I don't want to discuss the vibe there but I just saw something happen there that I don't think I can unsee.

I'm gonna be more active here - coming back all like:

Had I been cis I would probably feel the same way about different stuff. I would've probably matured to believe the body I have is worth cherishing regardless — as I probably will.

Not tonight though. Tonight I'm feeling really sad and defeated.

Neither Ukraine nor Europe's broader institutions were suffering from trust crises that weren't endogenous already. These fractures were exploited, not created, by Russia.

I think what Europe can and should do is reform dramatically — because in its current conditons it's incapable of responding.

There are other ways to get involved, asides the shipping of weaponry. Closing the back channels to Russian sanctions is one.

There is no "free world" to speak of, nor free states, in the world system. There's capitalism — and dictatorships and liberal democracies that have found compatibility through it.

Russia is not going to destroy Europe. It can't — and it would also destroy itself in the process.

I am oblivious and choose not to use one but my transphobic mother stares at me the way I wouldn't like a man to do LOL

Ukraine's allies could choose to end this any time, but they don't because this war is, in the end, weakening Russia. The longer the war goes the more spent and tired the Russian army becomes, which helps NATO strategic interests.

TL;DR Ukraine is being kept on life support for Western convenience.

By "winning" I mean that their maximalist strategic goal was to take over, and their compromised goal was to destroy Ukraine so it couldn't function as a NATO launchpad while securing a land bridge to Crimea.

Both options are still on the table for them. Ukraine on the other hand is being guttered.

Russia is advancing, albeit very slowly, to enormous casualties. The war has become a positional conflict of attrition with Ukraine hoping its Western equipment and defenses can outlast Russia's manpower, and Russia hoping the opposite.

Russia is winning though not by much.
