Even more embarrassing that we enforce red lines on ourselves whilst Russia for the past year have been saying publicly that we're doing those redlines anyway, thus showing that they aren't in fact redlines, what's Russia going to do when it's broken? "Oh, those months we said NATO did this? Yeah we were bullshitting and lying point blank to your faces, but NOW we're not lying and it's totally a redline to us" |
Indeed, it's ridiculous. Especially because the same countries are fine with Israel's right to defend itself extending to commit acts of genocide, but Ukraine apparently does not have any proper right for self-defense.
It looks like Scholz's SPD line of reasoning for prohibiting the use of Western weapons on Russian territory is that Ukraine may accidentally hit a civilian target and the kind of discussions such a hypothetical event may trigger. Meanwhile, Russia has hit plenty of Russian civilians already, on top of countless deliberate attacks on Ukrainian civilians.
As usual, the strategy of escalation management has failed again, hence the current situation in the northeast of Ukraine. But you know, next time this strategy is going to work, I can totally sniff the success of it.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
