    and conveniently allowing the US/Europe to say "Ukraine bad now actually, we're going to stop supporting them". they've been looking for a way out for a while anyway and this may be the beginning of that

      It would be extremely funny if this is how the US breaks it's support for Ukraine somehow. Blaming the Ukrainians and throwing them under the bus once defeat looks inevitable to give angry Europeans a scapegoat and themselves an easy out since they "attacked our dear and respected ally and went too far"

        I wonder if they would truly turn against Ukraine or hold some lingering resentment towards them. This whole war has been sold to the Europeans pretty hard with I think Denmark treating the Zelensky plea for arms like some kind of Marvel event.

I need more ammunition” when he was told an armed escort arrived to pick him up. They lauded him as a brave leader who stands his ground and will sink with the ship if necessary.

          A few days later, pro-Ukraine media within Ukraine reported that they asked insiders about the quote and they were perplexed by it because it never happened. This follow up was never reported by western media or the newsball fans
