We all feel for you. Must suck to start a war and then lose it.

Ooc, Why do you think Russia invaded?

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Easy: they think they are a superpower and that they can use their military to keep independent, neighbouring countries aligned with them politically in order to protect their geopolitical interests. They are not and they can't.

And when you day "aligned geopoliticaly" what's that exactly?

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 1 points 1 year ago

It means that government in a given country will side with Russia on international scene in order to protect their interests. Isn't that obvious? Like Hungary is politically aligned with Russia but Germany isn't.
