Winning Wars on the Table
Filed under: 
HE very simple fact is, nobody “wins” wars. Some sides lose less, but everyone loses. In the Second World War, Russia lost by far the most people (Soviets likely suffered the most from the war).
At the moment a lot of people are dying,
Let’s hope that the conflict (war, invasion) will be resolved and end soon. This is the only outcome people ought to aim for. Anything else is dangerous and potentially suicidal.
Suffice to say, oligarchs who don’t participate in (as in join) the army and don’t send their kids there (some of them even profit from weapon sales and/or lending) don’t mind prolonging wars. It doesn’t affect them much. Their stake in the outcome is different from the general population’s (food security isn’t an issue for them). Yes, they also own a lot of the important media, so turn off the TV.
