Ummm no. It’s not. There’s a book called the great leveler which talks about economic inequality from the Stone Age to today. Redistributing wealth is an insanely hard problem.
Typically the leaders of the revolt just enrich themselves then you have the whole problem restarted. | In this scenario I’m substituting bananas for money and monkeys for people. The point I’m trying to make is that the billionaires and trillionaires are vastly outnumbered by the poor, and it would be relatively easy for us to rise up and kill them then redistribute the wealth. | null | worldnews | Pissedtuna | Brief-Definition7255 | 1,767,302,825 | nx576nh | nx0ckir | 1q0oijg | 0.2 | -0.4 | -0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
I thought the javelins made significant impact. Less enemies to worry about. | And how’s that working out for Estonia? Could have spent that on its own defence forces, rather than pissing in the wind wasting money on a war that won’t end well for Ukraine.

They quite possibly might be equiped enough to get their land back.
They just have to hold off longer than Russia can stomach the war, which seems increasingly possible. | And Ukraine is not supported by EU or the US in such manner, that it can reclaim the territory lost.
People need to get real with the situation. Russia will claim those regions it captured, it's not concession, it's conquest, plain and simple.
