Yeah, maybe they had a discussion with our realists like Milley, and afterwords Milley told Zelenskyy the generals were traitors, and not thoroughly convinced white rage was a bigger threat than Russia.
Anything is possible in this arena. But Zelenski is the boss and when he says jump, they jump. I’m sure this kind of thing is quite common when things are going south. I’m pulling for the Ukraine by the way. Tough uphill slog though.
