I wouldn't trust a poll done in Russia if I were you. That's like a less extreme form of asking North Koreans if they like the Kim dynasty.

I'm more troubled by the thought it's irrational even if you are comically evil, like some Mister Rouble or General Bloodthirst. And even if peace could've happened tomorrow on any terms, there's an overwhelming critical mass that doesn't even touch reality and would do that shit all over again if opportunity is present. One hallucinating 100mil people powder keg. And that is it's course for a decade at best if not more. Besides my own interests of not having this around, I feel many in Europe should know it's not a single occurence, it's a trend that won't magically end with the end of reasons or a feast of sacrifices some suggest to calm the beast. It's suicidal in it's hunger. All these nice theories grounded in logic felt from the window a long time ago.

Assuming 70% russians are imperialists includes grandmothers who haven't conquered nothing more than a kitchen in Murmansk in their whole life.

Historically speaking, those are some of the most ardent imperialists, because they risk nothing in advocating for it.

Word. There're endless memes about the least respected and put through mud women who happen to be the most avid voters for Vova. Stockholm syndrome is named after the wrong city.

All things considered, 30% is pretty high.

Yeah, because just letting Russia have what it wanted worked out really well the first two times. I'm sure that of Ukraine just rolls over That the Russians won't be back in two or so years.

And I am sure China won't see this as a precedent to invade Taiwan. You just gotta deal with a few sanctions and you are all good. That's probably worth it, if you can take over TSMC.

sunk cost blood fallacy

pubquiz ,

"Territories Occupied"??? Territories invaded, subjugated and strip mined, OK, but "occupied"? Instantly turns into clickbait, by pro-Russian trolls. Occupied. Like I could build a fence across my neighbour's land and occupy it...

PugJesus OP ,

It's a commonly accepted term in English-language Ukrainian publications, unless your accusation is that the Kyiv Post is run by pro-Russian trolls.

The way to look at the word is that you cannot occupy what is yours in this context. While you do technically occupy your home it would be very strange that you’re in “Pubquiz occupied Pubquiz territory”.

A russian poll. Even better.

Russian Pollster: You agree with the poll, yes?

Russian: Mmm.
