it’s crazy how we were right about everything the whole time
The tankies were right, yet again.
the burden of actually having a clue
I knew it! Western media and politicians have been lying about the possibility of defeating Russia all along.
They are either delusional or manipulative. In Russia’s advantage it is politically more stable long term than any Western government which could at any moment elect a government that doesn’t want to continue the war
East/West Ukraine incoming?
I think a more likely scenario is that Russia will simply absorb the eastern part and then install a compliant regime in the west.
I’m not sure this is more likely. It may happen, depending on what parties ending up winning elections in the West. But if the current governments remain in power I can’t see them allowing it to happen even if it meant WW3.
They will likely use the Crimean model in the east atleast. The west not sure. Theres a chance the west ends up being some sort of buffer neutral zone between EU and Russia.
Also possible that Russia would let Poland absorb it and make it their problem.
I highly doubt that Russia would be ok with a NATO nation taking over west ukraine. It would only happen if NATO nations forced it to be so.
“because all our Western partners want is for us to fight until the last Ukrainian.”
It’s like when you watch a movie and a character says the title of the movie
Roll credits already ffs
Nytimes admitting what we said word for word two years ago
Must be that time again
The burden of being a tankie, always correct.
But the real audience for the plan might be at home, some military analysts and diplomats say. Mr. Zelensky can use his hard sell — including a recent address to Parliament — to show Ukrainians that he has done all he can, prepare them for the possibility that Ukraine might have to make a deal and give Ukrainians a convenient scapegoat: the West.
Liberals gave so much money to Ukrainian Nazis, trained them to be serial killer drone pilots, and set them up to blame those same liberals for the war. Fighting the war to the last Ukrainian is self-preservation at this point.
Liberals did the same thing in Afghanistan and throughout the Middle East, they’re no stranger to this strategy
“Hmm I wonder if training and arming these fundamentalist reactionary jihadists could ever backfire if they decide they hate the decadent and sinful West”
if they decide they hate the decadent and sinful West
That wasn’t the motive, else they would have attacked Japan.
Plus, this is Arab media https://youtu.be/XcclXnr6UVU

Correct it isn’t the real reason, it’s blowback for imperialism. The quotes were me being a stupid liberal, sorry if that wasn’t clear
