      Yeah, it almost hurts to look at. Like there’s a part of me that feels… bad for him… And it kind of pisses me off because I know he doesn’t deserve even a shred of my sympathy but there it is.

      Like he’s ever been anywhere close to a battle zone where mines would have been deployed.

        Easy, the Azov Battalion will be rebranded as terrorists to justify NATO occupation of Ukraine to stop the Nazis.

        It really is just Iraq

            And 80%+ of the Collective West’s citizens will buy it, just like they bought Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Ukraine since 2014. It hurts my sensibilities. Some of the most intelligent people I know buy this shit, every fucking time. Clearly deep knowledge in one area doesn’t matter much when it comes to spotting admittedly obvious patterns of propaganda. Sigh…

              Well yes, they lied to us about every war up to now, but THIS time they are telling the truth. Surely they wouldn’t lie 12 times in a row!

    It’s weirdly humanizing in a way. Like you just see the sad empty shell of a desperate human being. There’s nothing left outside of the character the actor portrays. He knows there’s little to no chance there exists a scenario where he gets out of this alive.

      That really sums it up, you can see he knows the gig is up. I really think the plan was to have a spectacular offensive that would cut off Crimea, and then push for NATO membership based on that. Now, he’s realizing that it’s just going to be business as usual where NATO will keep sending scraps without getting directly involved, and his regime is going to be ground down in the end.

      It’s hard to have sympathy for the guy who had the opportunity to end this all back in March last year, but instead chose the course that led to hundreds of thousands of people dying, and millions more having their lives ruined. This clown deserves what’s coming to him.
