The defenders of Avostal held off the Russians for 2.5 months single-handedly, saved a lot of civilians, and diverted Russian military power from other key battles—enabling victories elsewhere. I don’t know where the “nevertheless” comes in.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1526761705161760768 …

It comes from leftist dipshits speaking contrarianism to power. He's staking the most anti-Zelensky position he can without being canceled.

The "nevertheless" was from BHL, and my tweet aimed at him since it's such weird formulation. I think Zelensky made the right call here, for what its worth.

Maybe I misinterpreted, but it came off like you were making fun of BHL for saying that they did something heroic despite the battle ending in their negotiated capture.

Well, I do think BHL's tendency to romanticize war and insert himself in all these situations is ridiculous.

BHL’s a doofus, but he’s right in this time. They should be treated with dignity and exchanged. And they should be honored for what they did, it was astonishing.

unfortunately I have an awful feeling that Russia is going to reneg on their offer of a trade and we are likely to see some show trials very soon

I have that feeling as well, which is another reason the BHL tweet set me off.
