Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
The reaction from people who've only been guzzling mainstream western propaganda for the past two years is going to be absolutely wild when it's no longer possible to pretend Ukraine is winning.
They're already abandoning Ukraine so they can send more weapons to Isreal for the purpose of enacting a genocide. Zeleskyy has been out panhandling, making sure people don't forget he's still alive.
I think it'll be very underwhelming honestly. If I've learned anything about libs in the last 6 months, it's how little they actually care about anything, and will gladly do a complete 180 of their attitude and act like they always held that position.
I mean it's entirely possible they just forget about Ukraine and move on to cheering for a war with Iran. However, I do think that Russia winning and dictating terms will be an affront to their core identity which is fundamentally rooted in chauvinism. All of a sudden they're going to have to grapple with the fact that it is the west that's being dictated terms by force as opposed to the other way around.
That's assuming the press actually tells them that though. I think it'll probably just end up with the headlines using words like "Belligerent" or "Unreasonable" to describe Russia's terms and the average lib will just assume the "moral victory" stance they always do when they lose.
That is a very likely scenario. The one thing libs have demonstrated is that they're utterly unable to learn from experience.
