The return isn't in the weapons, it was in getting Ukrainians to sacrifice their lives for our goals. It took a mighty big bribe indeed, but that is understandable. And now they're doing it, we don't have to bribe them anymore.

What goals are those? I'm genuinely curious.

The Ukranian war ties up Russia's military and resources. They're bogged down, fighting for a territory they thought they'd reclaim in a month. If things had gone to plan for the Russians, they'd probably be further trying to rebuild the Soviet Union and becoming a world player again.

Nah, Putin is only interested in protecting Russia and increasing its wealth through commercial cooperation with the BRICS countries.
