Dugan's book came after the deep state established it's anti-Russian policies. Russians could argue that our aggression came first at a time when we could have been integrating them into the west. Dugan also argued for the dismantling of China, which Russia shows no sign of pursuing. I find it far more compelling that Russia has been reacting to the US and not the other way around.
We know for a fact what the neocon plan was, and it had nothing to do with "Russian plans". The docs from the 1990s are all available. They wanted to be the only superpower. Reagan wanted glastnost and trade. But Bush's deep state had no interest in it. They saw Yelstin as a weak drunk and decided to take advantage of it. There hasn't been a president until now who has even talked of peace. Of course it wasn't up to them. it was up to the deep state players who were trying to box Russia in for their own interests.
But I'll say this, if the fascist Europeans (read Germans and British) are so worried about Russia, they can deal with it themselves. I wouldn't support a dime of American money going to another European war. it's a terrible waste.
I don't see flawed logic. I see arrogant neocons who could have had peace but wanted to dominate instead. There has never been any proof that Russia wants to invade Europe. What is more likely is corrupt US bureaucrats wanted to line their pockets. Can't do that through the war machine if there is no war.
And Russia hasn't punched them for it (Hungary is an example). But how would we react if Mexico announced it was joining BRICS and was receiving weapons systems from China? That's Ukraine to Russia.
100%. especially the old ones.
Less than 24 hours after this morning’s negotiations between U.S. and Russian Officials in Saudi Arabia, Russia tonight has launched one of its largest drone attacks in recent months against Odesa and other Cities across Ukraine; with over 150 Iranian-produced drones targeting energy infrastructure and other Ukrainian sensitive sites. They are mocking us. https://video.nostr.build/a499ab17d4a8bcb41e393cd469646b281ef552455c845050e1aa36f402d9e33c.mp4
or the Russians have been lied to so many times by the US and the Europeans that they won't stop until Europe quits pushing to include Ukraine in NATO.
When asked if he thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin can be trusted during Negotiations, Chairman of the Senate Armed Service Committee, Republican Senator Roger Wicker stated, “No. Putin is a war criminal who should be in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed.” https://video.nostr.build/ac9ebc2d8bda723ff0e5b906bbe30837bd94fd2fdaac6a435b15fc5a00030063.mp4
That's not helpful rhetoric. No one is arresting Vladimir Putin. Neocons are idiots.
I have one kid, and we got him at a park.
and also don't ask me for more taxes this year or ever again.
It seems like Ft Knox is the distraction while Trump dismantled the IRS.
amazing how staying with stacking year after year means that you become less worried about things as everyone else gets more worried.
hard times may be almost over for the early adopters. I feel like I've earned some stripes the past seven years of living through the emerging insanity.
what's the news today that's pushing everything down?
it must be hard to function with mental illness.
Everything is a rabbit hole with Whitney. The fact that she is still alive makes me think she's being fed this stuff to make everyone feel hopeless.
