But… why? They don’t even live there and most likely will never even visit. Nationalists are so dumb…
Feeling strong and important. Something that is apparently especially important when you are neither.
Sounds like the Russian population isn’t feeling the consequences of the war enough…
I think you’re wrong. This was last week
6% Inflation isn’t a lot of pain. Germany had the same in July/August.
Ok, but there’s a reason the article leads with the 15% interest rate (Germany is at 4.5%)
That doesn’t really affect people though.
30% or 50% inflation would. Rationing would. Power outages would. Having to go to air raid shelters every night would.
None of that is happening. The losses are downplayed, hidden, and the people sent to war are usually from regions or population groups with little influence. No wonder the population supports the war.
The government also isn’t losing anything important: they don’t care about the people, the weapon systems being lost are outdated scrap, and neither the luxuries of the elites nor the manufacturing and infrastructure inside Russia are being hit. Why would they stop?
This doesn’t matter in a non-democratic country.
The russkie serfs ain’t gonna feel anything as long as they are perpetually brainwashed.
