    Interesting that Arestovich thinks he will not be extradited, as he is living in the US. Sure, USA has some pull and sure, Ukraine is a bit busy at the moment, but he will get extradited, you can trust the USA as far as you can throw it

      He’s an opportunist through and through, i’m sure he’s hedged all his bets. Also there is a good chance he is still an asset of a certain faction in the US deep state. Not the one that controls Zelensky and is still all-in on continuing the war, but a rival faction that sees the bigger picture and is worried about the damage this quagmire is doing to the empire.

        I am just wondering what’s the point of this war even. Trump Republicans don’t want this war but certainly all dems are into it. Russia seems have no interest to move or they are just happy with the pace of war 🤣

          The point, now that Plan A - degrading or defeating Russia - has failed, is Plan B - degrade and subjugate Europe. In this respect it is safe to say they are succeeding at the moment. Germany is rapidly deindustrializing, entering into a deep recession while at the same time becoming more and more dependent on and controlled by the US. And as Germany goes so does the EU. The US needs this new colonial subordination of Europe to make up for its empire receding everywhere else in the world. It gets to stave off its own decline by cannibalizing the industry and economic base of Europe.

            Man, this decade will bring the worst of us. Nazis in Europe and Hindutvavadi in India. Find me another planet

              The murder-curious, sickly, apocalypse obsessed American fascists when finally let off their chain to play will be the worst of them all.
