My official motto for the next four years: Freaking Out Is Not a Strategy.

Looks like I am going to betray it every single day.

4 years?
was Nazi Germany holding elections every 4 years?

My thinking exactly.

saschavykos.bsky.social•4 days ago

That's how I feel about my uncontainable levels of rage.

yeah. this reality shows (in a v. painful way) the difference between knowing that something will happen, understanding why something will happen and experiencing it happening.

Will we see Trump demanding to reinstall Yanukovich?

kevinlikesmaps.bsky.social•4 days ago

I had not considered that specific possibility, but I'm sure Trump and Putin have someone in mind.

kormych.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trump is simply unaware of Yanukovych's existence yet.

kevinlikesmaps.bsky.social•4 days ago

I cannot see Yanukovych lasting more than 24 hours in Ukraine. There are too many people with guns. What are the russians going to do, attack you?

The impression I have is that the trump team are just idiots and looking for an excuse to stop supporting UA, and the R side isn't thinking about it all that much either yet because the ceasefire "terms" are not designed to be accepted, but to be impossible

kevinlikesmaps.bsky.social•4 days ago

yeah, Trump et al have no plan. But Putin does.

pwnallthethings.bsky.social•4 days ago

Iow all of this is really more about stage-managing a US exit, and to the extent R can, driving wedges through the alliance, rather than about achieving anything political in UA

Would you like company? Not sure whether freaking out collectively would change anything, but at least we won’t be lonely.

francish.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s going to be a flashmob. And not a small one

efinkel.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yep. Though I would rather have us do strategy collectively, at least during short breaks from freaking out

👍
Keeping focus on effective steps that shut down or at least impede those involved in the coup is important

Same. I was NOT going to do this term as I did the last DT term. I don’t want to lose another 4-5 years of my life to this!
