On January 19th, TIME magazine published an astonishing article, amply confirming what dissident, anti-war academics, activists, journalists, and researchers have long argued. The US always intended to abandon Ukraine after setting up the country for a proxy war with Russia, and never had any desire or intention to assist Kiev in defeating Moscow in the conflict, let alone achieving its maximalist aims of regaining Crimea and restoring the country’s 1991 borders. To have a major mainstream outlet finally corroborate this indubitable reality is a seismic development.

Could be completely anecdotal, but browsing the Wikipedia day-by-day timeline of the war I've noticed an increase of "SBU arrested Ukrainians was arrested for treason/corruption" events, which seems like a really dire indicator.

I wonder if Zelensky will get thrown under the bus or if he'll manage to find a scapegoat who "stole trillions" who will conveniently die or disappear and be unable to defend himself.
