The US will dispose of him well before that ever happens. He has outlived his usefulness to US empire.

Actions speak louder than words, and I believe Zelenskyy would. Great example of leadership.

Something like yesterday or so General Secretary of NATO said membership for Ukraine was never proposed. So it's just empty posturing on the side of Zelensky.

"Empty posturing" is a very cynical and cruel way to frame it. What would you have Zelensky do instead? Quietly let Putin and Trump divide his country up?

It's not enough cynical and cruel for this bastard. Only a pity that the US imperialism again ruined another country and again killed a million people or so. A lot of people were warning this is how it's gonna end and lo and behold, cassandra curse again worked.

Completely meaningless given that NATO requires unanimous agreement by all the existing members. Everybody knows that this will never happen, so basically what he's saying is that he'll cling on to power.

You have to be high as hell to think Ukraine would ever be in NATO at this point. All NATO countries would have to agree to start WW3.

The whole war was about Ukraine NATO membership.

Who wants this trade? Does NATO want him gone? Who benefits?

Are we going to repost this every day now? I've seen like ten sources here covering this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I posted this 2 days ago when it was new. I posted it because someone else posted a paywalled article and this was open to all.
