Those were not exactly conspiracy theories. They were investigated and proven. They were illegal from the start.

Fully agree. I been encouraging nuclear before global warming was mainstream.

Actually few have been proven true.

Little late now but I suggest we make some changes on our energy policy in the west. We can encourage renewable energy sources while at the same time supporting our conventional energy companies. Failing to do this has resulted in countries like Russia becoming energy giants. And all that money they make at our expense does not encourage world security.

Honestly I don’t think that would cause any legal problems.

The ‘weakened state’ could only come with far far more deaths of soldiers and Ukraine citizens and only a matter of time till this happens regardless. There certainly is a state right now in the next few months where where risk is quite high. If Wagner does succeed, I suspect all their energy will be focused inward and they will strive to become an energy powerhouse again. Particularly as the West is so willing to concede conventional energy production to countries like this. That could lead to a very unstable situation in say ten years when corruption becomes full blown.
