I can’t believe that Netanjahu is more trustworthy than Zaluzhny.[sic]

Can you touch on this a little further please? I’m not sure I follow.

There was a lot of back and forth over the last two years whether UAF can be trusted. Either about applying the weapons as agreed (ie not using atacms against muscovite mainland), or with regards to safety of the provided assets (keeping weapons in Ukraine and not selling it further to baddies). Like, there's a severe shortage of atgms, and as of lately majority of russian hardware is hit either with artillery or with FPV drones, or direct hit weapons such as RPGs.

At the same time Netanjahu is a very risky political actor who has proven his, um, tendency to manipulate the political spectrum, who's government absolutely fucked up the insurrection, and who governs a closest thing to an apartheid system since SA. Ffs his minister of internal security is so far right, he was expelled from IDF! And these people are promised unconstrained access to weapons.

This makes me sad.
