They are really opening up the floodgate on Ukrainian-doom reporting. What a time to be alive! and what a change of tune from just a few months ago!

Yeah, I noticed libs got notably more quite after the failed summer counteroffensive and have slowly been becoming more doomeristic since then. Like, before that a lot of them genuinely believed that Leopards/Abrams etc. were impervious machines that could survive indirect nuke hits and that Russia totally was done for. I also don't think any of them anticipated that Russia and it's tiny nominal GDP would be able produce more ammunition then NATO in it's entirety.

Unfortunely, it is used to push for further militarization.
