Ukraine’s fate is always downgraded 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 No point citing a Ukrainian propaganda tool to describe the situation in the Ukraine.

Dozens of Russian weapons tycoons have faced no Western sanctions as Russia continues to pummel UkraineAn examination of companies, executives and investors underpinning Russia's defence sector shows a sizeable number of players have not been sanctioned by the West. Until Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Halliburton, Blackwater, etc, are sanctioned, why should anyone else be? Any US weapon tycoon faced Western sanctions as US was bombing Yugoslavia and Libya, invading Iraq and Afghanistan, and occupied Syria? Perhaps they faced sanctions for gun violence in US?
