Is Blumenthal also a huge dick for confronting Maddow about her Russiagate lies?

[Grizzly]

I don't know that he's a dick for this, but I do know she's mega wealthy and is being paid to simp for the War Pigs....

US liberals are currently the world’s #1 apologists for Nazis and it’s not even close. Here the NYT grudgingly acknowledges Ukraine’s Nazi problem not because they’re Nazis, but because their Nazism “threatens to reinforce Russian propaganda”:

@nytimes
The decision by some Ukrainian soldiers to wear patches with Nazi icons threatens to reinforce Russian propaganda used to justify the invasion. It also could give the symbols mainstream life after the West's decades-long efforts to eliminate them.

It's Russian 'propaganda' even when the soldiers have clear-cut Nazi symbols in their uniforms, etc.

Hey, remember this piece -- from Reuters, no less -- from way back in 2018?

Commentary: Ukraine’s neo-Nazi problem
By Josh Cohen, Commentary
MARCH 19, 2018

As Ukraine’s struggle against Russia and its proxies continues, Kiev must also contend with a growing problem behind the front lines: far-right vigilantes who are willing to use intimidation and even violence to advance their agendas, and who often do so with the tacit approval of law enforcement agencies.



...

Many of the National Militia's members come from the Azov movement, one of the 30-odd privately-funded “volunteer battalions” that, in the early days of the war, helped the regular army to defend Ukrainian territory against Russia's separatist proxies. Although Azov uses Nazi-era symbolism and recruits neo-Nazis into its ranks, a recent article in Foreign Affairs downplayed any risks the group might pose, pointing out that, like other volunteer militias, Azov has been “reined in” through its integration into Ukraine’s armed forces. While it’s true that private militias no longer rule the battlefront, it’s the home front that Kiev needs to worry about now.

Ukraine dam destroyed: Dozens of nearby towns expected to be flooded
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/ukraine-dam-destroyed-dozens-towns-expected-flooded

The destruction (https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/67342) of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station blown up by the UKR according to initial reports.

In that case,more than 80 settlements, including Kherson, will be in the zone of rapid flooding. Hundreds of thousands of people could be affected.

The destruction of the HPP could leave the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant without water for cooling.

...exclude the possibility of supplying water to Crimea in the coming years.

It's so frustrating to try to post from my phone... Grrr..

I didn't say he's a huge dick, you easily provoked man, I said he unnecessarily enjoys being a dick, which he can't seem to control. This was at the same time as praising him for most of what he does. I don't therefore heroize him and put him beyond any reproach.

To your question the answer is no, obviously, and why would you even ask, on this board, given the last few years?

Back to the ongoing horrors, I hope. Dam destruction, flooding, fucked up.

A sad day. I feel silly for believing that Russia would be smarter than to do exactly what was expected of it by Western propagandists and populations hungry for a final showdown (which in reality of course will involve the dismantling of global civilization).

But then, Putin is a chauvinist thug. So there's that.

What I find most distasteful here in Finland is the almost RELIEVED and eager atmosphere of finally being able to unleash all the pent up rage at Russia with full justification. War as a sport. Humanity is ugly.

Don't be a stranger.

Russian Army hits the bull's eye; Leopard tanks blown up as Ukraine troops 'run for life'

Russian Army hits the bull's eye; Leopard tanks blown up as Ukraine troops 'run for life'

Those Leopard tanks are a little disappointing.

The Russian defence ministry has released dramatic footage of anti-tank missiles blowing up German-made Leopard tanks along the frontline in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia. The black-and-white footage comes a day after Russia claimed to have thwarted a major attack along the frontline areas. In another video, Russian paratroopers can be seen 'crushing the enemy' with BMD-4M armoured fighting vehicles. Watch this video for more updates from the Russia-Ukraine conflict zone.

Russia was still in WTO? (When China joined, 2001, that was a big deal.)

Hi Anne Applebaum : you've cheered every disastrous US war for the last 25 years; you've always sent other families to die in those wars; and much of what you've said about war has been proven to be lies.

So tell us what to think now:

A perfect microcosm of corporate media:
