Isn’t this going to cost a ton of money, too much, and you can only move in so many of your own citizens. Russia can’t move too many of their own since Ukraine

Isn’t this going to cost a ton of money, too much, and you can only move in so many of your own citizens. Russia can’t move too many of their own since Ukraine doesn’t have a small population. Voters still vote. Not sure why even with puppets, a majority vote to join your country would happen.
- andy_jensen 5y agoIt will also cost a lot to get hit by 'enormous sanctions' plus it wouldn't really be a cost as opposed to a long term investment. China is currently investing heavily in the African infrastructure and I doubt Chinas intentions are philanthropically motivated
- skinnymuch 5y agoChina’s total Africa investments are not that high compared to the scenario of the parent to infiltrate Ukraine that way. The issue of where the population of people to move to Ukraine doesnt work either.
- Grakel 5y agoA military invasion costs more, especially if it doesn't go well. Better to buy, bribe, and bully.
- skinnymuch 5y agoI responded to a comment saying to pack Ukraine with Russians from Russia. That’s an incredibly expensive endeavor in every way. Russia doesn’t have that many people. Ukraine isn’t a low population country.
