> a war without a real cause. That is how history will remember it.

Foolish me thinking the cause was money

Almost everyone losing money on this war, few industries profit, but that's a side effect, not the point. The real reason is simple: one guy who is already one of the richest on this planet wants something money can't buy, his name in history books. Everything about Putin's ego
One can only (bitterly) laugh at your cluelessness and ignorance. After all, they relieved you of the burden to listen to the sides involved, with the complicity of the media and various "dangs". You know, "Russian propaganda", "Prigozhin troll factories", or whatever convinces your "critical" minds.

I can suggest that you read Machiavelli's "Discourses on the first decade of Titus Livius". Maybe then you'll start wondering whether they are telling you all you have to know..

Oh he'll be in them history books. Just not the way he thought he'd be. Loser.
