In our cynical world it is time to grow up

Right now, we're watching their last desperate scramble to grab as much foreign land as possible, aiming to negotiate from a stronger position.

Once again, we do not miss the opportunity to miss the opportunity.

Despite unprecedented Western support in 2022–23, we’ve failed to reform our government system, reboot the economy, kick-start our military-industrial base, or put the most capable leaders in charge.

An attempt to shift responsibility to the West is doomed to failure and indifference of the West itself.

The world’s a cynical place — it’s time to grow up.

The Butterfly Effect — a casual vote cast "for fun" can lead to devastating consequences, and we’re now living in that reality.

And knowing that accountability will eventually catch up doesn’t exactly bring comfort, especially when the country lies in ruins.
