Russia Invades ukraine

[Stubby]

Putin now saying he will give missiles to  "enemies " of the west as the west is arming Ukraine . This is a good thing coz I don't think those " enemies " of the west will use them against the west and it will leave him ( Putin ) less to fire at Ukraine .

Maxim sold machine guns to both sides during a few conflicts including the 1st world war.

 

IBM didn't do too badly from what I remember keeping track of numbers on the trains.

 

And I'm not a cheese eating surrender monkey, but most wars are about territory. WW2 probably being the exception to the rule 

What was WW2 about, if not territory?

It was quite literally about territory, living space, lebensraum; and Japan's empire building on the other side of the planet.

Whilst they took lots of territory, it wasn't exactly a secret they planned to invade the UK and you know that whole final solution thing wasn't exactly palatable.

Maybe your education in a neutral country forgot about that, what about the Bosnia ?

A different way to view the conflict.

 

Consider this..  Russia is advancing and taking more Ukrainian territory.

The West:  We need to send more arms to Ukraine and spend more money on the Military War Machine.

 

Ukrainian forces are almost at the point of defeating the Russians. 

The West:  We need to send more arms to Ukraine and spend more money on the Military War Machine to finally finish off the Russian advance.

 

All scenarios lead to tax dollars being spent from the Ukrainian supporting countries.  The Military war machine gets richer.

So it was about territory then? They took lots of territory and they wanted to invade and conquer Britain which is…..checks notes…territory as well.
