Imagine wasting your countries stockpile on a proxy war that only ends up costing your country even more money... when your people can't even afford it. That's how dumb the west is.
@sim > print billions
> give it to military industrial complex
> give the Ukrainians old weapons in return for them owing you the printed billions
> you now own the breadbasket of Europe
> Europe teeters into an energy and food crisis
> they can only buy from you
looks like they know what's up tbh
@skells Is the UK doing this?
@sim nah we're fucked but the US deep state is doing ok
@skells I was referring to the UK giving away stockpile while the people are fucked there.
@skells Nothing, I guess. It's not new that they would do this and throw their weight around despite not being an empire now.
@sim we are an empire in spirit
@skells It's like we never left the empire... we're stuck in that global mindset.
