Dear Kremlin,
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I know it's an old video, but this video from several years ago exposed how weak Russia truly is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW4I2fPPXFM
It's absolutely baffling that Putin decided to invade Ukraine considering this context, unless his population was imploding at a dangerous rate and he needed more citizens.
... this seems like a sane person
All that video about how good Russia is at posturing at America and you're baffled at Russia.. using that to its advantage? They were obviously counting on nato being reluctant to aid Ukraine for the fear of a larger conflict and it was working until that changed couple months ago. And I don't think I need to explain why a war would make a population problem worse..
Edit: sorry if this sounds too aggressive, I won an imaginary debate before coming across this post
There are a ton of basic errors in this video. It's very amateurish. For example he say alcoholism killed 1/3 of the population not 1/3 deaths are du to alcoholism.
