Just UK and France have 3x the economy of Russia (even with their fake numbers). That's not even counting Germany, Italy, Spain, and the rest of Europe. And let's not even compare USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Korea. The democratic world is almost 70% of entire world economy. Russia is less than 2%. People don't understand how incredibly expensive it is to maintain nuclear weapons and constantly exchange fissile material, otherwise it just won't work (not maybe, 100% won't work, that's physics). Russia cannot absolutely afford to maintain so many nukes with such tiny economy.

@r.a.acosta6528 They are not keeping Greenland. Danish PM said, if Greenland wants complete independence and can sustain itself, they can have it. But Greenland does NOT want to be part of USA, they want to be completely independent one day, till then they are dependent on Denmark. We are not in colonial era that we can give entire nations of people to someone else like trading cards. Only people of Greenland can make that decision. Why is USA pressuring Denmark, as if they were some "owners" of people in Greenland. Why not fly to Greenland and give them something they want? It's not that many people. But after what they are seeing with Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam... they are not stupid, they know it won't be good for them. Now they have free healthcare, free education, government funded retirement, long maternity leaves and all the EU labor protection laws. Who would want to give that up?

For people who think it was a brilliant Russian PsyOp.
What did Ukraine/NATO/West lose:
=> Embarrassment for politicians who were overly optimistic about Russia falling apart in a civil war = humiliation / embarrassment
What did Russia lose:
=> 25 000 of its best soldiers (Russian military has been only losing territory for 12 months straight, the only one who gained anything at all on Russian side was Wagner Group - now they are gone from Ukraine and possibly disbanded as a danger to the regime)
=> International humiliation and embarrassment for Russia when the world found out that Russia not only cannot protect its borders, but also any of its major cities including Moscow. There are absolutely no soldiers left in Russia, everyone is in Ukraine. If any country invaded Russia now it would take Moscow even with a very small army. Now for the whole world to see. Russia has nothing left - what we see in Ukraine is all that is left.
=> Putin has been revealed as a weak leader and a coward - coup in his country with large army marching on the capital city and he is just hiding in his bunker not giving any statements for 15 yours straight, pretending that nothing is happening - coward. For whole world to see and for all Russians to see.
=> Lots of civilians in Rostov cheered Wagner soldiers in the streets, giving them food and water, taking pictures with them and supporting them. This has revealed that many people in Russia do wish Putin's regime to be toppled. For the whole world to see, that Putin's 80% approval rate is fake.
=> Russian government has revealed itself to be absolutely incompetent to organize any resistance against Wagner. The maximum they could do was crash some dump trucks as a roadblock, that was removed by Wagner instantly. Then they excavated small part of the road and built one machine gun positions with 10 sandbags. All the defenders were just police and a handful of national guard - against TANKS and battle hardened mercenaries. Incompetent. Same with Russian media - they were so confused they didn't know what to air - no coordination, no plan, no spin - just videos about cutting grass on a stadium (1991 'Swan Lake moment').
=> Russia lost 6 combat helicopters, 1 very expensive military airplane and 13 trained pilots (all dead)
I am sure all these losses were worth the slight humiliation of western politicians. You have all been fooled! Russian PsyOp well done!

@johncarlaw8633 I read your post carefully. I quoted Churchill from public record, of course I don't know whether he actually said it, as I was not alive during WW2. But the point of that sentence is not in who said it but in the content. I admit I am biased. I was born in Czechoslovakia - we were the ones sacrificed. We even had military alliance with France (seems like a dejawu with Budapest Memorandum of 1994). But when totalitarian countries like Nazi Germany and Putin's Russia decide to ignore written military alliances, they just ignore them (any future Russia's "peace agreement" will be as worthless as Budapest Memorandum or any other agreement with Hitler - it's all the same, just a maneuver to re-arm and attack again, Russia will break any peace agreement that they want, they don't care, never have) and when you have alliance with Western Europe or USA and you get invaded, whether its France vs Czechoslovakia in 1938 or Budapest Memorandum of 1994 vs Crimea 2014 / Ukraine 2022, the West will just offer comfort and some weapons - when GUARANTEEING territorial integrity means you will send your entire military to defend that country... UK didn't do it, USA didn't do it... excuses again, as always. If they don't like it, then they should not have signed it in the first place. Ukraine would keep their 1000 nuclear weapons, bombers and ICBMs and in a matter of years would have decoded the launch codes (a lot of most advanced Soviet weaponry was made in Ukraine, they had the scientsts who would be able to do it), and there would be no invasion of Crimea in 2014 and there would be no war in 2022 and now. False promises of GUARANTEEING territorial integrity are just as dangerous as actual Russia. Us, the smaller countries in Central and Eastern Europe always get screwed. We are still pro-western, but very disappointed and disillusioned.
