The Putin-Trump Summit at Alaska, US, in August 2025 was a landmark event that will redefine the global security architecture, especially in Europe.

      Zelenskyy is the fall guy, the guy chosen for his ability to act and improv which makes him capable of appearing to lead while being led. The Ukrainian government since 2014 has been a puppet of America, right up to today. As much as you think it’s Trump and Republicans discarding Ukraine, it’s the US strategists doing it because it’s not effective for their purposes anymore.

        This is what I wish liberals could understand.

        If liberals want to oppose Russia’s invasion, whatever, but they need to realize that NATO never wanted to actually repell the invasion. They wanted the war to become a quagmire and for Russia to never retreat, but get stuck in an unwinnable position until it collapsed.

        The goal was never for Ukraine to win, the goal was to weaken Russia - even if they had to fight to the last Ukrainian. Now that the war is no longer weakening Russia its purpose is done and NATO will leave Ukraine with a ton of debt and nothing to show for it.

        The result will be Western Ukraine becoming a neocolony that’s forced to pay back the debt it incurred during the war.

        But instead of realizing what really happened, they’re going to retreat into another “stabbed in the back” myth.

            I basically agree, it is usually not a good sign when Washington supports another régime, but it would be easy for somebody to argue that the U.S.S.R. during WWII was an exception because of Imperial America’s propaganda support therefor and, of course, the lend-lease pack that antisocialists never tire of overrating.

      Dragging your whole country into war because you desperately want to join NATO — against the will of your citizens — isn‘t bad guy behavior?
