  1. Actually, this story is more simply understood: It’s The Economist responding to a pro Putin journalist at Time Magazine. When we, “ask ourselves, what is he hoping to get from this interview,” it seems obvious to me that he is responding to a major Time Magazine op ed, with a front page printing the word, “Alone,” next to a picture of Zelensky. It is almost a hit piece, seeming to want to undermine the idea of a Ukrainian victory. That’s the same direction that Russia bots and propagandists have taken in social media, telling us this will be a frozen conflict and we should call for peace, which merely means buying time for Russia to regroup. I’m surprised you missed this, Anders? It’s obvious, when you know the context. Though he doesn’t give the, “journalist,” at Time Magazine the oxygen of mentioning him directly, he does dismantle his points systematically, so it’s indisputable that he is aware of the piece and felt the need to respond to it. It’s the same question it’s always been, in the end: Will the west stop giving Ukraine what it needs to defend itself and start giving them what they need to win, or not? If they had the equipment, they would have won by now. It really is that simple.
