You’d think more than half a century full of precedents would have made Americans suspicious of any military involvement of their country but they just end up watching some revisionist pop history youtuber and do the same song and dance again.
The fact that they keep falling for this over and over is definitely the most hilarious part. Really shows that they’re not capable of even an iota of critical thinking or self reflection.
I liked it better when all the turbo libs were contained on Reddit.
Indeed, we now have a bunch of utter imbeciles running around the fediverse.
There are Feds in the Fediverse…
lol it would be funny to train a GPT style bot to recognize those types of comments and to keep them busy
I’m imagining this thread on MeanwhileOnGrad to be honest
😄
It’s maddening engaging with them online. It literally makes me feel like I’m talking to delusional people with the inability to even be aware of their own thoughts.
Reading the comments in that thread is like stepping into a bizarro universe. I wonder what the turning point will be when these people have to start reconciling the fantasy world they built up with the real one. This was hands down my fav comment from the thread
I think that’s likely gonna be the narrative libs smoothly pivot towards ignoring everything they said for two years. Also, never mind that literally all of NATO is propping Ukraine up. It’s just a small country resisting a much larger country all on its own. When Ukraine is finally destroyed that’s actually a huge win.
Remember they say they won Vietnam because they killed more people than they lost.
Yeah, that’s basically the same kind of logic there.
I don’t know understand what they call winning a war. War is politics by other means. 2 countries or more have soldiers fight to kill each other till one side concedes to the other. If one settles and concedes to the terms of the other country, that is defeat.
That’s the reality, but western libs have become incredibly invested in the war emotionally over the past two years and internalized the idea that Ukraine is winning the war while Russia is falling apart. Having to admit that they were wrong is not a thread they want to pull on because that raises a lot of uncomfortable questions such as the fact that western media is heavily propagandized and that they themselves are gullible.
We lost, but actually we won (in our minds). 🤡
This is literally the manifestation of idealism.
This reminds me of when top Kiev officials announced that Crimea has already been liberated “in our hearts”.
I guess the job is basically done then eh? Time to declare victory. Mission accomplished boys!
Lol at the one lurker lib yet again obsessively downvoting every single comment here.
they follow me around like lost puppies on lemmy.ml 🤣
Well, they keep trying to imagine that Russia is deploying it’s full military force against Ukraine, denying that it’s a limited SMO. They use the deployment of aging equipment as evidence that Russia is using everything they have and running out instead of as evidence that Russia is still able to meet it’s objectives with a limited use of its worst equipment.
Absolutely, the whole narrative is built on the idea that Russia is falling apart and can barely keep things together. People internalized it over the past two years, and just regurgitate these tropes now. What’s striking to me is how fluidly they’re able to abandon narratives that have run their course without any reflection.
First, Russian economy was supposed to collapse within weeks. Then Russia was supposed to run out of shell, missiles, and manpower so the military conflict was going to be over quickly. Obviously none of these things actually happened, yet nobody asked why all these projections were wrong and what the implications of that are.
We still see libs dismiss any articles admitting the reality as Russian propaganda, even when these articles come from rabidly pro Ukrainian mainstream media in the west.
The sheer capacity people have for denying reality is really incredible.
They think some harm to Russian economy = collapse of Russian economy just because the US and EU economies are so fragile it would mean that
Exactly, they imagined that Russia worked more or less the way the west does which led to a monumental miscalculation in policy. This war will be taught in history books as the catalyst for the collapse of the burger empire.
