Seriously. Buying into western rhetoric is one of the stupidest things non-member nations can do.
They don't realize that westerners only look out for their own interests. If you're not part of their "in-group" then they will only use you for their gain.
Even if you are in the 'in-group' you still risk getting shanked if it so suits the big boys. it's still the world of geopolitics anyway, there are no permanent allies or enemies between states, only interests. Even now US dumps the whole Russia-Ukraine stuff on Europe despite them being the major contributor/co-conspirators to the project. EU is also too stubborn or in too deep to get out of dodge, but still.
Four senior members of Donald Trump’s entourage have held secret discussions with some of Kyiv’s top political opponents to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, just as Washington aligns with Moscow in seeking to lever the Ukrainian president out of his job.
Hey, if you take a realist position this war in the west, you are either a russian, a russian asset or a victim of russian propaganda. Any anti-war or Anti-Zelensky force in Ukraine is by these people's definition most definitely a Russian asset.
Poroshenko who's on record publicly speaking about his genocidal intent behind the bombing of ethnic Russians in Donbas, "may or may not" be working for Russia.
Fucking libs I stg, every bit as racist as conservatives and hardly any brighter.
For fucking real. I mean, it is Politico, they're owned by a POS (at least they were last September):
💲 Business Insider & Politico
◾ Owned by Axel Springer SE
In 2021 it was acquired for reportedly over 1 billion USD by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company. Axel Springer is Europe's largest newspaper publisher and had previously acquired Business Insider. Unlike employees of its German newspapers, the employees of Politico do not have to sign Axel Springer's mission statement that expresses support for Israel and America's and Europe's transatlantic alliance.
He is the CEO and 22% owner of media group Axel Springer SE. From 2016 to 2022 he was president of the Federal Association of Digital Publishers and Newspaper Publishers (BDZV).
In 2020, Friede Springer appointed Mathias Döpfner as her successor through a combination of gifting, selling, and transferring voting rights associated with her shares in the company. As part of this transition, Springer sold a 4.1% share directly to Döpfner and gifted him an additional 15%, thereby increasing his direct ownership to 22%. Furthermore, Springer transferred to Döpfner the voting rights for her remaining 22% stake in the company.
In February 2023 The Economist reported on Döpfner's plans to expand the Springer group's media presence in the United States.
I saw news on this yesterday- pretty sure all of Zelenskyy's political opponents unanimously made public statements saying they would not have an election before the end of the war.
Once again libs will be taken by surprise when tHe tAnKiEs turn out to be right and Zelensky either gets with the program or gets acquainted with the wall.
