Some people believe willingly, some insist on objective information.
I wonder why Biden started his "diplomacy": the first days of his term with very vulgar descriptions of Putin, then approved the gas pipeline Trump had put under sanctions, and why today Putin's representatives are in Iran taking our place in the negotiations while his spokespeople say Russia's interests there are also ours.
I grew up seeing Pravda as anything but truth, and when studying Russian Lit of the 20th Century I found "Socialist Realism" basically crap warmed over. There is no objective reporting that really gets to the important questions. Everybody is lying
People have a right to know. That's what Freedom of the Press really means. Nobody censoring. People should have the right to objective reporting. Independent journalists are not allowed in Ukraine any more than in Russia. Zelensky has outlawed a majority of the people's political parties on ground he holds.
Still, some objective reporting is getting out, but our media censors it. Worldwide
, the press has gone silent except for declared partisans.
You have to remember Romney in 2012 disagreeing with Obama in the debatge, saying Russia was an issue. Now our RINOs and Dems are really trying to link Putin to Trump. Mark Levin and Sean Hannity, literally Trump "insiders" have done their best distance us from Putin. You can't even match that rhetoric in thses threads.
I understand Russia actually has some common ground with America because of old conflicts with Britain. Russia gave us Alaska in hopes it wouldn't fall into Canadian hands. I don't want to see stupid wars drummed up because of "Leadership" gone amok.
In today's CFR magazine, there is an article on leadership and how it has affected the Ukraine/Russia war.
In my opinion, there is a lot of evidence that this is a staged war, or deliberately provoked. I think Putin should not have gone into Ukraine, but nobody here is telling us what our diplomats have done, or what we have done. Putin was literally told, by Biden, that he could have a piece of Ukraine. But in return, the rest of Ukraine will become one of the heaviest armed camps in the world, just a few hundred miles from Moscow. This is really crazy.
And still we have little war mongers in here willing to raise the rhetorical heat.
Neither Russia nor Ukraine have institutional societies that can sustain democracy, it's foolish to believe UJkraine will be a "free" country even as much as Russia. The difference might be Zelensky is more "woke", but Russia is still about 40% communist.
We are the ones being hurt the most economically by this, other than the rubble landscaped I mean. Our liberty is on the line. We lose no matter who "wins".
