It's been fun to watch the media narrative transform from "the mighty Ukraine ubermenschen are killing the Russian orcs 10:1 and the Russian army is disintegrating" to "Ukraine needs more money and weapons if it's going to keep winning" to "Ukraine is completely outmatched and getting utterly wrecked"
In fact I still see claims by these liberals that the Russians are dying in human waves and that soon Putin will invade the rest of Europe.
Which is it? Russians are weak orks sending waves of conscripts without weapons and tanks that break apart instantly, or are the Russians capable of invading the whole world?

They literally view them like fantasy orcs, as in a horde of mindless brutes that are very dangerous as long as they're offscreen but crumple the instant Righteous Western Men meet them in battle
It's a paradox, Russia is collapsing, but also threatening the entire western order. Russia is too weak to defeat Ukraine, but if the west doesn't fight Russia there, then Russia will roll over Europe.
What's crazy is that most people I talk to about the dire state that Ukraine are in are like, "really, I thought they were winning?"
I'm genuinely amazed at how often I hear it.
I'm convinced that most people do not read the news and basically just decide what's going on by reading a headline and then overlaying some vibes, or more likely just from their Facebook feeds

The best part of all this is that there's zero self reflection happening in the liberal sphere.

And the libs are still catching up to the reality of the situation
For being such big news consumers, they're really behind the times
Still see people parroting the half million dead Russians shit
