As an employee of a neutral newspaper Washington Post, I would just like to loudly say that WE ARE PROFITING FROM THIS WAR, THAT IS WHY THIS WAR IS GOOD.

“Germany has weaned itself from dependence on Russian energy and, in many ways, rediscovered its sense of values”
Jesus Christ in light of what we know about Nordstream this is Mafia shit
(other than for the Ukrainians)
Literally ghouls
The Lovecraftian kind, not the Fallout kind
The Ukrainian deaths are a parenthetical to these people. And they call us the fascists.

Aww, the Lovecraft Ghouls are (mostly) just our misunderstood corpse eating relatives. They don't wanna bother us unripened fruits, and actually killing us is heresy.
(but I'm probably mixing in a lot of Delta Green's Mythos lore here)

You think the slavi ukrani people will read this and maybe figure out they're being duped or do you think they would just scold WaPo for being too cynical about the brave troops?
Nah, the vast majority of them already believe what WaPo believes, they just don't want to appear rude by saying it out loud. If they cared about Ukrainians, they would be mad at NATO for killing the Ukraine-Russia deal that was made very early into the war and where Ukraine would not lose any territory, but would only have to promise not to ever join NATO.

yelling the quiet part from the rooftops
Like when they call workers Human Capital.
Germany has weaned itself from its dependence on Russian energy
you mean they had their energy infrastructure bombed because they bought from the wrong supplier
And so they shut down nuclear plants and fired up giant steam punk leviathans to eat wind farms and shit out coal.
It's crazy cuz even most libs at this point end up defaulting to "yea we know it's a proxy war and that's a good thing".
hey fellas is it a good look if we just handwave away all the people thrown into a metaphorical woodchipper or should I contrive the flimsiest facade of human decency, asking ~~for a friend~~ on behalf of a heartless sociopath of a journalist to whom the question will never occur
I remember a couple years back reading a post from some liberal talking about how "Cold War Russia was just an empire and if it actually went to war with NATO, it would've just used the other Warsaw Pact members as cannon fodder"
All projection all the time
Actually you're a tankie if you mention that NATO is feeding every Ukrainian into a blender for its own ends.
I was gonna say love how were the bad guys, according to people with a subscription to the paper talking about how great of an investment that giant pile of Ukrainian bodies is.
