    I can’t shake the feeling that more than a few people planned for a Russian victory from the beginning, martyring Ukraine for a fascist revival in Europe.

    It's possible, but I genuinely think most of the ruling class in the west buys their own bs, particularly in the USA. Sometimes the military brass is more realistic because they know their resources.

    I think this is why we are seeing other countries starting to make moves to break from the US' grip. I expect more situations like in Niger over the next few years.

    Hopefully no nukes get dropped.

      True, but I'm thinking about the grassroots fascist orgs that coordinate online, that got involved in this whole project. I've talked to fascists before, and there is a breed of them that really would burn a whole country down to incite fascist sympathy across Europe. If the US gave them power, knowingly or unknowingly, in Ukraine, then I think there's more at work than just the ghouls in leadership.
