> Economics is all that matters in this world. It isn't. Ukraine is a current demonstration of that.

You mean the proxy war that the US is funding through NATO to make Europe stop buying Russian gas and buy American LNG instead? That very much sounds like economics to me!

  No, I mean the war Russia created for itself when it invaded Ukraine for reason no better than Putin's vanity.

I can hardly think of a war more related to economics.

  Yes. Your incoherent self contradiction is amusing.

  Ha! Weak edit. At least have the backbone to own your edits. I'd also love to hear your unhinged explanation of what Russia's invasion of Ukraine has to do with economics.

    It was obvious what I meant. You just hopped in before I could edit it to spew some bullshit. I have no interest of arguing geopolitics with a moron that approaches this kind of discussion in bad faith. Suffice to say I think Russia is in the wrong, but there are plenty of economic motivations both for Russia and the US behind all this. I will not reply to you any further. Feel free to have the last word.

      > It was obvious what I meant You don't appear to mean anything. > I have no interest of arguing geopolitics with a moron that approaches this kind of discussion in bad faith. Ha! So this is why you defend authoritarian regimes. Like them, you have no tolerance for valid criticism. Like them, you can't admit you're wrong. Like them, dishonesty is all you've got. > but there are plenty of economic motivations Like what? Don't sulk now. Let's hear it.

The US is supplying the Ukrainian side for: A) Money B) Bleeding Russia for as long as possible, which will allow it to more easily make... C) Money in the future The economic elite that control the foreign policy of the modern powers do not decide to wage war for any other reason than money.
