Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Simple, it reads to me like 1+1 = 3. The Ukrainian link is typical conspiracy theory.

My point is that its irrelevant to Ukraine. Unless you want to make a link that doesn't exist, and predicate it one 'trust.'

Not being smart, but have you watched whole video? Or just read Beeb report?

In emails to Fauci, four scientists said it was impossible that it jumped from animal to human. They changed their minds within three days. All were granted 9million in funding by Fauci. The receipts are there.

'The hysterical Russophobia being whipped up by the political classes and corporate media could propel Britain into a Third World War.'

Give me a break.

No I didnt. I'm just pointing out that what your search engine returned is one of the most partisan publications in the UK

But maybe take a look at the history of the Morning Star and where it came from. That’s why I call it partisan.

A bit like the GFA, victory can be suitably defined and redefined depending on how the settlement comes about. I agree Ukraine cannot win militarily, neither can Russia, though you could fairly argue the Russians more or less have what they want at this point in time. Western aid is largely designed to keep Ukraine above water rather than giving the ability to steamroll their way to Crimea. I suspect at some point the west will subtley persuade Ukraine to look towards a settlement of sorts.

This is probably better suited to your point

Journalist on the Twitter Files hearing in America.

"Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests from every corner of government, from the FBI, DHS, HHS, DOD, the Global Engagement Center at State, even the CIA.  For every government agency scanning Twitter, there were perhaps twenty quasi-private entities doing the same thing."

To me, this just hammers home the mental gymnastics necessary to conclude that America is the big tyrant here, when the invaded nobody. The big tyrant in this situation is Russia. But that doesn't suit their world view, so they need to rope in NATO (and then the USA) to avoid making the uncomfortable conclusion (in their eyes), that the counterweight they prefer (in a relative sense), is the big tyrant. And funny enough, many of the usual suspect have little difficulty criticising Zelensky, corruption in Ukraine etc. So they also focus on the 'small tyrant (as they see it)'. Last year some of these people would give mealy mouthed condemnations of Putin, many of them won't even do that anymore.

A small demonstration took place under the Spire in Dublin a few weeks ago. The criticisms were of NATO, Zelensky, America, Ireland, and Britain, with cheap applause available for anybody who bellowed 'Free Assange'. But noticeable, was the virtual absence of criticism of Russia, Russian Imperialism, Putin, Lavrov, or any of the fellow travellers. By shifting the goalposts sufficiently, they create a war between the USA and Russia, which doest exist. And of course, they just default to the old trope 'America is bad.' Its their warped moral justification for Russian invasion of a sovereign state. Its a comfortable refuge for the ideologue and the simpleton.
