Yeah, I think that's exactly the angle they're gonna go with.
That and "Ukraine actually won, because Putin didn't achieve his goal of conquering the whole Ukraine and genociding all Ukrainians, as he had planned to do." Because we all know Putin controls a country of 140 million people using his mind powers, but he's also sick and about to die from cancer.
There has to be cognitive dissonance. I really do believe the liberal media keeps people in a state of cognitive dissonance on purpose to prevent them from reasoning. And I don't believe for a second that the liberal pundits and politicians actually believe what they are saying. They wouldn't be where they are if they were that dumb.
Indeed, setting arbitrary goals for Russia and then saying Russia didn't achieve them has been a really effective cope. My fav part is that when you ask people to point where Russia set these goals they tell you that you can't trust what Russia says because they're lying. 🙃
Haha yes. Meanwhile Zelenskyy said victory for Ukraine is taking back Crimea, but they will keep changing the victory conditions.
That's what liberals do, they try to control the narrative to try to control reality, because they are idealists. I'm glad to see most of the world rejecting their narrative, such as African countries. Then the liberals cry how the Chinese and Russians are "bribing" the Africans by building hospitals, schools and infrastructure. Yet they didn't think of "bribing" African countries the same way, but continued trying to exploit them.
yup
