No, this has aged well. If anything western narratives have changed to paint him as a hero. Putin is a megalomaniac corrupt dictator. There is no point fighting him. Zelensky could concede the four points and end the war but he chose to force all men to fight for him.

Either he is power hungry or US is forcing him to cling on to his title. Today he suspended all left and socialist parties including the party that got the second highest votes https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2022/3/21/why-did-ukraine...

Also keep in mind that Medvedchuk got more votes than him but Zelensky had him arrested.

Same feces as Russia just a different orifice.

Lots of new accounts with lots of opinions lately..

I mean a person getting raped can also stop the rape by convincing themselves that the act is consensual, right?

There's every point in fighting him. Capitulation and submission are never appealing propositions.

> Zelensky could concede the four points and end the war but he chose to force all men to fight for him.

Putin could end the war but he chose to send conscripts to fight for him.
