Ah yes, the Brave Computer Keyboard Warriors, who transfer their own endless courage onto the real flesh-and-blood soldiers who will do the fighting and dying.
To the death they say.
No compromises with Russia as long as I’m sitting here at my computer, they proclaim!
(By now I'd think you would put some of your own thoughts together into an article — instead of showing up witrh lazy jabs at anyone writing anti-war pro-peace pieces.
Hmmm. You joined Medium after the war began. To use the bad argument of the pro-war folks: Is there such a thing as a paid USA troll?)
Yes, the Brave Computer Keyboard Warriors of Medium. All heroics and a view of Russia put together from watching Boris Badenov cartoons as children.
The good bad/evil black/white of their views I can only guess have been maintained by watching super hero movies, and maybe playing Call of Duty on their computers.
Not in my lifetime have I seen people spooked into such a false fear narrative — buying government blue/yellow propaganda so readily. I’d say McCarthyism would have to have been the most recent—and I look forward to the day that this is seen through likewise.
After your never ending trolling on ScottDunn's and another writer's pieces you should have come across the Nuland/Pyatt phone call from 2014 — and Professor Mearsheimer's analysis from 2015 that predicted just how the West was going to nudge the situation into what it is.
But yeah, of course — you’ve got some pat replies ready, however lacking in intellectual rigor they may be.
I'd also guess you're old enough to know how things went when Russia moved into Cuba.
The USA is luckily far from the action so they can mess with the rest of the world, and in this case use Ukrainian blood for trying to deplete Russia militarily.
And screw up Europe and anyone else they can pull puppet strings on to get their way. I dare say things have not gone as easily as the USA thought.
Yes - I do blame the USA first!
I live here—that’s why.
I take responsibility for this - not like the Brave Computer Keyboard Warriors who can comfortably act out their fantasies in other parts of the world—paint Putin the devil, that Vogue Magazine model Zelenskyyy an angel.
I am Ukrainian and Polish and know the history of the region and can’t be sold that bill of goods as easily as to most Americans, who historically are amazingly uninformed. Most don't even read the newspaper, much less digging behind the lies being printed.
They think the USA won the war against the Nazis.
I say we take care of your own monsters (Bush Cheney Obama Clinton et all are living comfortable wealthy lives, not in prison as war criminals should be.)
I faced the death lottery here when they wanted to send me to the other side of the planet to kills certain Vietnamese and not others. I have watched decade after decade the horrors this country has inflicted with military invasions and other actions. 800+ military bases all around the world.
I, and the whole world, has much more to fear from the USA than Russia. Although I am hoping that BRICS pulls the rug out from under USA hegemony!
We deserve it.
Your last sentence shows the desperate nonsense you'll spin in trying to make your untenable points for the USA escalating this war.
