Zelensky has once more descended on DC in velvet-toned Hollywood fashion, for a last ditch plea to convince Republicans to unlock his money. He proceeded to break into this unusually…direct speech: Well, okay, maybe that was a joke. Continuing, there are a few interesting side-notes to contextualize his visit. Firstly, there was rumor that Zelensky was already being ‘side-lined’ by virtue of Yermak taking his place in globe-hopping, as he did last time when it was him visiting DC and soaking up all the high profile meetings. Some suspected that Yermak was in fact being presented as the true leader, and that rather than promoting Zaluzhny to the throne, the DC sponsors were getting ready to outright swap Zelensky with the less tainted Yermak himself.
The irony is that there were Ukrainian generals who were practically screaming not to do it, that a counteroffensive would be a disaster and that they should go on the defensive instead. But the Americans insisted they should attack so they had to do it and now they’re in a much worse position than they were this time last year. So i think you’re absolutely right, the more the Americans get involved in micromanaging this proxy war the sooner it will be over.
nah, i’m sure the people who lost to the taliban will figure out how to beat russia.
if all else fails, they’ll win the hearts and minds!
It makes perfect sense if you goal is to get an many Ukrainians killed as possible before you swoop in and take over what’s left of the industry and resources.
