After the fiasco in Afghanistan, I can see how intelligence agencies could become cynical about the commitment of local populations to fight for their own freedom.
However, we discovered that the people of Ukraine were not cowards like the people of Afghanistan
holy shit holy shit someone should drop this fucker in a warzone
Neither were cowards, both corrupt war machines started to break down when the flow of US money dried up. It has nothing to do with individual bravery, everything to do with a puppet state being cut off after it proved insufficient for our needs
the taliban offensive lasted 3 months and the result was the complete control of afghanistan and the seizing of billions of dollars worth of american equipment by the taliban
we’re over 6 months into the hyped ukrainian counteroffensive and all they have to show for it is some miniscule dots on a map and huge casualties on their side
Pretty sure it makes very little difference for the average Ukrainian whether wholesome100 Cpt Zelenskyy or evil Putler is in charge of their government. Russians are not any less “free” than Ukrainians, if anything, their freedoms are limited by Western sanctions and being banned from participating in international competitions.
Wow this rivals “an outbreak of gratitude among the Iraqi people” as one of the things someone can say to get themselves Disney fastpassed instantly to the front of the wall line
I love how they conveniently ignore there has been mass emigration of Ukrainians to the rest of Europe (and I’m not blaming them to be clear, it’s a war, I probably would too).
Hell, a German MP recently said there are around 200k able Ukrainian men (as in able to fight) in Germany and they need to fuck back off to Ukraine and fight (apparently, Europe and the West in general has decided to fight to the last Ukrainian, Ukrainians’ opinion about the whole thing be damned).

These motherfuckers need materialism
These are the people who call themselves the adults in the room and say you’re only left-wing because you don’t have enough life experience.

I’m bad a geopolitics, someone help me out with which side had popular support in these conflicts??
Do they still hold any of the dots that were Russian controlled 6 months ago? They wont in another 6 months.
“Freedom” once again just means “Western rule”.

Freedom for Donetsk and Luhansk, right?
…right?
They’d probably die after their nearest Supermarket closed down and they could no longer use their phone or computer.
Cowardice is when you don’t get down and grovel for your American masters

Jesus christ
or just like a big hole in the ground
I don’t know how you could look at the modern history of Afghanistan and not think that Afghan people are brave to the point of insanity.
