The real cause of the war in 2014 was #Ukraine’s refusal to join CIS. And Ukraine refused, because CIS was and is dead - it’s a USSR 2.0 with stagnating economy led by kleptocratic, degenerate elites and massive income inequality.

It’s not a coincidence I’ve brought up this chart of Ukraine vs Poland GDP per capita, because it 100% demonstrates the true cause for #Euromaidan - in 1991 they both started from the same level, but Poland has gradually overcome Ukraine (and even Russia, with its massive hydrocarbons income). There was a very simple reason for that - the common market in EU and rule of law. People in Poland and Ukraine are working just as hard, they’re pretty much the same people genetically and culturally… except their income in Ukraine was largely funneled out by Russian-Ukrainian oligarchy, fostered by Putin’s kleptocracy.

So why Putin can’t just let go off Ukraine? It’s also very simple - because if Ukraine grew as much economically as Poland just behind Russia’s border, then his own serf society could start asking questions. Why they have to live in shitty mud holes without proper sewage, when apparently “the same people” in Ukraine have everything?
