He's already at war with the west... it's just not with tanks and bullets, it's with covert operations and propaganda meant to destabilize his enemies.

What enemy in the west? Krasnov?

There are reports like that from the very beginning of the war yet Russian economy outperformed all the expectations ever since. Just look at the actual numbers, their always collapsing is actually doing quite good

Dafuq? It was Zelenskyy who said Israel should be a model for Ukraine.

Zelenskyy says wants Ukraine to become a ‘big Israel’
