The ruling class will makes sure they are insulated from the consequences of war. It's always the poor who are sent out to die.

and the poor are the most enthusiastic about it because they're conditioned to by the rich.

the icing on this shit cake is that the poor will get angry at you for trying to make them aware of this fact.

I think it's fair, long range missiles are the "diplomatic weapon". Give long range missiles to Sweden and also Cuba, Venezuela, the Sahel States, Colombia, Mexico, Bolivia and any other small country that feels threatened by a military superpower. That'll ensure no more wars. \s

Seems fair to me. Russia has missiles that can strike Sweden, why wouldn't Sweden want to have missiles that can strike Russia?

Mutual aid for? Just to remind of context, NATO is menacing Russia, not the other way around. Russia marched into LPR, DPR and Ukraine only after NATO threat of adding Ukraine. Btw at first LPR and DPR were recognized as independent by Russia before being integrated into the federation
