Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.

    Screenshot and record everything. Make sure they will never forget.

      They’ll still whine and complain about being held accountable. I straight up saw a thread once that stated “tankies being right doesn’t mean they’re right!”

      Doesn’t matter, same song and dance every time and they never learn. When they are given a new Cause to rally behind, they will even as they throw the last one under the bus.

      “Yeah, they really fooled us with Ukraine, but THIS TIME we know that (probably China) is the real threat to humanity!”

      Don’t you believe that people can change their mind?

        There is a big difference between changing your mind and being such a massive tool that you get whipped into a blood frenzy by the media and then drop that whole notion on a dime. All while calling those who tell you that you are being duped puppets of the Communists/Saddam/Putin etc. …

        Happend in Vietnam, happend in Irak, happend in Afghanistan, is currently happening in Ukraine and it will happen again in the next region the USA fights a war or proxy war over.

        So no I wouldn’t let them get away with “I changed my mind.”

          I agree.

          Still, it won’t stop smug liberals from using this ‘argument’ to shut down discussion.

            Yeah. Being a Communist in the first world sometimes feels like being Cassandra. We know we are right, history keeps proving us right and yet no one believes us.
