Ukraine is rightfully part of Russia

or not as useful as you think

factories aren't useful

Wars being prosperity and wealth long term

To the winning side

Weapons manufacturing factories are quite good in my opinion.

Prussia won lots of wars

now it doesn't exist

The thousands of wars that happen in europe is a reason Europe is as advanced as it is now

Prussia exists via Germany

you lose one and they carve you up permanently

no

Prussia *is* germany

Prussia literally doesn't exist

it's owned by poland

It's a direct ancestor of germany

owned by poland

Prussia was german in identity

opposite

Prussia created the german identity

fact is though, you lose one war and your country is finished

look at Ottomans or Austro-Hungarians

It lives on in different forms

Turkey is the ottoman empire

It's literally directly from it

It was literally just renamed after the Greater Ottoman Empire collapsed

Sure, war can collapse nations or rise them.

But long term, for everyone, it is a net positive action.

Depends if you've reached critical mass

China has done fine with no war since Korea

The Ottomans/austro-hungarians reached critical mass of having their base ethnic groups outnumbered by the dissident ones

By having economic policies akeen to war-time policies

Russia taking Belarus or ukraine is different because it's a small %

so they can actually hold it

Also large % of Belarusians/Ukrainians are loyal to Russia

Similar cultures

Same race

No they literally lived under russia for like 150 years

made up countries
