@anneapplebaum the tone of doubt, skepticism, the media express is so disheartening and this time I’m just getting angry about it. They are on repeat, questioning the slow progress of the Ukrainian offensive. Yeah it’s slow, there are mines everywhere. This bullshit plays right into Putin’s hands. It’s exactly what Putin is waiting for. That the West gets tired of it all and aid just peters out so Putin can walk right in and take what he wants. And the voices in the microphones are paving the way for him.
