Zizek in my view betrayed the movement in his home country. That's why the press loves him so much. He also talks a lot without being that insightful in my opinion. Sarkar could be good, but that famous quote from her is the only thing

Russia is basically ok with Ukraine being a buffer state so long as it doesn't become a NATO ally. At this point Ukraine will probably have to give up the Russian ethic regions adjoining Russia to get peace. Imagine if Mexico tried to
