Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Foreign Policy & News The long and winding road to Dumbass

Well I guess we'd better dismiss Zelensky then.
Here ya go Pooty, Ukraine's all yours because USA=evil.

Feel better now?

Half a dozen? You flatter yourself.

As it relates to media criticism, it may or may not. I wouldn’t know in your case. The professional class tends to be the most propagandized.

Your obfuscations over a wire service and what you perceived to be my understanding of the trade and its role in government propaganda is what started this dumb line of comments. If I had a point it would be anyone who works in media should know their doing propaganda, wether it’s cultural, informational, etc.. your getting paid for your professional participation.

The infotainment media self censors. Always has, always will. Plenty of research done here. Or maybe your just naive?

But yes, let’s focus on the legal business structuring instead. Squirt squirt.

You’ll just have to believe me when I say I’m not interested in your career cept as it relates to propaganda.

Aww Jeeze no Jeff. Let’s keep flooding the zone and not try negotiation like the Russians were prior to March. Let’s keep helping to continue the slaughter that isn’t happening to the Ukrainian army. Or is. Guess it depends on what paper you read.

There you go about feelings again.

Oh such sincere negotiations in March.
Let's all trust that the Russians intended to keep their promises, like they're keeping them now.
Defend Pooty at all costs!
USA=evil.

Soooo…
Sarcasm and bombast is all you got now?

Ok.

Neoliberalism, which does have an actual definition, has been rendered into a meaningless buzzword by shitty white "progressives" who use it in exactly the same way MAGAs use "socialism."
In other words, "neoliberalism" now means "anything supported by people I despise."

Talk about bombast.

Would you like to start a thread about ‘neoliberalism’ Jeff? That would be interesting.

An Indian geopolitical observer worth reading, imo:

‘ Macron already marked his profound difference with the US stance on Ukraine, a topic that dominated his visit, in a remark in Paris on Saturday after his return, during an interview for the French channel TF1. Macron said,

“We must think about the security architecture, in which we will live tomorrow. I am talking, in particular, about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s words that NATO is approaching Russia’s borders and deploys weapons that could threaten it. This issue will be a part of the peace discussions, and we must prepare for what will come after [the Ukrainian conflict], and think how we could protect our allies and, at the same time, provide Russia with guarantees of its own security, once the sides return to the negotiation table.”

Macron’s US visit tells Europe’s alienation

Of course the question of why negotiations were rejected by the US has never been answered. My guess would be because the neocons at state didn’t want to thinking a military conflict between Ukraine and Russia would be advantageous to ‘our’ interests. It has moved merch. I’ll give em that. Weakening our supposed allies doesn’t seem to be a good trade off if correct.

Russia rejects pullout from Ukraine as condition for talks

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterated that Russian President Vladimir Putin remains open to talks but the Western demand that Moscow first withdraws its troops from Ukraine is unacceptable.

Yeah, looks like that ship has sailed.
I believe, after the vote to secede and become part of Russia, their (Russia’s) constitution forbids giving up any of their lands. Not my argument, simply pointing out the stakes.

Odd how your linked AP article inserts, in a clumsy way, the Ukraine regimes KIA number of 13k then repeats at the end. Odd that.. wonder if the fact checkers at the AP are doing that fact checking to be certain before repeating that number…

My guess is 13k will be repeated for as long as it’s deemed convenient to do so. Fact checked when it becomes inconvenient.

What vote to secede and become part of Russia?
Is this about Crimea now?
