Can't wait for the "Ukraine good, Putin evil" crowd to switch their narrative consensus to "we were against the war from the beginning".

Why would they do that? Most American liberals don't even genuinely feel they should not have invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. They just feel they kinda "bungled" the whole process.

Eh, even the "we totally opposed the war in Iraq, you guise" crowd still piles shit on Saddam. Best bet it would be similar. "OH we are totally against US interventions and we agree USA isn't perfect and all, but don't you agree Putin is evil"

Why wouldn’t they think Putin is evil? The news tells them that Putin is trying to murder his political opponents (Navalny)

That is exactly my point. And this will be used as a way to weasel out of any responsibility

Just "authoritarian traits" sounds like a total understatement.

"Authoritarian" really has no meaning anymore.

Fascist does though. He's fascist.

It took a Swiss intelligence report?

Took them long enough, Zelensky's been arresting opposition and banning strikes since the beginning. Now that he's suspended elections it's become even clearer that Ukraine is a fascist state.

uh... were you supposed to have a news article for us to look at?

What? The man who banned all left wing parties in his country? No way!

Do you think he’ll be assassinated like Ngo Dinh Diem?

Probably, CIA might kill him to create a martyr to stoke westerners war fervor and prolong the war. Also he would be super convenient scapegoat after war and those tend to be first unalived so they cannot defend.

Or he might be killed by Svoboda et consortes for various reasons.
