He's not strictly wrong. They're caught between Kushner/Witkoff debt leveraged annexation and Putin's military occupation. Absolute dogshit position to find yourselves. But it isn't exactly a compelling argument for surrender.

Of course, "Putin said it, so it must not be true" is the stock response from the NAFO crowd. But then these were the same folks who said Ukrainians would march triumphantly through Moscow by the time the war was over.

No clue why you're not on the ml tankie sub but... Moscow is burning right now. Ukraine is absolutely fucking russia body for body. Russia is done and is a corpse, it just doesn't know it yet. Thankfully Ukraine said they're not going to hold back any longer about attacking russian soil and has absolutely shown the world their capabilities. You tankies just don't want to see it.
