   A good thread on Russians now understanding that defeat is inevitable.

   Particularly amusing:
   “Instead of trying to figure out what part of Ukraine will be enough for Putin (my answer is always Dresden), …”

   PS I am not so impressed with all the author’s writing, he seems to think that Ukraine is a brother nation!

     @chowderman What makes you assume that Greg Yudin (a leftist anti-nationalist) would reason in terms of "brother nations"? That sounds a bit far-fetched.

     I haven’t seen him use the precise term, but that is how I would paraphrase the last paragraph of the article linked below.

     As for him being a leftist anti-nationalist - umm. He has his Russian biases, where Estern Europe has no agency.
