That's sad to hear. Well, alternatively, when conditions like these get in the way malicious compliance tends to be the answer. Let them go, but they shouldn't be surprised that the people don't welcome them and make them feel as unwanted as possible.
All this while we (allies) start paving the long, bureocratic and legal way to defend ourselves, by rethinking and adjusting these same accords and treaties that prove themselves to be liabilities in these circumstances. They're there to protect stability and balance, after all, not to excuse bullies wanting to impose themselves on other nations.
I mean, this is on brand for them.
And I want to believe there's some mega 4D chess move going on, involving deliberately leaking false plans to mess with the enemy. But then I remember these are self-righteous buffoons who believe themselves above the world and have the hubris to match it. 🤏🧠
