The Novosti article is a written confession.  If I was a prosecutor at the Hague in the genocide trial of russian leadership, it would be the opening exhibit.

"Here's what Russia intended to do, in its own words -- Exhibit 1."

Then....

"And here's how it put that plan into place - [Exhibits 2-5,000, showing massacre after massacre]"

It's a winnable case.

Russia must never be allowed to participate in the civilized world again.  Ever.  If Russians want a nice vacation, they can go to the lovely beaches of North Korea or some shit.

It seems that stricter sanctions should be put in place.  No more baby food, medicine.

Good stuff here guys.  Will be fun to unpack in a few years when we create some distance. 

Ana going pro genocide was definitely on the bingo card.

And what do you think that unpacking will show? Don’t be cryptic - you clearly have thoughts, share them.

We have been lied to about every single war that we have engaged in during both your and my life times.  I don't know what that unpacking will show, and neither do you.  But I do tend towards the observation that past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior.

Correct. Thus, neither picture we get is entirely accurate, that’s a no-brainer.
However, one of those pictures is likely significantly more accurate, and less filed with lies, than the other. You know which one. After all, you just raised the “past behavior is the best predictor” rule.

I think that the entire information space is flooded and that the russians need to get their ass kicked all the way back across the border and that they need to feel the pain.  I hope that all plays out before some battlefield tactical nukes get rolled out. I think that most of this could have been avoided. I think that there are parties uninterested in avoiding. So here we are.

In my defense, I wasn't tapped into US foreign relations the way you clearly are, because you are a special breed, with a vast array of truth-telling alt-media sources that none of the rest of us can leverage. 

Or, maybe, you're just full of shit, as usual.  (Connecting dots.)

Jimmy choked this shit down and liked it. Probably condescended to people that pushed back at the time.

Who do you think the bigger liar here is Ukraine or Russia? Show your work

 

eta what do you think Ukrainian response would be if Russia pulled all troops out

True , but this is one war we aren’t yet actually engaged in, and there’s not much ambiguity about whose lying about the causes, and propagation.

Had a colleague make a hard pitch on relocation to Granada pre-pandemic.  I probably should have listened harder.

No hate buddy. Self-reflection is a good thing. Especially when it comes to American foreign policy. Admittedly a rare thing, but still.

Weak.

This is a thread about the current war in Ukraine. A war on the ground between Russia and Ukraine. The question is not a red herring, it is a direct and relevant question.

You want links to all the examples of your refusal to actually discuss things? Here's one:

How can the greatest country ever be guilty of some of the things y'all are accusing it of?  Just given the ops and dates of what some y'all are spouting off about, many of these heinous crimes against humanity pre-date Joe Biden.  So how do we marry that with your "you think we're so innocent" mantra?

I commented on the long and well established history of dishonesty at the intersection of our government/media/military apparatus when it comes to the war drums.  Here we are again.

But seriously, this thread is about Russia invading Ukraine.   Has the US invaded Mexico or Canada in the last 100 years that I am not aware of?  I mean outside of junior Karens, Chads and Ted Cruz showing up in Cancun?

Russia deserves to and hopefully gets their shit pushed in without triggering WWIII.

Ostriching the position that America holds in the world, and thus honest reflection on our own role in where things stand today is lazy, imo. Typical.  But lazy. We have an exceedingly short attention span. We'll do this shit over and over and over again until we don't.

What exactly are we doing that you would have us not do, specifically, with regard to Russia & Ukraine?  Bonus points for avoiding the verbification of random nouns.

Fighting the Germans, Japanese, and Italians in WWII was a good idea.

Trying to reason with Anastasis who is an intellectually dishonest Trump supporter and Russia apologist is a yuuuuge waste of time.

Profiteering off death and destruction throughout the world under guise of spreading freedom and democracy while we prop up dictators and authoritarians.
