    One bit is weird though. The general claimed there was no way to stop it, however they did carry a satellite phone. I think it’s a bit of an excuse to keep Zelenskys hands clean in the matter.

      oh 100%. Him appointing the general to act as a diplomat, which provided him with immunity from prosecution, was a nod to the effectiveness of the plan. You can tell that Zelensky was like “oh yeah, SURE I’ll put a stop to that plan that will financially cripple the country invading mine. [puts hand over the phone, yelling to no one] Hey guys would you pretty please not blow up putins cash cow? ok? ok. [takes hand off phone] See, I’ve done all I can do.”
