I forgot to say hi, Max! Ha. It's been a while, and I hope you're well.
Ukranians choosing to fight hasn't become murky. Russia invaded Ukraine, and Ukrainians were rightly angry, but many fled, and nationalism only lasted so long. A generation is dead, traumatized, or permanently injured. Do you think the motivation to continue the war persists?
The media's narrative speaks for Ukraine's political class, but the families and people who bear the losses might have a different view. Americans support US wars until the body bags appear, and I imagine it's not much different elsewhere.
Leaked documents stated the UK, the US, and European special forces were in Ukraine, and from my perspective, the Biden Admin insisted the war continue for as long as it takes.
I grew up in LA, the epicenter of weapon manufacturing and soft power. Angelinos elect Democrats, profess liberalism, and love ethical wars. They believe in the righteousness of US foreign policy to maintain their wage, lifestyle, and consciousness. It's a bizarre place. Lol
