You know I believe in Ukrainian Victory. I know it is inevitable, and bizarrely I have to say, Ukraine must behave as the Allies did in WW2, only a win, a comprehensive defeat of Russian imperialism will end it for two generations and beyond. This is not about Ukraine charging with tanks to break the Russian army. It’s about millions of drones driving them to defeat and desperation, knowing they have lost and they cannot have what they have stolen. Nobody wants their land, nobody wants their lousy industries and their bleating victimhood. We just need to make sure they never do this again. And for that Ukraine must pull off perhaps one of the most extraordinary military accomplishments in history. It will stand as a lesson for generations, but it will not be how the next war is fought, thats a lesson we must also learn.'

'And Ukrainians are right to think that Russia today, like Nazi Germany in 1945, is a fascist imperialist regime that can and must be defeated. Fascism was defeated last time because a coalition held firm and applied its superior economic power. The same holds true now.'

A defeated Russia means not only the end of senseless losses of young life in Ukraine. It is also Russia’s one chance to become a post-imperial country, one where reform is possible, one where Russians themselves might be protected by law and able to cast meaningful votes.'
