    Zelenskyy’s invoking the word “betrayal” is part of the “moral blackmail” strategy that has worked well for the Ukrainian leader for the last two years, Galeotti said, but it can only go so far and is starting to wear thin in the West.

    Between language like this and being dropped off the topics at the Washington Post, it’s nice to finally see the American media start to turn on Ukraine.

        Too bad it will cause the exact same reflection as Iraq: none. Libs will immediately regroup on positions ranging between “we were always against the war” to “stab in the back”.

          Don’t forget “totally ignoring it ever happened”. How often do you hear them chanting HK slogans anymore?

          I will never allow people to forget how they behaved during this war. They were puppets on strings.

            i dont think you’ll be able to make them remember. their ears will shut down before any harm can come to their ever-shifting worldview.
