Once again westoid freedom fighters doing job for Russian propaganda
In the current NATO summit they said basically that Ukraine will be admitted to NATO after war. I do belive it was absolutely purposeful thing to said because it basically blocks all possibility of peace without either complete annexation or at least far going regime and administration purge in Ukraine by Russia.
And Zelensky was furious at this. This will probably radicalize the less cynical ukronazis and however that war will end, they will then move unobstructed into the west with a massive knife in the back grudge.
“Russia is provoked by weakness and deterred by strength”
translates to:
“Russia is provoked when we don’t provoke them, and is not provoked when we provoke them”
These people are mental.
Russia is provoked by weakness and deterred by strength
This appears to be a disturbingly common idea in the west. And I would argue it translates a little bit different. It translates into a notion that we are barbarians. Think about it, what comes to mind when you hear “They only respect strength”? Some type of Hollywood-esque brain-dead loudmouth barbarian, who only knows violence, bullies the weak and only backs down against superior might (usually that of the designated protagonist). That is the perception they have.
And of course it is largely projection.
