this is what im saying
ukraine was never supposed to win the war. it was always a war of attrition to break the russian economy and government
Of course not. It’s fine though, there’s still 25 million people in Ukraine, every single one ready to die for the EU.
Every single one ready to be busified to fight and die for NATO
to put things into perspective, in 1991 ukrainian population was over 50 million!
every single one ready to die for the EU
i hope you’re being sardonic
I think they are… It’s a reference to the common phrase that NATO and the EU are willing to “fight the war to the last Ukrainian” by egging the Ukrainians on to fight and scuttling any chance for peace.
thanks, i hoped so. it’s just that i’m autistic and thus pretty bad at detecting sarcasm, especially over text.
Yes. What TrashcanOfIdeology said. The west is very happy for countless Urkanians to die, so long as it mildly inconveniences Russia for a minute or two.
“Peace breaks out”? Like a… Illness?
I know the phrase from I.F Stone’s book Hidden History of the Korean War. In that instance, much like Ukraine, any glimpses where Peace Talks could have been useful were sabotaged.
Maybe the phrase has a longer history, someone else might have an older example
Oh no, peace, how terrible (/s)
Who could have seen this coming.
