Yep they are really trying to reconcile the past Slava Ukraini narratives with the modern reality in a way that they can save face and not admit they were wrong. Much the same tendency we saw towards the end of the Iraq War and Afghanistan War. We were right the whole time until we randomly weren’t right at the end! We only made one tiny little error!
Before I knew the first thing about the nature of this conflict, it felt familiar in a way that reminded me of Iraq. The simplistic and one-sided narrative that focused on the personalities of leadership instead of the stated positions and geopolitical analyses, the extreme and pervasive harassment of not just dissenters, but even people who asked unapproved questions, the absolute lockstep of liberal media.
And on the modern internet, it’s hard to get any sort of genuine perspective outside of the one that the US favors, so even researching this was extraordinarily difficult.
I’m honestly not surprised they fell for it. You have to be outright contrary in personality just to think to question it to begin with (aside from actually being informed of this ahead of time by meager leftist infostreams)
They’re out of missiles! They were trying to take Kiev but were defeated! The ghost of Kiev shot down 20 Russian jets! They’re using shovels! They’re using chips out of washing machines! They’re using human waves! They’re using human waves of Koreans!

It’s incredible how libs falls for this every single time too.

well put
Well putting the pieces together requires a memory of the entire event from start to finish, which libs are incapable of
Wonder what it’s like to go through life with the mental capacity of a goldfish.
Liberals oppose every war except the current one.
The eternally “tricked” lib. They thought they learned their lesson after the iraq war.
Russia will fall by Christmas!!

putin foolishly rejects our ultimatums so we must elect King Sanction XVII
Most likely they’ll just blame Trump for it all. He’s given them the easiest way to save face, of course they’re going to take it.
