they’re certainly going to cut off “support” eventually, I’m just having a hard time imagining how they’ll attempt to rhetorically justify it considering their rampant Russophobia up to this point
Yeah, you can only get people to buy into the narrative as long as they’re not connecting it with their material conditions. People are starting to connect the war and the economic decline now.
Russophobia has not started in 2014, it was simply amplified a bit further. But it was very much a trend for decades. Yet that did not stop US companies from exploiting the local workforce. In fact, until last year I was working for a US company and veteran colleagues said their situation actually improved after 2014 - the exchange rate of dollar jumped and we suddenly became very attractive as a cheap IT workforce
They will drop it and immediately ramp up the anti China propaganda because that’s the whole reason the want to pull out of Ukraine in the first place. They failed to do anything of major significance there so they are going to change course and push action with Taiwan in order to start a war. Libs won’t care about dropping Ukraine because it’s been long enough that they have lost interest.

Yeah, that is the question. They kind of painted themselves into a corner here, and not clear how they spin this as a win now.
the US is a master at controlled opposition, but people are seeing the results of this war effort and it’s more unfavorable than ever

of course, but from what I can see it seems to have been amplified massively in 2022

And twist the narrative to suggest that all this time it was Ukraine, not it’s US handlers, that was being obstinate about peace negotiations.
