Why Can’t the West Admit That Ukraine Is Winning?
clickbait-y headline, but for me, the idea that Ukraine is winning is kind of a sadistic joke.<p>it&#x27;s the kind of thing an american liberal writer for some left-of-center mainstream rag would write.<p>i have no idea who the author is -- it doesn&#x27;t matter -- but to flippantly talk about &#x27;winning&#x27; when some signficant amount of a country&#x27;s population is dead, injured, on the run, traumatized, terrorized, starving, suffering, displaced, males of fighting age (18-60) locked in the country, separated from their families&#x2F;children, martial law, more political parties shut down, most&#x2F;all alternative press shut down, more oligarchs fleeing the country with suitcases of cash, yet more political instability, legal alcohol sales cut off with zillions of weapons going to amateurs, foreign fighters coming into your country, massive brain drain, with much of the world&#x27;s poorest just starting to feel the disastrous effects of the war, with it all bringing us much closer to ultimate climate doom -- is that &#x27;winning&#x27;?<p>if so, what is losing?<p>anyways, i&#x27;m sure that writer is winning.
