Zizek calls himself a leftist and of course then says a bunch of horrific liberal bullshit. What a joke of a man.

    So if Plan A was to throw as much of Ukraine into the meat grinder as possible while eventually delivering defeat by economic and/or industrial exhaustion to Russia so that the ruins of both countries could be sold off for parts, what's Plan B now that it's not working? Is The West TM stuck grinding this out until Ukraine is forced to sue for peace, and Halliburton et al. will have to console themselves with all the defense contracts awarded along the way, or are we going to hear increasingly escalating rhetoric until a really big bomb gets dropped somewhere where it does a whole lot of damage and things go extra pear-shaped?

      It looks like they’re trying to turn Ukraine into a weapons hub after the war is over in whatever territory is left after the Russian offensive is done. The next big fight will be for Odessa since it is Ukraines last shot at a port. It’s every sign that Russias going to take it. That being said now that the US is pulling funding out of Ukraine it really looks like Europe is going forward outside of the leadership of the US. This is why I’m kinda concerned that Macron and the Germans are not joking about boots on the ground. If that happens it may or may not be with natos help. Defense contractors as always are still winning.
