    Probably.

    I know it’s realpolitik but it’s still mind-blowing to me that this guy is in the middle of fighting against an aggressive occupation of Ukrainian land with elements of ethnic cleansing, and simultaneously takes every opportunity to align himself with Israel, an occupying force.

    As @[email protected] says, it’s creating real dissonance outside of the West.

      To me it’s pretty obvious that he will do whatever he needs to to keep getting supplies from the US and Israel’s allies and to be honest, what’s his alternative? Let Russia kill his whole country?

        It’s sad because he’s doing this while the US withholds supplies.

        Also, “I support genocide as long as I get something out of it” is not a good look for a nation that wants sympathy from the world.

          Every country supports horrible things if they get something out of it, that’s just unfortunately the nature of politics.

      He’s just looking out for what he cares about, like most scumbags.

      Fuck everyone else, right? Lol.

    My guy, I know that for your country to continue to exist you need to agree with everything the US does, but them starting another expensive conquest war isn’t great news for you.
