“Every single (Ukrainian) I’ve talked to has said they blame Zelensky (ie the west).
Ironically, I place far more blame on the Neocons, as Zelensky, at the beginning of the war, had a peace deal with Russia all set to be signed and end the fighting. I think what transpired was the following:
1. Russia makes peace overture to Zelensky, and the Neocons give him permission to talk, due to the Neocons being CONVINCED (due to their stupidity) that the war was a simple Land Grab by Russia, and therefore no agreement would be reached.
2. Russia and Ukraine agree due to Russia being willing to settle WITHOUT any territorial concessions (Ukraine keeps all of Donbass, Crimea is worked in the future), and it’s ALARMS SOUNDING in the West, so Boris Johnson goes to Kiev and orders Zelensky to rip up the deal. And he had no choice, as our Nazi-Brownshirts (the Azovs) makes sure that Zelensky follows our directives.
3. Since then, he stays alive by doing as told by the Neocons - that simple.
Hence the brackets, but yes. The west had goaded and pushed this and zelensky has played right along.
It’s insane how many people on this site want to get them all killed. I can’t get my head around that. Defies ethics and logic.
