On 3 April 2024 , I talked with Afshin Rattansi on his popular show — “Going Underground.” We talked mainly about the two big wars — Gaza and Ukraine — and the US role in both of them.
can't read the mearshimer stuff, but i know what he said, correct me if i am wrong: ukraine needs to be a colony of russia because it is much weaker than russia. and strangely he thinks israel shouldn't attack palestinians even though it is much stronger (whereas russia should attack ukraine bec it is much stronger) did i nail it?
He has never stated that Ukraine should be a 'colony' of Russia.
Putin is saying: Keep NATO away from our doorstep which the US and NATO have completely ignored. This was a red line for Russia but Biden in all his 'ga ga' notions cannot remember.
My suggestion to you is read about the Maidan coup d'etat in Ukraine which the US supported!
Also suggest reviewing what was done in Kosovo which has incredible parallels to the Donbass region of Ukraine. On the one hand US/Nato upheld the democracy of a presumably oppressed minority but the rules for Donbass were 180 degrees different. The stench Nato hypocrisy never seems to fade.
oops yes, i forgot that refrain, that nato is to blame for russia's appetite for empire. newsflash for mearshimer and his fans, russia was colonizing ukraine centuries before nato. my suggestion to you read about the maidan revolution from the ukrainians' perspective. of course you call it coup and of course you know better from third parties. that way you don't have to change your mind. and of course it is always very important to blame US first and putin never. you're doing very well on all these steps
It's you again, and again and again singing your old song. I told you to get your ass to the ukraine and if you have family take them with you if you care so much instead of spewing your lies that kill others.
nsakun, you can agree or disagree with Professor Mearshimer, I generally agree with him, but either way, the professor deserves more intelligent comments than yours, that's for sure.
You missed some important facts. The current war started with a coup in 2013. Magically, academy, Blackwater, and other far right mercenary groups started taking over Ukraine. Russians were tortured and publicly murdered and this was documented by Vice TV. Then, a bunch of NATO choices were put in government positions. Finally, the pervert Zelensky was put in charge.
Do you think a man who plays piano with his penis is a good person to run the government of Ukraine?
How could Russia be worse?
If you really feel that way ,good for you. Unlike Ukraine, this is still a free country.
Difference is Russians and so-called 'ukrainians' (who are quite often something else as well) have always lived together peacefully, with a huge amount of intermarriage and circulation across the artificial and historically ever-moving borders between so-called 'Ukraine' and Russia. So re-unification is a reasonable objective. Whereas Israeli Jews and Arabs under israeli jurisdiction have amply proven that they couldn't live together, intermarriage being considered a crime in both communities, and the only perspective separation, expulsion or war and slaughter until one of the two is eradicated.
mainly and nonstop, how creepy that the meershimer fans consider it just fine that russia invaded its neighbor because it wants that neighbor's land. they see no problem in that move. none. the problem is that there is corruption in ukraine. and the other problem is nato. always nato. never russia's demand to increase its empire. never russia's centuries of empire alive and growing. really creepy
Since we cannot get this in France because it is banned I will work my way around it.
The USA keeps using only one network? Why?

No. You did not 'nail it.'

nsakun. You can avoid news all you want BUT when the 'shit hits the fan' YOU will be wondering how completely duped you have been.
I don't care about you...one of the people who believe Mainstream Press BUT what I do care about is truth.
Go ahead and write your dim assessments.
Be happy at all costs while YOUR world crumbles around you.
It is a small clique in DC/London that is building an empire on the cheap.

No.

not for long if your friend putin gets to manipulate it via trump
Actually, I'm not on good terms with Putin. It seems that Vodka disagrees with me. I'm more of a bourbon man.
DarkStar UAVs deliver bourbon more often than vodka.
