"The bombings do work! The bombings are working! They know what they are doing. Just because you don't know what they're doing doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing. Of course they know what they are doing... The bombings are achieving what they are supposed to - which is to destroy Yugoslavia, to turn it into a de-industrialized, beggar-poor nation of cheap labor, completely defenseless to the interests of capital investors. This is a batterist policy! The batterer is not irrational, the batterer uses violence against his helpless spouse. He uses just a certain amount or level to get a certain response - and batters that person down and batters that person down. And that's what it is - it's a battering policy, to destroy and smash 'em down, but smash 'em and splinter them so badly that they will never rise again and never come back again even as a viable bourgeois nation, let alone socialist." -- Michael Parenti

I've posted about our country's role in this and Europe joining in wholeheartedly in the past and our country being the architect behind this (do a search of my name and the word architect), but I do apologize if I've been offensive in my wording. Our country crafts problems like this all the time and then does as you've said, blame the country they corrupted and it's people; it wasn't my intent to speak ill of the Ukrainian people, just the puppet government currently in charge, that ought to have some sense of self preservation at least despite being nazi or nazi adjacent, but of course as puppets they never would have been allowed to stop this war from starting. I just wish Zelensky would have the guts to cut the strings and try to stop his country going down this path, regardless of what consequences it would have, it doesn't help that he's also shut down oppositional parties (leftist ones).

pump cash into Nazis for decades, organise a coup, install a puppet government

You know the person you're talking to (1) opposed this and (2) had zero control over it, right?

Just have to translate it into Westoid. "War Will End in Vibes Based Non-Defeat"

The western public will look at the headline, that is the extent of their attention span, and cheer over the fact that the article must mean that Russia is surrendering.

In the interview, Zelensky said there can’t be direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia but there could be indirect negotiations through a third party.

I know that diplomacy is not exactly his background, but it should be fairly obvious to anyone that a requirement of negotiation is that you are actually willing to talk to the people you are intended to negotiate with. This is this crazy international relations theory we call "common sense".

Ehh... The article is well-written - concise and to the point, it deserves to be reposted :D.
