Ill remind everyone again why Russia invaded & why Elon Musk changed his stance after his encrypted call with Putin. If you think its about NATO, you are either a grifter or brainwashed. truepublica.org.uk/global/huge-li…
Reminder why Russia had to have Mariupol at any cost, half the world's semiconductor-grade neon, critical for the lasers & micro chips is now in the hands of Russia. But maybe it was to save the Russian speakers from evil Bio Lab LGBT Zionist Nazis. dunno reuters.com/technology/exc…
Ukraine allowed them to rent Crimea basically for years, Russian elite purchased land & property, visa free travel. Yanukovych rented the Naval base in exchange for gas discounts, which they never gave. But why rent when you can steal trillions cnbc.com/2014/05/18/in-…
Yes theres more, Russia was dependent on Ukr supply of uranium & zirconium for the needs of the nuclear industry. Irshansk & Volnogorsk titanium mines for space industry. Ferroalloy, zirconium, tungsten, gallium molybdenum. Europe's biggest Uranium deposit in Novokonstanyinovka
Without these products whole branches of the Russian Space, military-industrial complex & Russian energy sector cannot function. In many cases the Ukrainian side holds critical know-how for which it will be necessary to develop an alternative production.
That means years of research & big capital investments to be able to replace some pieces of hardware that came from Ukraine. So if one disregards the opportunity of normal trade relations, in order for Russia to become a self-sufficient Empire, there are only two options left:
1) To go all the way and develop alternative production after years spent on developing the know-how and millions spent to build the national production capability, or
2)To grab the production in the neighboring country by force
