Interesting read…appreciate it.
It’s sad…one of my coworkers is Indian and watches news streamed straight from India. They say the reporting on the war is so different it’s almost like they are talking about completely different events. -
Why the fuck the US has their fingers in yet another endless war/regional dispute is beyond me. Though 'endless war' answers that question.
Fuck you, Liz Cheney and your ilk.

That was a very revealing read. I'm a bit confused about a couple of things. 1. The Ukrainians have been shelling the southeastern region for almost 8 years which is a violation of the Minsk agreements and there has been zero reporting from the west on this? The militias engaged in this "genocide" are considered to be Nazis and yet there has been no condemnation or reporting? 2. The term Nazi is being used primarily because there is a decades old score to settle which goes back to WW2? Apparently Russian troops were led by Jewish officers and there are still regional scores to be settled against Russian Jews? Can someone provide some context for me here?
Also, the very end of the article opened my eyes to a conflict which has resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands, leaving millions of innocents to suffer in the (mostly unreported) greatest humanitarin crisis of our times in Yemen. Can someone provide a brief explanation of the war between Saudi Arabia and Yeman? The author in this article concludes by pointing out we? In the west are not being sanctioned (as are the Russian population for Putin's actions against Ukraine) for our leaders responsibility for the attrocities happening in Yeman or for that matter in any number of conflicts we've been engaged in for years in the middle east.

Tldr the Saudis and nominally the US back the "government" against the Houtis who have the proxy backing of Iran bc it's essentially all a proxy war between tribes that hate one another.RoadTrip said:That was a very revealing read.

And both sides have committed lots of atrocities most likely.

If you listen to Adam Curry, he makes a somewhat rational argument how Putin could be in on this with the Biden admin, in all the lies and how this thing is being protracted.
I'm not saying I believe that. I'm saying that I largely don't know what to believe. -

Glosses over essentially that little "invasion" of Crimea.
Glosses over the little green men in Donbas since 2014? Ish. "Only 50 foreign fighters" sure.gif
Putin is demilitarizing the Ukraine! Ok, so your invading a sovereign country to defeat its military. Pretty classic communist rebranding there.
Maybe I didn't get to the good part but he took a long time getting there and at some point I've had my fill of rehashed Kremlin talking points.
@RatherBeBrewing will probably be more willing and motivated to post a tequila style takedown. -
Would not shock me, after all, he will have more flexibility after the election... and he did get 3 million from the mayor of moscowDerekJohnson said:If you listen to Adam Curry, he makes a somewhat rational argument how Putin could be in on this with the Biden admin, in all the lies and how this thing is being protracted.

I don't think the point of the article is to support Putin or Russia in any way. However, to deny there are financial and corrupt motivations within factions of the United States (significant ones within in our own government) and those within Europe (NATO) is to be naive.UW_Doog_Bot said:

The only reason Ukraine is a thing is as a deflection from Bidens shit
