I didn’t realize this war had a time limit.

What an absolute bullshit article. Fuck WSJ.

[–] Paragone@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I haven't read the article, but yes, wars do have time-limits:

Once a war becomes domestically impossible to participate in, Vietnam as 1 proof, then the-course-of-war changes.

Economic-collapse means that Biden's hosed in 2024, and the Republicans are Russian allies, not NATO allies.

Yes wars have time-limits.

Simply wait & see: by the end of 2025, NATO will be gutted, Trump will have been crowned GEOTUS ( a term they already use for him ), and Trump will ( passively, at least ) back Russia.

Sickening, but it looks like that's the fact of the unfolding global/geopolitical near-future.

You didn't realize? Now you do.

I sincerely appreciate that WSJ thinks their propaganda is so important that I'd want to pay to read it.

Sure but Russia actually winning the war also seems pretty magical imo. I mean wasn't this whole operation supposed to last about 3 days??

The OP seems to be obsessed with Russia.
