It was also a grand experiment in war fighting, one that would not only help the Ukrainians but reward the Americans with lessons for any future war.
How hateful this reads after 700,000 Russian and 435,000 Ukraine soldiers died and the clear signs of this being a proxy war of NATO vs Russia. Ukraine was manipulated and used, Russia provoked. NATO openly admitted to this and even though it’s still covered up by the media in lockstep when the war eventually grinds to a halt, the Ukranians will ask questions.
I suspect there will be decades and decades of recrimination and hate from Ukraine towards both the east and the west. A fascist Ukraine could become a terrible security problem for both Europe and Russia. Ukraine is good at propaganda, as seen with the KyivNotKiev campaign, and they will drag Europe down.
All this death and suffering, for what? Cheap real estate in the east?
Paywalled. I guess it stays secret
that’s why I linked archived version in the body of the submission
Thank you for that, pay no mind to those who won’t bother opening the full post to see it.
I did open it. It’s just that it’s rather clunky on mobile and the ad for the subscription initially takes up half the screen, so I mistakenly thought it was still obscured. Did not realize I could scroll through the graphics, viewing a small snippet at a time. Then, when I reopened it, the ad was minimized to a small portion of the screen.
That’s my bad
First the hill and now the ny times; who among the liberal media will be next to admit the reality that led to this needless Ukrainian tragedy and will the western world acknowledge it?
Looking at the comment sections in other instances, even this won’t lead to acknowledgment
The willful ignorance is depressing
