    Ukraine is turning into another North Korean under Zelensky. Ukraine used be be known for food, cement, iron rods and other industrial equipment. But it seems all is now gone except weapons with the death and destruction that lay in their path.

    Wow, is this really what Russians were made to believe?

        Russia easily should have. Ukraine was home to a significant portion of USSR equipment production. Including things like aircraft carriers that Russia can now barely even keep running.

          Probably a big part of why Russia wants to take it in the first place.

            Ukraine was always the brains of the ussr, most of their best tech was designed there.

      It is what the Russians turned them into. I’d prefer Ukraine was known for food, cement, iron rod, and other industrial equipment -all things that would improve my life. Instead they were attacked thus forcing them to become things that are not nearly as useful to me (or so I hope…)

      Russians also believed Ukraine attacked Russia and that’s why this war started. That turned out to be a self fulfilling prophecy.

      Maybe that “death and destruction that lay in their path” is also a prophecy as they get closer to Moscow.
