Russia versus YouCrane
It makes no sense other then weapon sales, weakening Europe, same as that other democrat Clinton did.

Russia seems to think it makes sense. It's been working on nibbling off
bits of the Ukraine for years - starting with the Crimean peninsula in
2014. Zelensky wasn't in power back then. He didn't get elected until 2019.

This didn't generate much in the way of weapons sales. The Russian
invasion of the Ukraine in 2022 did generate quite a lot of weapons
sales, but that was a purely Russian initiative.

 Nope, After ByeThen met Putin and asked him what would be un-acceptable to him
ByeThen did exactly that and that way triggered that war, 'lensky is just a CIA agent
like many others all over the world making unrest so YouAsh can sell more weapons.
With Trump as the new King of States maybe he gets that deep state working for the common people
not having to pay taxes for a few ruthless weapon manufacturers and their sales men killing
millions all over the world and in their own country, even kids in schools shooting each other with automatic weapons.
Better fix the infrastructure, again thousands without power, now in the west.
   

If you have a problem getting loose a big nut, use BIG pliers!
The nut in this case is Zelensky and sending toy drones is like destroying one precious tweezers after the other to get it
lose.

Zelensky didn't start the war, and his crime - in your eyes - lies in
his not having surrendered to the Russians in 2022 as they clearly
expected him to.

Get the biggest pliers you have and that is nukes for Russia, nuke Kiev and be done with it
Bad? And what did the US do in WW2 with the Japanese civilians?

The Japanese did start that war - by the surprise attack on the American
fleet at Pearl Harbour. It four years of very skilled and expensive work
to get the Americans big enough pliers to discourage in the nuts in Tokyo.

Dropping hydrogen bombs on Kyiv might win the war against the Ukraine
for the Russians, but the international reaction would probably drop a
lot of hydrogen bombs on Moscow and every place where Russia has stocks
of nuclear weapons. If Putin got that ambitious there's no telling where
he would go next, and premptive destruction would probably minimise
Western casualties in the long term  - they'd probably still be huge,
but a premptive strike would probably destroy enough Russian nuclear
weapons to save some lives in the long run.

 China, Russia, N Korea, Pakistan, India, many more have nukes, and would not just standby and look.

Do pay attention - I was talking about the international reaction to Russia having had a psychotic breakdown in it's leadership.
Any country deciding to purge them of the psychotic leaders and as many of the nuclear weapons that any survivor might launch could rely on support from non-psychotic leaders

Blowing up the gas pipes from Russia to Europe is equivalent to starting a war.

It didn't start any war. The Russians had already invaded Ukraine when it happened.

Nuking the US into oblivion is a given if it does not change ways.

Russia and China are both behaving badly too - Russia has physically invaded Ukraine, which worse than anything the US has done.

Trump, if he does not get shot by democrats, may be the US's last chance.

Last chance to degenerate into a totally third world country?
Probably not. There are lots of US politicians who are psychotic enough to embrace that as an ambition.
Trump hasn't yet had people he doesn't like murdered overseas with the US equivalent of novichok, but he seems sympathetic to Putin, who has.
