        realpolitik

        My god. It seems no one understands the word. (“Political capital” is another one people miss.)

        Ukraine needs Western support and arms -> Israel gets Western support and arms -> you see where I’m going with this.

        Zelensky would be a fool to do anything differently. His personal opinions, nor ours, have no play here.

        Yeah. realistically Isreal could offer Ukraine a lot more in help than Palestine. The sad reality, gotta kneel before the rich and kinda ignore what they do the poor if you want something. And Zelensky certainly wants some things.
