Could a told you that 2 years ago when Boris Johnson sabotaged the peace talks so his masters in DC could benefit from Russia remaining at war.
EDIT: I guess I don't understand completely Lemmy, because some lib is calling me a Russian troll under this comment and I can't see it unless I go to the original/non-hexbear post.
It is not that surprising, Arabic media has been reporting it for a while. It is just that corporate media in the West is finally catching up to reality.
Times magazine is a stalinist rag that's doing Putin's bidding by publicly undermining the war effort against the Soviet Union!
Don't believe me? Look who times celebrated as person of the year back in 1943 when the OG Dictator was conqueroring Ukraine to steal it from the heroes that liberated it and genocide the ukrainian freedom fighters!
The Biden Administration’s strategy is now to sustain Ukrainian defense until after the U.S. presidential elections
An interesting admission here. I think this is true, though the real reason has nothing to do with helping Ukraine -- it's about avoiding a political disaster for the Democrats.
Maybe I'm wrong here, but I think most people never thought Ukraine would win the war outright. Personally, I've never heard anyone say that they thought Ukraine would push Russia out entirely and the war would end. Even if Ukraine did secure all of its land, Russia would almost certainly continue fighting along the border to prevent it from joining any alliance like NATO. It seemed the best anyone hoped for is that there would be enough pressure applied to Russia that something changed within where they gave up on the war.
If Russia comes out of this conflict with any gains at all that could be construed as "worth it" for their side it will be an open invitation to keep invasions on the table as a method to apply again in the near future.
There’s no realistic chance of someone winning the lottery, but it happens. If Ukraine is fighting for their sovereignty, NATO should be supporting them. End of story.
