What do you mean Ukraine is not willing to fight to its last citizen, for the West's amusement
after all, the west paid good money for the show
You mean young Ukranians aren't willing to throw themselves needlessly into a meat grinder? Wow that's real surprising!
I also loved this bit from FT article here https://www.ft.com/content/4d40482a-f8c4-42b8-af60-2374f93070ca
One point of tension between US and Ukrainian officials has centred on how Kyiv has deployed its military. US officials have encouraged Ukraine to be less risk-averse and fully commit its forces to the main axis of the counteroffensive in the south so it would have a chance of breaking through Russian lines to reach the Sea of Azov, effectively cutting Russia’s land bridge in southern Ukraine to Crimea, a critical military hub.
They're basically telling Ukraine to suck it up and accept high losses that will result from throwing their army at well defended lines. Turns out that it's NATO that advocates for human wave tactics that they've been accusing Russia of all this time.
near the beginning of the war liberals were decrying Russia for, according to them, arresting draft dodgers and sending them to the front anyways.
And now here we are, with Ukraine doing that and arguably worse (the equivalent of kidnapping), and liberals don't seem to give a shit.
I really hope there's a name for these mental gymnastics. When it's the "bad guys" anything they do is evil, but when it's the "good guys" doing the same shit it's somehow a good thing.
Slaps liberalism
