Yeah, America is going to dump the situation on the EU. And it doesn’t matter if they’re not ‘backing down on Ukraine needing to give up any of its territory.’ There are already places using the ruble and issuing passports, they’re only going to continue to lose more.

The media is critical because it shapes the perspectives in the US and EU and people still seem to think this is winnable or going well or about to change for the better. They’re keeping a false hope alive but will then stop talking about it and hope we all forget.
