Like what the fuck, I don’t even know what to say about a title like this. Also

That’s where I think Vladimir Putin miscalculated when he invaded Ukraine last year: He underappreciated Ukrainian grit and resilience. I suspect some Americans make the same mistake. Month after month, Ukrainians have lost buildings, heat, electricity, lives — yet they are ready to keep sacrificing, and there is a society-wide reverence for those who have given so much.

Fucking ghouls. “Ready to keep sacrificing” eh? I just hope the West stops funneling pointless resources into this war, and it ends soon.

    And then the USA and its EU dogs will hail Zelensky as a hero after sacrificing the whole population of Ukraine. The goal was never to protect the people, of course.

    So protecting their land / homes from a senile dictator is pointless to you? What should they do? Give up?

      Listen, I think they need to protect themselves from Joe Biden as much as you do, but waiting until Joe rings the bell isn’t going to work. Ukraine needs to give up on the West ever doing anything in their interest and negotiate a cease-fire directly with Russia.

        After asking for cluster ammunitions it’s not up for debate if Ukrainian leadership is any considerate of Ukrainian lives.

      Very telling that you used their land/home and not their people.

      Because otherwise I could have said Ukraine doesn’t consider the people in the Donbass to be their people, since they’ve been killing them with mortars and submachine guns since 2014.

      But instead you picked the safe land option. Indeed, Ukraine considers the Donbass its land. And that is exactly the problem; they think this land is occupied by the wrong people.
