Like yes sure, Russia is a very reactionary country but I wish the westerners good luck with trying to destroy Moscow the way it did Gaza.
Did these people forget the cold war?
This is not to say Hamas or the Houthis are weak ofcourse. Palestinians keep killing the IOF despite the JDAMs.
It's the dunk tank.

Part of me wonders what these suburban lotus eaters are gonna think when the Ukrainian military collapses
But another part of me knows these dipshits can twist any new information to fit their unfalsifiable orthodoxy and will probably pull a "stabbed in the back" myth out their ass
Either they go "stabbed in the back" or they just move on and delete their old signs of support. I think it depends on the severity of the blowback, and since I imagine it being mostly contained to Europe, I don't think these dipshits will give a shit.
yeah the ability to turn around and say they "we all knew it" when they are proven wrong beyond any doubt is unparalleled
I kind of hope they run the 'stabbed in the back' play; whatever ukronazis remain will DEFINITELY find a reason to have it up and stuck for settler-Amerikans after that point.
Look what happened in Afghanistan. The whole thing fell over while Americans were still loading at the airport. Everyone in the West got super angry for a couple weeks then proceeded to memory hole it
There were people hanging onto the outside of planes until they fell to their deaths and there was 0 mention of them a week later. Just a video that showed up online and maybe cable news (no idea I don't watch tv news) and instantly memory holed
Oh God I remember that now. Jesus
I wonder if the military refugees will get the same special treatment that South Vietnamese military refugees got. They’ll probably be more ghoulish because they can’t let a white nation fall to the Slavic Horde (they will forget that ukrainians are slavs too)
I call goal change, "it was always the goal of western intervention to ensure Russia only got and no more than that". Excluding the fact that Russia was trying heavily to peacefully negotiate for x y z 10 years ago.
They will suddenly and openly embrace the "proxy war" narrative that we've been talking about since before the invasion started, like it was always their goal of supporting Ukraine to "fight them over there so that we don't have to fight them over here" instead of "total victory by UwU smolbean-arino Ukraine over the eBiL totalitarian stinky head Vladimir Putin and HIS Russia."
Probably similar to their Afghanistan excuses. “Oh we did everything we could but the locals were too corrupt and cowardly to use our equipment correctly”
