The “modern world” is too accustomed to success and the “colossal” effort by the nation to push back Russia’s invasion is not appreciated, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky told his people in his nightly address to the nation.
Many didn’t expect Ukraine to survive the Russian invasion when it came, but now it has they don’t appreciate how difficult that has been, Ukraine’s Zelensky said as part of his nightly televised address in remarks again appearing to address concerns about how long the war is lasting, and how much it is costing.
Echoing previous comments where he chastised his Western sponsors for wanting him to win the war faster, Zelensky told the camera on Tuesday night in remarks reproduced by Ukrainian state publisher Ukrinform that: “The modern world is arranged in such a way that it gets used to success too quickly.” In June, Zelensky had criticised those abroad for thinking the Ukraine war is like a war film and would be neatly wrapped up shortly.

“Ukraine official says it can’t properly use its Western kit because it has so few soldiers left, report says...”
Guess what the next “demand” will be.
“It mystifies me why any Americans would resent Ukraine for defending itself.”
I’d be fine with whatever Ukraine did if it defended itself. That’s not what it’s doing. Now Ukraine is complaining that that it has run out of Ukrainian cannon fodder. Guess what it will want next to “defend itself”.
*shrug* nobody is taking anything from Albertans if we don’t want it. Texans are tame by comparison.
In the process, the Ukrainians are wiping out a generation or two of Russian young men, that the Russians are pissing away at a record clip.
Their conscription has failed, and even using criminal prisoners has failed, a bucket that they are dipping into a second time right now.
The bottom line is that doing an Alexander Nevsky and forcing Ukraine back into “greater Russia” is a mindless, purposeless exercise, and everybody but Putin realizes it. After the Holodomor, Ukrainians hated Russians so much that they embraced the Nazis, for heaven’s sake, as the lesser of two evils.
Their idea of Nazis is basically, “anyone who will kick the Russian’s ass”. Rather different from the standard view.
In the final analysis, they are fighting for the achievable goal of chasing the Russians out of their country. And they are motivated to do so.
Ukraine RIP. All the signs are there. To the war cheerleaders, get used to it, you backed the corrupt senile Joe war, time to move on.
The Democrats are part of that world.
