This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"I came to rob your house and you fought me so I shot your dog. What did you gain from this?"

If someone were to rob my house I might even let them take what they want and leave, in order to save myself and the dog. But the Russians didn't just come to rob the house, they came to rape my wife, kidnap my kids, kill my dog and stay indefinitely in the living room.

By fighting back, the Ukrainians gained that they do still exist.

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.

Low-cost drone manufacturing sector.

A workforce trained and experienced in the latest version of warfare, and data to back up their findings. This will be sought after by many.

The removal of the veil of uncertainty about Russia's intentions.

Sense of national unity and a single goal that overrides their differences.

It's not much, but there are a few positives to take from the bad situation...
