sacrificed.

      Peace with Russia. Very natural/reasonable red lines were set to avoid this war, and cutting losses at current liberated territories is better than waiting for them to take Odessa, although under peace, that city is likely to choose to join Russia rather than a stay under nazi regime if democracy is restored in Ukraine.

      If EU has any ideals other than CIA subservience, their demands can include sharp reduction in Russian military production, and significant climate investment efforts. A Siberian forest fire suppression investment as one basic effort. Research into turning liquid/gas FFs into Hydrogen underground is something Russia could lead on as well. Oil oligarchs will always subjugate you to war as an escape from climate action. Peace is only option to get world/Russia to commit to human sustainability.

          No one can care about the climate if you want to have war more than human sustainability. Priorities get ranked. Those at the bottom get sacrificed for those at the top.
