I’m anti-imperialist and have never been shy about it.

Not into imperialist wars. Perhaps you are? It at least don’t mind em? I would think you’d appreciate the news links of the unfolding economic carnage and human suffering I’m posting then?

I mean, it’s not like anyone here has expressed an opinion (which is all the Rant is) of a desire for a peaceful settlement.

Nah. A lot of excitement of Putin’s imagined destruction and dubious drone cone echoing claims of Russian military incompetence, uninvestigated war crime behavior, etc, etc. I’m guessing that suspension of disbelief is getting harder as the material conditions keep getting worse in the Donbass in particular, Europe in general, the US eventually (though I don’t think near as bad as Europe).

Sure, I’m not happy with certain aspects of history. I would think that’s normal from anyone having any interest in it.

Not happy with our unfolding history of NATO expansion and Provocation/proxy war with a nuclear armed power. IMO, better to have Russia as an partner than an enemy but time will tell and you seem to have a different opinion. Blueanon types have drunk the 2016 Dem election fiasco koolaide and are all in with this conflict involving nuclear powers.

I guess I could ask you if your happy with the current crises? Has it gone the way you hoped? If so, why so? If not, why not?

Or will you dismiss the question with a ‘my opinion doesn’t matter anyhow’ evasion?
