Maybe he could meet up with Gonzalo Lira?RatherBeBrewing said:I had originally written a long explanation (shocking, I know) of how aid includes military transfers and the accounting associated with that, the disastrous SOAE miscalculation of the Nunn-Lugar Act, an explanation of how much money the US gave Russia post 1991 to fund our enemies, and the like. But, unless there’s an unlikely event of someone wanting me to expound on it, this should suffice:
By ROI this has got to be the most efficient military spending in US history since the Spanish-American war.
Not particularly related, but I think Glenn Greenwald and the Brazilian boy orphan he adopted and married should visit Grozny and do some investigative reporting from there. Maybe they can even find out why Snowden has been MIA for almost two months now. -
You do understand the kind of war they’re in? A full on invasion to destroy their existence, by which I don’t just mean the government in the capital, but full on destroy the existence of any civil resistance to Russian control? I think martial law is an appropriate response, don’t you?RaceBannon said:America has had robust opposition to our wars even WW1 when some fascist president tried to outlaw it.
We're paying for this?
As for “banning opposition parties” they banned ones that are considered pro-Russian. An extreme reaction, but wouldn’t most countries do the same during an existential threat? During the US Civil War, which wasn’t even a foreign invasion, did habeas corpus get suspended? Did elected representatives from rebellious states get expelled from Congress? Should politicians who are under arrest for treason, or those who have defected to the invading country, be allowed free reign? -
Who gets to determine whether someone is pro-Russian? Let the rest of NATO fund them.RatherBeBrewing said:

I saw @paws post and I know who he’s talking about. He’s a former American sex tourist that used to put out videos under the name “Coach Red Pill” and since the invasion decided to change from that to pretend journalist. He has been spouting off lies left and right, while calling this “one of the most brilliant invasions in military history” even while the city he lived in is being destroyed by Russian artillery.RoadTrip said:

I’d guess he’s alive. Maybe in Ukraine, maybe in Russia. I doubt the SBU would kill him, but possible. I wouldn’t rule it out. Journalists, real ones, have been killed, but mostly by Russian soldiers. It’s also possible that some Ukrainian checkpoint looked through his phone and saw all the pro-Russia content and just executed him on the spot. It’s the same thing the Russians do, and that’s why wars are bad.
The Snowden thing is just an observation for those who believe he’s anything other than a Russian agent, hence why I said “not particularly related” and only mentioned it because Greenwald was used and his hypocrisy has always been fascinating to me. -

America had nazi symps in WW2. Lindy among others
Ukraine can do what they want but Zelifsky can stfu about telling other countries what to do
The friend of my enemy is my enemy
If Putin said he was taking Russia back to Communism those Twitter Ukrainian flags would become the hammer and sickle overnight
Not my fight

Why does it matter who Snowden was allied to (or whatever word we want to use)? If his information is real, which based on the reactions of the government it seems likely, his motives are not that interesting or relevant.RatherBeBrewing said:

Uhhhhh .... OK!
I have no idea how you gleaned this about Gonzalo. It sounds like a smear by someone who hasn't spent more that 3 minutes with his content. I've consumed probably a 100 of hours, and that characterization as merely a sex tourist doesn't hold water. If you have a negative opinion of the 'red pill/man-o-sphere' to begin with, that would make a lot more sense.
Would love to hear why you think Greenwald is a hypocrite.
I've thoroughly enjoyed your perspective on UKR, but you seemed to have taken the long way through the woods wearing a blindfold on these two topics.
