    US investors don’t want to own property in an empoverished Russian puppet country. They want to own property in a wealthy, thriving Western puppet county. So yes, it’s because our proxy is winning.

      Winning so hard that their big armored counteroffensive culminated with them losing ground lmao

      Vulture capitalists want to buy assets for liquidation at rock bottom prices. This was part of the western impetus for starting the hostilities in the first place. They were hoping to draw the Russian Federation into an endless quagmire to juice war industry profits and hopefully collapse the RF government to get another nice lucrative round of shock therapy. Since the economic warfare effort backfired, the US has been contenting itself with absorbing the western european energy market while stripping Ukraine for assets.

          Based on some of your other comments you come off as completely oblivious to the geopolitical history of the region.

          YOU invading a sovereign nation

          I’m almost certain the person you replied to is not on the front line on behalf of the RF, and I’m even more certain they had no say in the decision to invade.
