Did Finland miss out from not being a part of NATO? How about Austria, or France
back in the day? No? Then, outside of political gambits, what is it that makes Ukraine
being in NATO worth the deaths of so many Ukrainians?

The deaths of Russians can be explained, quite easily: NATO in Ukraine means the
end of Russia’s place in the world. The US killed many of its own to not lose an
inch of its world domination. Russia is doing the same. But why does Ukraine do 
it? Why did Zelenskyy choose this path and sent its people in a completely skewed
conflict?

> Ukrainians die for political ambitions, US expansionism and Russia’s inability
> to catch up with the rest of the world, not for “independence”.

The false hero Zelenskyy had so many years to figure out a better option rather 
than willingly sacrificing its people like this. What is “independence” anyway? 
Is my country, Romania, independent? There is not one single sovereign decision 
being taken! Budgets, laws, welfare, you name it! And I do not mean it in a bad 
way, it’s probably for the better.

Independence for small countries means “western” ambasadors publicly interfere even
in the most basic internal affairs of the country. The country is just a label to
a piece of land, and it bacomes that at an accelerated rate once NATO (cough U.S.)
troops arrive. And I am not sad about it! I am far from being a patriot. I just 
can’t stand the bullshit! I can’t stand people sent to a losing war for a future
sham.

> “Independece” is just as last century of a concept as Russia’s “sphere of influence”.

Ukraine will too end up a deserted land of mafia, just like Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia,
with bought politicians, western ambassadors being openly involved and decisive 
in the “independent” country’s decision making, democracy being a sham, choosing
between who has “permission” from US or EU to run. Why deserted? Because the EU 
is an endless vacuum of well paid jobs, good infrastructure, more liberal and generally
more fun. It will be decades before the mass exodus of the people will stop. Funny
enough, but those Ukrainians who actually like Ukraine will likely leave first.

Any country in the EU that has any sovereignty left is either on the right, nationalistic
and protectionist: Poland, France, Hungary etc. The others are filthy rich and buy
all the decisions. Where will Ukraine fit? How did Zelenskyy help Ukraine with his
boneheaded decisions? Even if Russia loses the war, please stop with this hero leader
bullshit. 

It is impossible for societies to catch up in current people’s lifetimes. Maybe,
maybe!, future generations, but I cannot imagine the French or the Germans to _want_
true competition, so despite the great E.U. systems in place, a true competitive
economy with a great national definition can only be the exception, not the rule.

> Ukraine in NATO means the end of Russia’s place in the world.

Literally, not Putin’s Russia, Russians Russia. Russia is not like other countries.
Without political clout and menacing force the federation will fail. With it the
natural resources will be gone. With them the money will disappear. With the money
gone, Russia will be a memory of a country once existing. The U.S. federal state
is challenged by a mere demagogue like Trump, can you imagine what happens to the
Russian federation with U.S. controlled puppets running the show?

Oh, but Putin is the invader. This is moot. Of course he is. Of course Russia has
to pay a hefty price for this move. Of course the price, we hope, will push Russia
a bit out of the autocratic system, maybe. But I suspect if Putin dies, Russia will
still not be a democracy but an autocracy friendly to US corporate interests. 

Let’s face it, the only independent countries are those who matter in terms of geo-
strategic influence, or economic powerhouses. Economic powerhouses though are so
dependent on the dollar that they matter less and less. Ukraine does not matter 
once it picks a side.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a hero. He is an item of oppression used by those who
find themselves on the right side of history at this time of history.
