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.
The article is not even defeatist, it's just arguing that the "good guys" take a more realistic approach to the conflict and not expect the impossible. Be more honest with the public about what the situation is so you can sell a forever war instead of pretending it is gonna be over soon.
Folks are so heavily propagandized about this that they are taking pro-Ukrainian sources trying to secure indefinite commitment to the conflict as Kremlin stooges.
Yeah i noticed long ago, they are cutting up their sources one by one because anything that is breaching their internal narrative of being 150% correct on everything is getting immediately called "Putlerbot", now they are basically only allowing the most nonsensical propaganda outlets like Kyiv Independent and soon will have to cut off even those.
To be fair though, this particular guy i screened is one of the worst libs in entire lemmy and possibly fediverse, every time i see him, he's up with some really awful take.
