People are mocking this old headline without understanding that it was absolutely correct:
Zelensky won 74% of the vote in 2019 because he was extremely pro-Russian. He’s not ethnically Ukrainian and not a Ukrainian nationalist. He was a Russian lackey who made his money by mocking Ukrainians for the entertainment of Russian audiences. This is why he was elected. Voters wanted him to make nice with Russia. And he did. He all but crawled on his stomach to please Putin. Which is why I hated him back then.
But it didn’t work. Russia’s war is 100% internally motivated. You can’t do anything from the outside to stop it. That there are literally zero people in the US capable of explaining this to the public is very disturbing. Imagine how many other issues there are where we are being misled by morons.
Most people’s brains can’t tolerate complexity and they seek jingles and stock phrases to believe the pressure of complexity against their untrained, weak neural connection.

I wonder how this fits in with rumors of Netanyahu being very ill (or… worse).

Either both Netanyahu and Trump are clinical morons, or the purpose of this war is not to vanquish Iran. Because they studiously ignore every opportunity to vanquish Iran and instead ensure that the war is protracted and very painful to the US.
Neither possibility should be discounted.

“Netanyahu and Trump are clinical morons, or”
I think it might just be flop sweat… Trump is flailing and nothing he nor anyone else in the administration says makes any sense….
“ensure that the war is protracted and very painful to the US”
I think that’s a by-product… maybe the goal is to hurt China though that’s not working either, so… morons it is.
