Anyone surprised has not been paying attention. This is the same regime that announced years ago it wanted Ukraine to be a "big Israel", aka a radicalized, fascistic, permanently militarized and completely propagandized society in a state of constant war and engaged in a project of ethnic cleansing while receiving unlimited financial and military support from the US and Europe. Unfortunately for them, the US never had any intention of giving them that same special treatment and never will.

It's shocking how many people outside of our bubble are not paying attention

Because Libs, dems and their socdems colleges hitched themselves on Ukraine bandwagon and made Russia the new mccarthyism. Cultural institutions associated with the soft left and further right can’t let it go because they need Russia to be the bad guy to further militarize and ally with fascism.

Bro is not shocking, it is by design who are the big watchdogs of information foow in the western and colonized countries? The big tech companies. That and traditional media is always bought up by foreign or local bourgeois interests

The US can't even replace the stockpile of Patriot missiles let alone create another Israel in the biggest country in Eastern Europe (apart from Russia)

A lot of Ukrainians still cling to the delusion that the US has unlimited capabilities and all they need to do is somehow engineer a situation where they can convince the US to come to their rescue. Just like many neocons were convinced that if they managed to get the US to go to war with Iran it would be quickly defeated and the Islamic Republic toppled.
