“Sono sempre alla ricerca di una buona Russia.” Dmytro Kuleba racconta di come il rifiuto di affrontare una verità evidente paralizzi l’Occidente.

Western democracies are leaning over backwards just so they can fool themselves into pretending like everything is fine and continue fighting their little internecine political squabbles over irrelevant bullshit to advance their political careers. Corporations are acting like everything is fine as well, because they don’t give a shit about anything as long as they’re making profit.

Meanwhile, Russia and every single dictatorship in the world are already fighting their last war with democracies. Starting with the concentrated social media “hybrid warfare” psy-ops that we still refuse to acknowledge and dismiss or even entertain as just a rise in batshit crazy conspiracies. When in reality, they’re all started in the Kremlin and similar places.

We are already at war. Fuck our politicians and their pet oligarchs for not understanding that.

If they want a “good” Russia, it will have to be made, not hoped for. Hope was what they did last time and that is not a plan.

So have a plan this time, for Ukrainian victory and an outcome of consequences for Russia.

Some highlights from former Minister of Foreign Affairs Kuleba’s recent interview with Kyiv Independent:

* “Well, the fundamental problem with the West… is they are always looking for a ‘good russia’. They continue to entertain the idea that it shouldn’t be too tough on russia because we need them in the future, they will be a ‘new russia’ with ‘good russian people’ and this is where all the messages about ‘it’s putin’s war, it’s not the war of the people of russia’ come from.”
* “I’ve been saying to my colleagues, even before the large-scale invasion began: you will have a completely different set of policies towards russia and Ukraine once you stop looking at Ukraine through russian eyeglasses.”
* “Every concept is built on the assumption today that ‘we will need russia’. I have a different approach, I believe that we do not need russia. I believe that russia is a highly overappreciated asset in world affairs.”
* “There are people with this underlying argument that the day will come and there will be ‘good russia’. They are completely blindfolded and don’t recognize the past… and admit that all attempts to democratize russia failed, and liberal russia exists only as dystopia.”

The only good Russia is a non-existent Russia. There is no future in which Russia will be anything other than the evil that it is.

Great interview!
