More warhawking from Dev... How does prolonging a costly war make Europe better than MAGA?
He's not capable of assessing the war properly.
I don't think that he can separate the desire to help Ukraine win from the ability to actually make them win.
To him, anything that isn't an attempt to help Ukraine win is a betrayal of Ukraine and an abandonment of a totally-winnable war.
There's this weird, retarded gray area that all sorts of progressives / institutionalists / neolibs / neocons have been aiming for during this war, where they think that we can give Ukraine enough support to make them somehow beat Russia, but not so much support that we freak out Russia and start World War 3.
Dev, like the rest of these people (which includes most European heads of state right now) doesn't get that this is a Venn diagram where the circles don't overlap. You can't thread this needle. The Russians have enough nukes to end the world, we don't have the power to wipe them out before they could launch if they felt pressed to, and if they do start getting pushed back, then the Russians will just view the Ukraine war as even more dire than they already did. They will never agree to just meekly accept defeat in what they view as an existential war.
Any amount of support (were it even feasible to provide, or possible to manufacture in time) that would be enough to beat Russia would also be enough to cause a world war.
But Dev doesn't get that, so we're all just pussies and traitors for not backing Ukraine to the hilt and cheering them on as they lead an entire generation of their own youth to slaughter.
Also,
Dev: [the G. W. Bush administration was better than MAGA.]
twitter anon: Spoken like a true imperialist.
Dev: Yes. [gigachad face]
I find it vile on a level that Dev could never understand that he wants to be an "imperialist" with
someone else's empire.
He wants to direct how that empire behaves, and get credit for being virtuous for having the right opinions about it, and get credit for being based for that empire shaping the world in the "right" way, when it's NOT EVEN HIS FUCKING EMPIRE.
It's not his or his people's money and resources and population and future that's being put at stake. But he still wants
us to do what he wants.
Dev is, spiritually, a drunk girlfriend at a bar, picking fights and expecting her boyfriend to come fight them for her.
