I think our government might have known there was going to be conflict in Ukraine.

Between 2021 and 2022 the Pentagon got over $1.6 trillion in funding.
I knew the war machine would start up after Biden go into office because we had no wars under Trump.
4 years of no wars got the MIC chomping at the bit as they got no new money.

Ukraine has a history of corruption. I'm not the least bit surprised.

Zelensky himself has 2 offshore accounts and a flat or two in London.
The Pandora Papers were tanking his polling numbers and re-election chances.

You are naming evil entities so we are just seeing which of the evil entites is more evil. You listed 4 countries. How many countries have been invaded by those countries? How many people have been killed, injured, displaced by those countries? The USA far exceeds whatever numbers you come up with, its not even close.

The difference is what is done domestically. While the US and its sub-entites does is pretty horrible, it isnt as bad as those other countries and it tends to do them in a way that does a better job of appearing legitimate and fair. So I wouldnt say the US is the most evil in how it treats people living on its soil. However, when looking at how governments treat people living in other nations; nobody can come anywhere near the US in its evil behavior.

A couple of interesting news on Ukraine:

For instance, Israeli Jews are accusing Zelensky of revisionism, saying Ukrainians were active, enthusiastic Nazis.

I just want to point out to our mini-McCarthay disciples, that the word "comrade" comes from latin camarada, and entered Russian lexicon through German, where fellow soldiers were referred to as Komaraden.

"Kameraden", in German. The Russian word is "Tovarisch", which has Slavonic roots and has eff-all to do with Latin.

Informative post, otherwise.

Today, Kameraden in German simply means friends/colleagues, like in sports, at school etc.

It's a fact this law was passed in Russia which bans the use of the word WAR. It's a fact that the Government of Russia has banned internet sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. None of this is propaganda you can continue to believe what you wish. Do you consider the world being round propaganda? Were the moon landings propaganda? Do you consider 9/11 propaganda. How about the 2020 election being a massive conspiracy to elect Joe Biden?
