The prospect of a failed counter-offensive and significant territorial concessions would only embolden Russia and China

    Interesting how quickly these articles have started popping up. Not even a week ago they were all “Ukraine’s super duper successful counteroffensive is about to win the war! They’ll be in Moscow by Tuesday!”

    I wonder if the libs will get whiplash from this. Hopefully it makes them actually analyse things a bit more closely so they don’t get so easily fooled. Though who am I kidding? They’ll just declare that they knew this all along and pretend they never supported Ukraine.

      It’s absolutely an intentional metered roll out to ease the public into it. I give it two years max before they start writing about fascist elements in Ukraine (again) and wringing their hands over “nobody could have seen this coming”. Minus all of us who saw it coming.

      Once they got people used to that, they can just scapegoat Ukraine for everything else too. They already did for the nordstream bombing.

      Considering this has happened a dozen times by now, no they won’t analyze things a bit more closely.
