I mean the west has been pretty open that they don't care about Ukrainians, and see sacrificing Ukraine as a cheap way to try and weaken Russia.

It's crazy hearing the same narrative from Ukrainians themselves.

I expect there's gonna be a huge backlash once it becomes clear to Ukrainians that they were being used all along.

More like a betrayal myth to rile up the neo-nazis.

I full expect that there will be a lot of blowback in Europe after the war. Given that a lot of weapons the west dumped into Ukraine went unaccounted, it's not hard to imagine that large numbers ended up in the hands of nazi extremist cells in Europe.

For sure. Though both you and I know they'll still blame Russia for it.
