The undersigned has certain limitations on weekends as mentioned earlier, so here comes a oneliner to open the comment field and then IT will later fill in with today&#8217;s dead Russians in this epic list exclusively posted here in the comment field first in the world, impossible to read anywhere else. Did you survive the Friday hangover, by the way? Here comes another pitcher of homemade sangria with passion fruit to the coffee table that disappeared very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump, Kursk, and the air going out of the EU dampen the mood a bit, and we have countless times seen Ukraine rev up, achieve results, only to back down again when the West deliberately sabotages for them, so the risk is not exactly small that we will see it again, and it&#8217;s five minutes to midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, what we are currently reading from UA is a bit rebellious, which makes the likelihood much higher that UA will not miss the opportunity this time. I don&#8217;t know how many more times we can go through this loop, actually, and since this is the real world, we will only know after it&#8217;s gone too far, right? Risk management is about identifying the risk and then mitigating it, and if you ask me, we in the West accept far too high a risk in this war. Moreover, now everyone knows that the worst that can happen is not that there will be a bad peace for Ukraine, which our leaders thought was the case up until sometime last autumn. Trump&#8217;s talk of peace is not credible, as everyone has understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a heads up for upcoming posts from a person in Ukraine &#8211; right now, I&#8217;m trying to understand how it felt\/went at the beginning of the war because we MIGHT have to get used to the idea that we ourselves will be in that position soon. Who better to ask than someone who left their family to defend their country and still does so three years later. If anyone has questions, feel free to post in the thread. Regardless of whether it happens or not, it&#8217;s something we must plan for and start discussing as a country because if you want peace, you prepare for war, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today apparently IT has other things to do, trying to have fun.
