I really want to know if people here actually believed Ukraine could win this. I’ve been posting this question for a while now. If you do, you either lack information or lack ability to evaluate. If you don’t, and keep promoting it, you are dishonest.
So the options are ignorant, stupid or liar.
They did yeah; there's plenty of propaganda from MSM, thinktanks and pro-war youtube and social media to make them think so.
When the war started, I posted a video of Obama administration Blinken circa 2015 or whatever stating it plainly: if Russia invaded Ukraine, we would fund their defense, but Russian victory would be a foregone conclusion.
