I don't understand? He wished, really, really hard that Russia's nuclear weapons would magically disappear, and yet...they didn't? What kind of powerful dark magic does Putin possess to be immune to the most powerful technique of the liberals; Wishful thinking?
Kremlin Propaganda and Tankies ruined the vibes so their greatest weapon was rendered defunct.
Look what you did comrade!

it's been pretty funny watching all the people who were howling about Russia's inevitable loss suddenly having to confront reality. every few months I check in on r/ukraine to get a read on their cope levels
Hating Russia has become the whole identity for lot of these people. I think that the whole Russiagate conspiracy hoax should be studied as an absolutely masterful piece of social engineering. It forever linked Russia with the election of Trump in the minds of liberals, and all visceral hate they feel for Trump is directly transplanted onto Russia for free. These two things have now become equivalent and interchangeable in the liberal mind.
It also creates an easy release valve to alchemically convert frustration with our grinding, decaying status quo into racism. All that institutional rot of late capitalism? Yeah, it was the Asiatics actually.
It was already evident that Russia was winning back in July.
Even Obama correctly said back in 2016 that Russia will always be able to maintain escalatory dominance in Ukraine. Only people with brains as smooth as bowling balls ever expected Ukraine to defeat Russia.

"But I modeled it in my Hearts of Iron campaign, and you can see that if you just do this and this you will be able to defeat the entire soviet union with a much smaller army!"
Western and liberal media are the only trustworthy and never would do that, you must be wrong tankie
One of my favorite recent tropes is liberals lashing out when you link them mainstream lib media like NYT or WSJ explaining that the war is lost.
Even for such short-sighted people, this must be massive cognitive dissonance. On the other hand, these contradictions may be not enough to make them to some reflection, since postmodernist universities teach people that there is "no objective t uth" and "each opinion is equally true" 🤦🏽
I always see reactionaries saying that last sentence, and I'm not calling you one, I'm just pointing out that I've never ever seen any educational institution say that there is no objective truth or that all opinions are equally valid.
Maybe I went too far: I meant that present universities have postmodernist mindset (based e.g. on my experience with philosophy graduates), they criticise communism almost equally with fascism as "totalitarianism" and from the tragedy of ww2 they deduce that modernism does not work, so we can not rely on rationalism etc. at least this is my impression
Nice to share, but without elaborating further, your post contributes nothing
Hot take: Postmodernism does have some good takes — correctly does call out the subjectivity in the stuff libs call “objective” that are in fact open to other (even better) interpretations. Not saying some takes aren’t more wrong than others or anything though.
I think nobody denies that some notions are subjective, but postmodernists essentially claim that all truths are subjective

What are Europe's foundations motherfucker?

Western backed armies good at killing, not fighting. What a surprise lol
It's always such a bummer to the ubermenschen when the enemy fights back.
Kyiv’s counter-offensive has ended in failure.
Can't end something if it never even started in the first place.
Ukraine put out this hilarious commercial before their offensive implying they had some big surprises in store.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The trend of reporting how things are really going is definitely on the rise as it becomes increasingly difficult to keep pretending everything's going according to plan. Not that they're not trying though. One of my fav recent articles was the one from The Guardian where it just plainly admits that it's not about winning anymore, but about controlling the narrative
thank you
