Well one simplest thing you could start with is to stop saying that Zalnsky is struggling with “new information” and call it as is — US robbed Ukraine, lied to us and the US citizens are cool with genocide of innocent people they lied to if friendship with aggressor make them some bucks
IMO its a decent first step that doesn’t cost you much, reflects reality and stands to objective truth as close as possible
1. He is struggling with the new reality.
He has grown accustomed to expecting people to keep sending him money and arms
2. That reality has changed.
3. He is struggling with that new reality - as is the rest of the world.
That IS the reality. That is objective truth.
There is no lie in there, it is as clear as can be. The US is no longer interested in policing the world ( at least not unless they get something from it. )
I think you overestimate amount and quality of help in general and weapon in particular coming from US. And I assume you falsely think that Ukrainians stop fighting once US help stops. This is pretty far from the truth
Stopping all US help would be hard but that won’t force Ukrainians to surrender and die. At least not this year. Similar applies to the rest of aid from partners
Thats why its not actually a new reality but just an obstacle for Ukraine. Its a big obstacle and a huge backstab from people (not govt) considered to
be partners and friends, but nothing world-stopping. But I know everyone would want to believe in it
But when you depict US support as the choice between to proceed fighting for our lives or get to our knees – that helps aggressor in general, shows your ignorance of Ukraine and make you look like you think Ukrainians are just miserable bugs and don’t deserve to live normal life.
None of that was in my comment. This is you imagining an argument in your head, and projecting it onto me.
My point was simple - the world is struggling to digest the new reality that the US is pulling back from providing cover.
Nothing I said implied Ukraine would stop fighting. Everything I said was to say that is all they can do.
I think where people are really having a hard time understanding that really the last 75 years or so may have been completely manufactured by the intelligence communities/ military industrial complex around the world, in order to perpetuate the money laundering and grift.
The entire Cold War itself may have been a fake out??
How many more false flags and “narrow escapes” are we going to accept?
The whole thing seems to be built off a faulty premise. Only now do we have the technology to enable the transparency needed in order to start understanding the inner workings of how this is all been going down and people in power that have a remote appetite to look into it…
The people never wanted any of this. Those in the ruling class were always the one brainwashing the population into thinking policing the world was the right thing to do. This is now the new reality that people have awoken to realize…
I'm not going to go as far as say the cold war was all a lie, or faulty premise.
Certainly there was a risk that Communism was going to grow in influence post WW2, but I would agree or nod through the idea that the threat was 'fluffed up' to make sure the 'people' we on side.
Ironically that is what is missing now, and led us to here. The 'people' are not 'on board' with that premise.
I'm not saying it is right, wrong, irrelevant or anything in between.
I am merely saying the world has changed. The US has pulled back - they are shouting it loud and clear - we all need to listen and think about what that means.
I have no idea where it leads. I do know that before the US took on that role as global policeman, we all had to look out for our own trade routes, and project power.
I don't know what that world looks like if we revert there either.
Yes. No one does. To your point, it just is what it is. The sovereign individual predicted we would evolve into more local communities and understanding and governing from a more local level anyway. So it does fit that theme of nation states and empires losing power.
