Even if you know you’re going to lose a match you still show up to play. Zelensky is playing the game that’s politics and yeah I bet he knows how trump doesn’t give a fuck or care besides the last compliment he received but Trump gets to say yes or no especially to the arms deal was “talked about” for 100 billion so Us gets money and Ukraine gets “NATO 5 security protections” how ever doubtful is going to happen he has to play or at least be there to listen to the and be able to use his for voice for his country’s survival. I get and understand your view and frustrations as from well and if we can see it here “arm chairing” the situation from here I’m sure it’s plenty palatable on what the situation is there on the “ground floor” . Look how levity acted right after the meeting with Putin and everyone reaction who attended meeting after, there faces and tone said it all the US is capitulating to Russia over allies and Ukraine and from the look of things that’s probably not going to change with the tan mango or US foreign policy as brine soon. Hope you don’t take this as me disagreeing with your perspective because if you’re not frustrated and upset you’re not paying attention. I want Ukraine to win and the clock is running on time and support as more countries still move towards the far right with elections results and the US isn’t helping things in that sphere either… sorry about the ramble and long reply and hope you took my reply as a different view on the same situation but hey I’m just a very concerned person with the state of the world right now same as you where our sphere of conserve is global but our influence is very minuscule in comparison. Do what you can from the bottom up locally/politically if you’re able too and that’s going to be on what you consider possible and safe for your own self and loved ones. Shit has been scary and continues too get worse by the day hour it seems at the end of the day we each have to decide our own level of involvement for whatever reason that may be (I’m not trying to hate on any one who cannot voice their opinion because it might put them in danger of being kidnapped by ICE in the US or reprisals that may get you fired or black balled in your work or industry but if you can work either in the shadows or your in a privileged position or class please use your voice for those who cannot or have already been silenced)
