The West's Patience Is Running Shorter Than Ukraine's War

made supporting overt nazis socially acceptable?
added a fun element of danger to walking in the countryside for the next few decades at least?
good work for scrap metal dealers?
significantly fewer people to govern?
less territory to defend?

Rather than risk a protracted war with the added danger of waning Western support, Ukraine needs to lock in what it has already achieved. It has exposed the limits of Russian military power. It has established credible claims to EU and North Atlantic Treaty Organization membership. It has transformed its international image from a den of corruption to a land of heroes.

They will be able to purchase all of Ukraine once the war is over, so it's not a bad economic outlook at all for the US bourgeoisie lol

Permanently Deleted

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the past year is how well the economy has held up under the strain of war and occupation, even allowing for the fact that around 70% of the Ukrainian budget is covered by international assistance. Inflation has been kept under control, falling from 27% in December to 11% last month. GDP will grow slightly next year by 1%-2%.

Yes, shooting a dying geriatric with steroids to make them stand up is not a bad outlook

It's ripe for some good old neoliberal shock therapy and mass privatization.
