    I think we’d be seeing a situation similar to the collapsing support for Israel, where despite media manipulation there’s been a reversal against Israel and its only getting worse for them. The masses have turned against them and already several European countries have ended arms trade with Israel because the restive masses continue direct actions against the arms supply chain.

    A different world where people were as critical of Ukraine as they have become of Israel would be catastrophic to the empire.

    Maybe I’m giving the Europeans too much credit.

        Yeah, you have a point. Maybe Europeans would have supported Ukraine even if they attacked first, just because they wouldn’t have deployed Israeli-level depravity. Israel might just represent the limits of media’s ability to manufacture consent.
