I thought this guy was some kind of unhinged liberal politician but he's apparently a US historian. And this huge push to felate Zelenksy or else you're a traitor is some next level shit that I haven't seen about any other foreign leader.
Most liberals hold Netanyahu in some contempt, and a decent amount of them hold some weird, sometimes contradictory thoughts regarding Israel and Palestine since the more high profile shit that went on this year (but at least some think of Palestinians as being cruelly mistreated).
How many even consider Russian soldiers human currently?
everyone is getting desperate to play out their political fantasies as the reality of the post-covid new normal sets in. Western liberals are trying to reenact the last time they did something good and useful, which was defeating Hitler (even then they couldn't accomplish that on their own lol). So Putin has to be literally Hitler and Zelensky has to stand in for little innocent smol bean Poland or Czechoslovakia so liberals can say "never again" and feel good about themselves for "standing up to fascism" like their less pathetic ancestors did.
Except of course this isn't about fascism, it's about the world hegemon containing a geopolitical competitor. But with Trump permanently scarring all those liberals and making them lose faith in American democracy or whatever, this propaganda angle has proven very effective amongst those people who would probably claim they are "against war" only 4 years ago:
"Public opinion is turning against liberalism, fascists and filthy commies are among us, aren't you worried? Luckily, President Biden has a solution, support my war and we can dunk on all those authoritarians. Dunk on trump, dunk on tucker Carlson, dunk on the tankie that was mean to you on twitter"
Thus liberals believe this is IT. The Great Crusade Against Fascism, Part 2, brought to you by President Joe Biden. Your grandfather stormed the beaches, you can storm twitter. Liberals are already self-mythologizing themselves (with a little help from the state department) and the war isn't even over yet. So if you sensibly don't buy into this delusion they think you're a traitor because they are in a TOTAL WAR AGAINST FASCISM (as part of the Posting Corps ofc)

Is it beyond Israel?
