  1. Absolutely. The American First movement in the U.S. Not the Trump one. The Lindbergh one. Not an accident that is was copied. White nationalist Lindbergh viewed the WW2 European conflict as a fraternal squabble of no concern to the rest of the world.
  2. Just a squabble? That's just RIDICULOUS. I suppose that's the line of denialist isolationists but it just isn't true. There are always those elements, like the Hitler admiring "America First" Lindbergh faction in the U.S. during World War 2. Tucker Carlson / many trumpists today. This is a war with very significant global implications and yes it matters very much who wins. Putin’s Ukraine War Is the West’s Biggest Test Since World War II (foreignpolicy.com)
  3. There is EVERYTHING to suggest that.
  4. Hitler with nukes.
  5. As the war is in a new phase, this seems to me to be a reasonably comprehensive and objective of why its focused in Donbas. Yes its from CNN. So sue me. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/15/europe/donbas-region-ukraine-war-russia-explainer-intl/index.html Donbas, Ukraine's ravaged heartland, has suffered eight years of warfare. Here's why Putin wants it
  6. But there is an existential threat to Putin.
  7. It should be headed to the end of Putin ASAP. He knows that too obviously. Thus the desperation.
  8. So Ukraine and the west is supposed to intentionally lose to Putin, this era's Hitler because of his threats?
  9. Win or lose hopefully win the Ukrainian people are teaching the world anew the value of freedom, democracy, and independence. Putin on the other hand is yet another reminder of the evils of fascism and totalitarian dictators staying in power way too long.
  10. Was lube needed? Asking for a friend.
  11. Alex Jones is vindicated
  12. Finally. Relief for incels.
  13. She was slithering around naked. What do you expect?
  14. I agree that Test & Go and Thailand Pass need to be canceled.
  15. The connections between Putin's fascism and the western far right are chilling. Biden's and even more so Zelinsky's framing of this conflict as democracy vs. Illiberal autocracy resonates. But the fight is global and I wouldn't bet on democracy winning.
  16. Just DON'T do.it! Test & Go and Thailand Pass
  17. Zelinsky has Chutzpah (Americanism not Yiddish meaning) on steroids.
  18. Hopefully it will be a Maybe NOT Victory day parade in Moscow. I wonder what happens to Putin if he can't sell a credible victory narrative by that date. Of course its a given he will lie at trumpian levels so probably reality doesn't matter.
  19. Yes. Its genocide rhetoric. There is no doubt at all.
