Many debate bros on X claim that Putin has a "loser mentality" since he is so obsessed by Russian history.
Yeah, maybe in America you´re a loser if you obsess about such matters. But you know, guys, Putin isn´t running for the Libertarian Party nomination...
Revanschism isn´t a loser mentality *in Russia*. And that´s what counts. As long as Russians believe what Putin is saying is relevant, the war in Ukraine will continue. As will the Russian geopolitical expansion westwards.
Perhaps the problem here is that the debate bros expected Putin to make a campaign speech directed at the American public. Well, he didn´t. Because he really, truly doesn´t give a damn. And why should he? The war will be won or lost on the battlefields of Ukraine. And if Putin wants to influence your puny little minds, he will find other and more subtle ways to do it. For instance, by promoting American isolationism. I hear that´s a marketable commodity among libertarians, yes?
That, and a couple of computer hacks!
Oh, and another thing. What do you think the Ukrainians are fighting for? Coca Cola? Their Jewish president? Chances are, they too are just as "obsessed" with Kievan Rus as the autocrat in the Kremlin!
" Are the White boys ready to die for the gay dusco?", as E.M. Jones asked Spenser and othe Ukraine-supporting nazis in the audience.
ReplyDeleteThe debate quickly went sour from there.
