I just bust my finger writing a long, long post which I suppose most people will have sense enough not to read.

But then I went and read a post by Korybko, you know? His 'newsletter' ? To which you cannot comment unless you pay him.

And I read an interesting phrase which we've all seen again and again:

".... if Ukraine cedes territory to it...."

Talking about 'Russia'.

Listen: that's the hub of the whole thing right there.

I go barmy trying to spell it out.

How the narrative is all wrong.

The POV is all wrong.

The lexicon is all wrong.

Look: the question is about Kiev (which is what they mean when they way 'Ukraine') ceding territory TO UKRAINIANS.

Ceding territory to THE OWNERS OF THAT TERRITORY.

OK?

That's what it is about.

Pick the bones out of that.

Oleksii Arestovich is right.. ukraine picked the wrong side... they were too stupid to see this either... playing russia off usa is one thing... betting on the usa to be your savior is another and a very bad choice to have made... arestovich gets this very clearly..
