Unlikely. Don't get me wrong, there would be a humanitarian and environmental crisis but we would probably do strings-attached humanitarian aid, tariffs, etc. The "we had no choice but to invade, we will be treated as saviors and liberators" line is a fascist's excuse.

I'm not going anywhere. Those assholes can fuck right off to a deserted island and live out their gunslinger fantasies there. It'll be deserted again within a month.

Not much difference between Russian state media and their soul brethren at FOX. Maria Ovsyannikova noped out after only a few weeks, which would be considered weak by FOX standards. Heck, they have been telling their viewers myths about covid for over two years, at great cost in lives.

Standard Russian operating procedure would be to blow up some of their own passenger planes, mebbe a train and blame it on Ukraine. 'Cause that's how Putin rolls.

I think there are both - true believers at the bottom and the cynical sell-outs at the top. I don't think Sheer InSannity, for example, is actually smart enough to know what he doesn't know. Brian Kilmeade and Peter Doocy are also a few bricks short of a Happy Meal.

If you liked what Meduza is doing to report the truth to the Russian people, the folks at that outlet can use your financial support. Mother Jones, for one, has a link to a donation website for them.
