Anatol is an appeaser. He’s been saying Ukraine should give up the Donbas and Crimea, pledge neutrality, and be a sitting duck for future Russian aggression since Feb/March!

It’s embarrassing that these two are given an uncontested platform by Mehdi that they are re this catastrophic war, but that’s where we’re at. And the tunnel vision and propaganda roll on…

Wow, looks like he’s come a long way since “Against Russophobia.” I remember writing a paper criticizing that take when I took RUSST-100 back in college.
The west made the mistake, cuz they knew they had refused to supply the Ukrainian what they needed to fight. And they still persist in the strategy.
