There’s obviously something else big going on under the surface that the elites are going so apeshit and sure isn’t that they give a fuck about the Ukrainian people.
Anything but talking about NATO buildup in the Ukraine and how this is basically a Russian Cuban Missile Crisis.
The "heroic" Ukrainian President had every opportunity to declare neutrality but he probably reasoned that a NATO relationship would protect Ukraine from Russian aggression. Reasoned wrong. Caused Russian aggression. Just like always, we leave our client states twisting in the breeze. It was a tough razor's edge for him to tread, admittedly, but that was his job and he failed.
Now he's trying to inspire a citizen army. According to our press, this means Russia is losing. That Russia, in a matter of days, owns the sky, all the armor, all the artillery, every inch of ground they traversed and are now entering the capital without facing any organized resistance... none of this indicates overwhelming superiority according to our media.
Ukraine's military, who I guess still exist somewhere, needing untrained civilian riflemen with homemade molotovs with a 150 foot range means that Putin's invasion is destined for defeat.
Our news is in la-la land.
This futile effort has the added bonus of making every civilian a potential combatant in the eyes of Russian forces.
