    He might be evil, but unlike the MAGAs he actually understands the politics of power; Ukraine has to be a US 'win' in the same was as the US has to be prepared to go to war to defend Taiwan. Lose those and the international order, which massively benefits the US, falls apart.

    "buh? What do you mean that I'm a 'satanic New World Order nazi'??? That's crazy and does not correspond to reality, actually"

        well they don't even understand that to maintain the "international order", Ukraine only has to be another forever war that doesn't even have to be won by NATO, but only needs to be waged as long as possible to keep Russia occupied and prevent the economic threat of an EU running on cheap Russian gas.

        these idealist fucking children have spent a decade calling everybody with an actual understanding of geopolitics in the region a Russian asset. they are philistine scum, so rick & morty brained they mistake their cynic chauvinism for intellectual superiority. they have an epistemology of evil, believing that the most cold-blooded bootlicker take is the correct one.

      You'd think some asshole that is capable of spewing that might take a few seconds and exercise some critical thought on it, but no

      Alternatively, they're irredeemable
