    Good joke, but I do feel kind of bad for them.

    A lot of innocent people are going to suffer because oligarchs wanted more land to exploit.

      There’s also the risk of nuclear weapons going missing. Smaller devices would be easy to remove in the chaos, so I can only hope they are non-functional due to age and/or key parts being stored separately. I really do hope that the people guarding nuclear facilities are a damned sight more competent and motivated than the average conscript if civil war erupts.

      It’s true, but let’s be honest.

      An inside conflict would probably result in a less catastrophic, more democratic resolution to this problem.

      Let’s just hope that if it DOES happen, Putin’s army & supplies are cut short quickly so nobody (or the least amount) get hurt.
