While true - geopolitics doesnt work like that.

All countries are actively fucking with everyone

There’s a pretty crazy book that claims to be a compilation of soviet intelligence maps from the cold war. I bought the one for my area and its pretty nuts how accurate and detailed it is. Also helped me learn the Cyrillic alphabet a little bit because all of the locations are written phonetically how the locals would say it.

Tldr: Dont sleep on Russian intelligence gathering.

They've done this in Sweden to in the 80's. Walked around from house to house to military personnel and mapped them all, including military facilities and strategic locations... All while claiming to be door to door Cat painting salesmen or something silly like that

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 56%. (I'm a bot)

> Russia is "Covertly mapping" critical infrastructure in the North Sea, including gas pipelines and wind farms, in preparation for potential acts of sabotage, according to a report by Dutch intelligence agencies.

> The joint report by the Dutch intelligence services AIVD and MIVD warns that "Vital marine infrastructure" could be vulnerable to sabotage and that Russia is undertaking "Activities that indicate espionage and acts to prepare for disruption and sabotage."

> On Wednesday, NATO announced the creation of a new "Critical undersea infrastructure coordination cell" at its Brussels headquarters to ensure militaries and civilian infrastructure operators can work more closely to protect vital infrastructure.

Nato is completely passive vs any nation with lots of nukes

Obviously nukes are a big ass deal but NATO would not be passive after any attack on its territory.

Have we defeated Russia yet?

We havent touched an inch of their soil

But we are quick to fucking bomb the shit out of countries that cant defend themselves

My point is we wouldnt have invaded Iraq if Iraq had 1000 nukes

We wouldn't have bombed Serbia if they had lots of nukes

We love to play the bully against weaklings

But anyone who can actually hit back, we won't touch

Example - China - active genocide against Uyghurs, the world does nothing because nukes

Russia is openly invading Ukraine, the world does nothing to disable bases in Russia, because nukes

My point is - if you want to make sure the world won't do anything, put everything you have into buying/developing Nukes.

Needless to say we (US) and Russia fucked over Ukraine when we convinced them to give up their nukes

If Ukraine still had nukes today, there wouldnt be an invasion

Russia has been ground to a dead stop by NATO surplus stores and the most bottom of the barrel European economy.

And yet they are still in Ukraine after a year with Ukraines infrastructure decimated.

Meanwhile our military contractors are dancing their way to the bank.

If there was a swift victory we would lose out billions in sales of weapons/vehicles/etc...

Want the truth about anything in the world? Follow the money

Its ground to a halt because this is what is benefing our military sales

Russia's decayed and corrupt energy system is in no shape for a tit-for-tat confrontation.

Russia blew up the Nord Stream pipeline.

FTFY.

Pull your head out and quit watching Russian state media. If you're on Reddit, you have no excuse.

Besides, you'll be receiving your mobilization papers soon, the RuZZian dictator didn't exclude his troll farms from mobilization. I'm sure you'll make some very pretty sunflowers in Ukraine. :)
