    Jeet Heer Retweeted Michael Brendan Dougherty

    This tweet is sparking an interesting debate about Russian war aims and to what extent, if any, they have been scaled back. I think though that local aims of war can't be separated from Russia's larger standing in world.https://twitter.com/michaelbd/status/1508828148649058305 …

    Are people really going with this line? Russia has lost and so will have to settle for obtaining the fake war aims it announced, rather than the real ones we know, via private revelation, that they truly sought.

        Jeet Heer Retweeted Dmitri Alperovitch

        This list is Putin's narrow war aims and you can plausibly argue it's still in play. But what does it mean to gain these and have Russia ever more isolated & Europe re-armed?https://twitter.com/DAlperovitch/status/1497225449755263009 …

        Putin articulated his ultimatums for Kyiv: - Recognize Crimea as Russian - Rejection of NATO accession - No weapons supplies from the West - LNR and DNR gain territory that the regions had pre 2014 Last one particularly interesting: suggests he intends to keep DNR/LNR around

        People like MBD and Greenwald are mad that people are saying Russia is losing. For MBD it's just reflexive opposition to NATO, US Intelligence and Western liberalism. For Greenwald, it's straight up defending Putin's honor.

        I think it’s gonna take a hundred years for Russia to get past this. Ukrainians will hate It forever. The world will not do business with it. No one will travel to it. And no one - no one - will ever trust it.

        @michaelbd You don't see the absurdity of claiming that Russia sacrificed countless soldiers' lives & untold war materiale in a campaign unnecessary for the announced war aims? Is ur estimation of ur readers' intelligence as low as Putin's estimation of his subjects' intelligence

        In terms of negotiating a cease fire agreement, it’s totally irrelevant.

        If anything if this narrative leads to a more favorable agreement the Ukraine negotiators probably should just nod along

        The "private revelation" sneer is a smarmy way of dismissing a bunch of interpretations unheard. But is it also a Catholic swipe at Protestants? Always good to keep the old grudges on the boil, I guess.
