Anyone with half a brain knew this before the war started. In fact, there are several vids available where seasoned, bright, scholars and diplomats predict this exactly.
Putin made no secret of what would happen if the US kept pushing Ukraine to join NATO.
Zalensky is an idiot. He believed the US State Department and Biden.
When Putin gets these demands, the war ends. If he doesn’t, he’ll pound Ukraine until he does. And there’s nothing anyone can do about it unless they teuly wish to start WWIII.
Those are the choices. All else is BS. And yes, many of us knew this.
zelensky is apparently WEF. he just does what he is told in all of this.
