What happened to that automated first strike of yours?

None of that is a good analogy.
You seem to forget that Russia "annexed" Crime and then launched a full scale invasion.
I NOW DARE ALL WHO ENTER "RUSSIAN" THREADS TO DO ACTUAL RESEARCH INSTEAD OF PARROTING MEDIA PROPAGANDA!

Just all NATO weapons, mainly US weapons attacking Russia, it's people and armed forces. It is the absolute perfect definition of a US led proxy war against Russia.
Russia is the second largest supplies of arms in the world l. Are those russian proxy wars?
We all know this war would have been long over if the US had not kept supplying Ukraine with 100s of Billions of dollars in weapons & training
It wouldn't have started at all if Russia hadn't invaded. I think your blame for the war might be slightly misplaced.
Is Russia giving away 100s of billions in weapons to one country that is at war with another country? Is Russian personnel training this country free of charge? If they are then yes those are Russian proxy wars but as far as I know that is not happening.
Selling weapons for money is completely a different story. You don't know what a real proxy war is?
It wouldn't have started at all if Russia hadn't invaded. I think your blame for the war might be slightly misplaced
What about the ethnic Russian Ukrainians in the East? Should Russia just have ignored them and let them get slaughtered and walked on? Should Russia just have allowed the US to continue operating in Ukraine and politically influencing the country and its leaders? I think its funny you people think that's perfect fine but had Russia or another US enemy cozied up with Canada or Mexico the US would put an instant end to it.

So Ukraine was supposed to subsidize an area Russia had just stole from them?
Russia is supposed to be allowed to annex territory then rely on the nation they’re in conflict with to provide for their new territory.
Sounds like poor planning to me. Which isn’t a surprise, it’s the same country that had a mile long convoy stuck outside the Ukrainian capitol. They’re not exactly the best when it comes to logistics or the plan after they do a thing.
