@calxandr Never ceases to amaze me how liberals have instantaneously flocked to support a war:
1. strategised by neo con Nuland
2. executed by neo “Nazi” Right Sector
They drape their web sites with Ukrainian flags whilst vociferously urging their proxy to “fight to the last Ukrainian”.
@Microinteracti1@johnnyjmils Russia is literally the racial, religious & rule foundation of Europe
1. Race: Caucasian Indo Pontic Yamanaya
2. Religion: Orthodox Christianity lineage nicene council
3. Rule: Byzantine empire Third Rome
Hard to believe that a monumental ignoramus has 100k+ followers
Through 2021-22 Zelensky signed off:
1. Mar Crimea deoccupation 117/21
2. June NATO EOP accession
3. Sep US-UA CAP mini-me nato
4. Dec AFU build up Donbas LoC
5. Jan abandon Minsk 2
6. Feb CSV on Donbas LoC
Putin should not have tried regime change
Plenty of blame to go around
Rereading Zelenskyy’s open letter to Putin, one thing that stands out is how relentlessly he personalizes responsibility for the war.
He repeatedly uses phrases like “your war,” “your choice,” “you did not expect resistance,” and “history will remember this as your decision.”
Zelensky hangs legal responsibility, political responsibility, and historical responsibility for the invasion directly and almost exclusively on Putin personally.
This feels like a meaningful pivot. For years, there has been a strong emphasis on collective Russian responsibility and the idea that Russian society enabled, supported, tolerated, or failed to oppose the war.
I’m not sure what to make of this shift. Perhaps it is simply a diplomatic device. Perhaps it is an attempt to speak directly to Russian elites. Or perhaps it reflects the beginning of something more strategic: the intellectual groundwork for a post-Putin future in which Ukraine can distinguish between the architect of the war and Russia itself.
In any case, I suspect the choice of language was deliberate and we will see the rationale unfold in the coming days and weeks.

@Hugo_StiglitzUA This scenario depicted in the image is not RF official state policy It’s just some Duginite hard liner jotting down his fanciful wish list
Again you are misleading your readers Scholsrly malpractice
@slantchev Katchsnvski refutes your falsehoods chapter & verse
Ukraine War started by UA-US axis
1. UA wanted to replace Donbas Russian apparatchiks oligarchs & siloviks with Kiev Ukrainians
2. US wanted UA accede to NATO to block RF integration into EU via Nordstream & grab Sevastapol
@ianbremmer Putin did make a mistake in attempting regime change UA.
But Putin, the dictator, made good faith efforts to avoid war, before & after eg istanbul
By contrast NATO relentlessly
1. expanded nato,
2. staged color revolutions
3. sanctioned whole nation
with zero accountability
@slantchev Well nato expamsion, sponsored coups & proxy war has gotten two million Russians & Ukrainians killed or wounded.
Wrecked ukrane, decimated Russia & vassalised Europe.
So sure, let's double down on war.
I'm sure with a little effort you NAFO strategic geniuses can top that!
