    They fought against corrupt pro-russian regime. Unfortunately due to liberalism they decided to elect corrupt pro-west regime, and now they will retreat into corrupt nationalist regime. This are all shades of liberalism.

    As for zelenskiy, I think he is gravelly mistaken, as western weapon freely distributed will mean ukraine will descend into criminal violence after russian retreat. However, if it is occupational war, distributing guns is correct for national liberation.

    So we’ll see in the next 2 month which was correct interpretation of russian actions, I think afghanistan experience is still fresh in russian minds, so they’ll leave them as is - no military, and 3 billions in weapons freely floating, like chechnya in the 90s, only for eu.

      Oh definetly don't interpret me as a fan of the Ukrainian Government. I feel though that Zelensky most of all was just a very un experienced person to become the head of the state there that had no way to do something against corruption.

        I just mean this liberation of kiev is liberal point of view, they haven’t liberated shit, nothing changed for ukraine outside of losing crimea, gas deals, and getting easier eu immigration papers. Professional (it) workers loved it, the rest didn’t notice it, not really.

        As for the putin brainworms, meh, it’s just speculation of all, because by all accounts his actions look irrational to everyone, inside and outside russia. It follows that all the consequences with sanctions were fairly obvious as well. So either putin/small circle around him have gone completely irrational, or there is a reason there (not denazification obviously), but demilitarization? Or creating a ticking time bomb I described, which seems much more inhumane than invasion itself, but seems logical as all reactions to invasion (outside of cb sanctions) with weapons flow, easier eu migration can be predicted
