Self-Congratulations, While Ukraine Burns.
⚡️Retrospective self-congratulations from foreign "experts" like Obama or Merkel or "Russia experts" who have gotten everything wrong about Ukraine since 2013 are laughable.
They allowed themselves to be trolled by Ruschian Disinfolklore into accepting the invasion, occupation, and genocide of a central European state in the 21st century.🙄
Today, partly as a result of their failures of insight, error-correction, forecasting, and pattern-recognition, Russia is threatening to blow up Europe's largest nuclear power plant. Today.
Meanwhile, they retrospectively self-congratulate themselves for strategies that led inexorably to this point🤯.
Ukraine's own community generated and funded volunteer military battalions held the line against the Russian invaders in 2014/2015, with very little help from outside or even from the state.
Dnipro's own Jewish community, for example, supported the Dnipro 1 and Dnipro 2 batallions that held back the might of the Russian army for 18 months, until they became part of Ukraine's army.
Yet outsiders (including so-called experts) became obsessed with Ruschist Disinfolklore generated mythical far-right spectres that conjured into being non-existent Nazis in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russian Nazi'ism concealed itself and was wined and dined in every chancellery in Europe.
G7 and NATO and EU leaders resisted arming Ukraine and treating Ukraine with the parity of esteem it deserved.
Why give misogynistic totalitarian slave societies like Saudi Arabia F-35s and ATACMs and not Ukraine?!
Had foreign policy "experts" been able to see through Ruschist Disinfolklore about "separatism" and "far right" bogeymen, they might understand how much Ukraine achieved militarily without ANY help.
Forcing Russia to sign Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 was a huge achievement by Ukraine's volunteer battalions which sprung up from nothing in February 2014.
Less of the self-congratulations is needed today. ATACMs, ammo, and fighter jets is what's required instead.
