It’s Time to End Magical Thinking About Russia’s Defeat
It’s Time to End Magical Thinking About Russia’s Defeat
Putin has withstood the West’s best efforts to reverse his invasion of Ukraine, and his hold on power is firm. The U.S. and its allies need a new strategy: containment.
I didn’t realize this war had a time limit.
What an absolute bullshit article. Fuck WSJ.
I haven't read the article, but yes, wars do have time-limits:
Once a war becomes domestically impossible to participate in, Vietnam as 1 proof, then the-course-of-war changes.
Economic-collapse means that Biden's hosed in 2024, and the Republicans are Russian allies, not NATO allies.
Yes wars have time-limits.
Simply wait & see: by the end of 2025, NATO will be gutted, Trump will have been crowned GEOTUS ( a term they already use for him ), and Trump will ( passively, at least ) back Russia.
Sickening, but it looks like that's the fact of the unfolding global/geopolitical near-future.
You didn't realize? Now you do.
I sincerely appreciate that WSJ thinks their propaganda is so important that I'd want to pay to read it.
Sure but Russia actually winning the war also seems pretty magical imo. I mean wasn't this whole operation supposed to last about 3 days??
This article could have had a number of different headlines, like:
“It’s Time to End Magical Thinking That Turning a Blind Eye to a Psychopath will Make Them See the Error of Their Ways”
Or maybe:
“We Made Fun of Communism for Years, but Those Cheeky Fucker Are A Bit Tougher Than We Thought, and I’m Bored Now”.
For fucks sake we tried ignoring the travesty of Russia annexing a chunk of Europe in 2014. Ignored Putins goons shooting passenger planes out of the sky. And we’re expected to believe This Time it Will Turn Out Different.
Fucking muppets.
Right wing American media supporting Putin's preferred path forward in an opinion section? How shocking.
I've seen very little evidence for this Russian "strength", unless you're talking about quantity and depth of minefields, at which they are truly a superpower. If actual strength appropriate to their size existed, Andriivia would have fallen by now, and they'd still have their side of the Dnieper river.
Slava Ukraini.
.... whilst the country known as 404 still exists.
The OP seems to be obsessed with Russia.
yes, he does.
