“In relation to Russia,” wrote Prince G.N. Trubetskoy, the ambassador in Serbia who was seen as a Bulgarophile, “the Bulgarians, like other Slavs, have adopted the belief that they only have rights, and that Russia has only obligations.”
“I noticed,” the Prince later recalled about his conversation with Emperor Nicholas II, “that it is generally difficult to rely on Slavic sympathies, and that the relationship with our clients in the Balkans resembles the relationship of a peasant boy to the landlord who baptized him. In the peasant's mind, the landlord should assist him for life, while he himself is not obligated to do anything for the godparent.”
“Who are you telling this to,” interrupted the Sovereign, “I have so many godchildren.”

Most of this war's footage can be boiled down to this: both sides are launching armadas of drones, mining the territory to all hell, relying on tube artillery, trying to kill each other and swearing in Russian profusely
This conflict is a net loss for both of us - that much is true. But it didn't start in 2022 or 2014. The entire thing is bonkers. You get part of your country chopped off and separated from you. Then you're supposed to act like nothing's wrong with it and we're still friends. Then the separated country starts rewriting its history, tries to divert its culture and eliminate native tongue of the majority of its population. Then they start a real war against their countrymen who refused to toe the line and convert to this new concocted identity. Then they threaten you with starting a nuclear program and inviting a hostile military block to their premises
We lost at Step 1 already. We just preferred not to acknowledge that we became the biggest losers on this planet when certain soviet imbeciles agreed to chop up the body of our country and sell some of its parts for scraps. Psychotherapy says that it's crucial not to sweep your problems under the rug but the 90s were about pure survival - not mindfulness. We recovered a bit in the 00s, got a bit carried away with petty bourgeois lifestyle and stuffing our guts and souls with basic commodities. Then we finally realized that something is missing. We have the lower half of our body amputated by a drunk surgeon with a rusty saw. And get this - the lower half has gained a consciousness of its own and is trying to kick our crippled ass - or what is left of it
A rude awakening for sure, but it was inevitable. It can end in three ways.
The likeliest scenario is low intensity forever war. Would be great for the West, a thorn in our side, it would also turn Eastern Ukraine into a wasteland - and everyone would cheer for it
Second scenario is "nuclear exchange billions must die" wojak dream. Although the chances are slim, it still is far likelier than Ukrainian military victory, reparations and a hipster revolution in Moscow
Third scenario is re-unification of Russian lands. Too bad it couldn't be done via negotiations and cool swift maneuvers in the Kiev suburbs but as Putlor says "курочка по зёрнышку клюёт тук тук тук"
I guess we will see
