I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

I’m sure you’ll just dismiss this all as Western Imperialist propaganda since it disagrees with your worldview, but:

Of course, in public, Putin was much more pragmatic.
He said it would be two weeks.

So would you prefer, “Kyiv in two weeks?” I’ll go with that. Exactly the same stupid idea.
